Comments allowed on specific pages
 
Hello, I would like to have comments allowed on only a few pages of our site. We are a library and I will be putting a book up for discussion. We would like users to answer but only on that page for now. There may be a few other pages like that in the future but for now I really need it on just one. I have looked through threads multiple times and don't see an answer for this. :)

If you are allowing comments on pages,
Go to dashboard->pages edit the page you don't want comments on, find the section 'discussion' and uncheck the 'Allow Comments' box

I am using 3.5.1 and I don't see a discussion section on the edit page. Do I need to upgrade or something. I only want it on one page. Does this mean I will have to open it to all and then deactivate it on all but one?

go to ato-Style & configure COMMENTS and there is an option to allow comments on pages (this is an Atahualpa feature, you normally don't have comments tied to pages.)

I also wanted the comments to appear only on one "page" page. Unchecking the "allow comments" box, as described in this thread, worked. However, for the pages that have the "do not allow" box checked, the words "comments are closed" appear. Is there a way to remove this on the pages that the user is not allowed to leave a comment? Thank you.

one easy way would be to go to ato->Style & configure COMMENTS->Comments Are Closed text and blank out the option. However this would effect All places where the comments are closed, posts as well.

A more elegant way would be to change the option value to
HTML Code:

<p class="comment_closed">Comments are closed.</p>
then add a CSS Insert
HTML Code:

body.page p.comment_closed {display:none;}
