How to Disable Comment for Specific Post & Page

Comment is the most successful way to interact with the blog or website visitors. Through the comment option visitors can easily share their views with the Blog/Website admin and as well as with the other visitors. It is the best way to analyze the engagement of readers. So, Blogger always welcome comment on their posts. But sometimes you may need to disable comment for your blog's posts. Reasons and Procedure is explained below. In this post I'm gonna show how to disable comment option for an specific post.

Related Posts:

Though comment is very important for blog/website. But sometimes it may happened that you have got a lots of comment for one of your Post. In such case the better idea is you should disable comment option for that post. Because a post contains a huge numbers of comment will take too much time too load. Beside that on some posts you may don't want to allow visitors to comment. On the other hand pages like about us, contact us, privacy policy and sitemap pages don’t need comments. So, you should disable comment option for these pages.

By default on Blogger.com platform comment option is enabled both for posts and pages. There are two options available on Blogger by which you can disable comment on your blog. One is Blog Settings and other one is Post/Page settings. But when you want to disable comment option for an specific post or page then you should not use the Blog Settings. Because if you disable comment option using Blog Settings then the comment option will be disabled for the whole blog. So, you should use Post/Page settings. Let's see the procedure...


Disabling Comment for Specific Post/Page:

  • First Sign into your Blogger Account and go to Dashboard.
  • Then click on Edit link of the Post/Page that you want to disable comment option.
  • Then at the Right Panel click on Option.
  • Here you will get three options for Reader Comments. By default Allow option is selected. To disable comment there are two options available. These are...
    • Don't allow, Show existing: Further comment will not be allowed but the existing comments will be shown. 
    • Don't allow, Hide existing: Further comment will not existing comments will not be shown as well.

      post comment option
  • Select the suitable option and click Done.

That's it. Now go to that post/page and you will find that the comment option is disabled as you have chosen.

Best Way to Optimize Blogger Comments Option !!!

Blogger comments is a wonderful option to increase the engagement of visitors with your blog. But spam and irrelevant comments can make your blog polluted. That is why you need optimize your blog's comments option. So, that you can protect your blog from spammer. Earlier I had published a post about Captcha Code Verification in Blogger Comments. And today I am presenting some tips by which you can optimize your Blogger blog comment option.


If you are blogging on Blogger platform then this post dedicated to you. By making some adjustment in the Blogger Settings you can make your Blogger Comments option more optimized.


Objectives Of This Post...
  • Making Blogger Commenting Process More Easier.
  • Protection Blogger From Spammers.
  • Increasing Blog's Visitors Engagement.

First you need to Sign Into your Blogger Account and go to Dashboard. Then click on Setting and choose Post and Comments. And you will land on the following interface. Then do the following customization.

Blogger Comments Optimization

  • Comment Location: By this option you can customization the location of your blogger comments box. By default the comments box location is Embedded. That means the comments box location is fixed at the below of the posts. There are another three options available named Full page, Pop up or Hide. But you should use Embedded option, because visitors like embedded comment box.
  • Who Can Comment?: There are four options are available here, Anyone, Registered User, User with Google Accounts and Only members of this blog. The default option is Anyone. Choose the Registered User option. Because Anyone option allows anonymous users to comment on your site. And anonymous comment has no value. So, you should use Registered User option.
  • Comment Moderation: Here you will get three options: Always, Sometimes and Never. You should choose Sometimes or Never. In suggest you not to choose Always. Because when a visitor make any comment on your blog, He/She wants to see his/her comment appearing immediately. And in that case Never option inspire the visitors to make comment most, which increase the visitors engagement.
  • Show Word Verification: By default Word Verification is on for Blogger Comments. But I will suggest you to use NO. If you are interested to know more about this option then read this full post about Word Verification on Blogger Comments.
  • Show Backlinks: Here you will get two options, You can choose either Hide or Show. If you choose Show then a link saying Create a Link to this Post will be shown under the comment box. If any visitor click on this link then he/she will get a link of this current post. Basically this option is less important.
  • Comment Form Message: This option also less important. If you want to give any message or direction to the comments makers then you can write is here. The message and direction will be shown just below the comment box. You can write any advice or rules about comment making regarding your site policy, which will help the visitors to make relevant comment.

Tips for Blogger Comment Management:
  • Most of the comments are made by the site or blog owners. They make comment to create backlink. I suggest you to allow them. Because crating backlinks is healthy for any site.
  • When any visitor create backlink by his/her with irrelevant comment then don't remove the comment immediately. First you should request the comment maker to make the comment relevant with the post, otherwise you should delete/remove the comment.
  • You should check Comment Spam box regularly. To check comment spam first click on Comment then click Spam. If any normal comment is detected as spam than you should choose not spam for this comment. If any suspicious comment is not marked as spam then you can mark these comments as spam.

Extra Tips:
  • Never misbehave with your blog/site visitors. Always try to behave with them with service mentality. Because they are the most valuable wealth of your site. Some visitors may come to your site only for creating backlinks purpose, whatever their objectives are, don't show hostile behavior with him. Inspite of having a lot of site to create backlinks, they pick your site. It shows your credit. Always try to manage and respond your blog's comments in a better way to increase the visitors engagement.
