How do I turn comments on or off for one story?

In this story

Where: Stories → All stories → The story editor

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/articles (replace <your-site> with your site address). Then open the one you want.

Where to find it

On a laptop it is in the right-hand column of the story editor. On a phone or tablet, scroll down below the story. Open Comments on this story. Save the story first.

Steps

  1. Choose if comments are open, closed, or follow your site setting.
  2. Under How comments on this story are checked, choose a stricter check for a sensitive story.
  3. Tap Save comment settings.
  4. To read them, tap Review these comments.

Good to know

  • This changes one story only. Site-wide rules are in Readers & money → Comments → Comment settings.
