  Hi there!

  Is there any way to disable the comments on media attachments without any plugin?

  I refer specifically to the image carousel slider.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best Regards,
  Ramon

  Hey there, Ramon 👋

  As it happens, there isn’t a way to disable comments for specific media, but you can disable comments for posts and pages by:

  1. Heading to the Edit screen for your post or page.
  2. Clicking the ‘More Options’ panel.
  3. Unchecking ‘Allow comments’.

  Sorry if that’s not the answer you’re hoping for!

  Thanks for your prompt reply Scott!

  I have been able to check that it’s possible to disable the comments, even from the carousel, but you need to disable the comments from the config panel and then, upload the images.

  The big problem for me is the number of images to re-upload…around 400!

  Well, that’s better than nothing.

  Best Regards,
  Ramon
