How do I turn off comments globally?

guy

Since SM no longer allows anonymous comments & only people with facebook or Smugmug can leave a comment I'd like to take all the comment boxes off my site globally rather than gallery by gallery. I'm sure there must be a switch for this but I can't find it!

Thanks.

Hi Guy,

There is no button to turn this off globally. You can change several gallery's gallery settings at once if in the same folder. You can also use CSS to remove this globally.

If you need specific account/site help, please email the help desk from the email address used on your SmugMug account.

• Go into the Organizer.
• Click on a folder to open it.
• Use ctrl-click or shift-click to select a number of galleries, or use ctrl-A to select all galleries in the folder
• Click the Settings button to open bulk gallery settings
• Click the Social tab
• Click the checkbox in front of Comments, then click Off
• Click Save
• Repeat process for each folder

It sounds like a lot but it goes pretty quickly.

Thanks Denise, I'll poke around & see If I can find the right CSS to do this then if Anonymous are ever allowed again I can quickly reverse it.

For others who may be interested I found this in the customization forum and added it to my "Entire Site" CSS block. It seems to work!
