[wp-hackers] Disable comments on pages post type

[Gavin Pearce]

If you have any pages setup already, it's worth running:

UPDATE `wp_posts`
SET comment_status='closed'
WHERE post_type='page'

else you'll find some pages will still display the comments RSS feed in
the header etc ...

Hi Chris, John,

Thanks! Though removing the comment line from page.php would still show 
the comments box in the back-end however, hence the problem.

I'll try your method John, and report back on results.

Thanks again,
Rob

the work WP has to do as opposed to removing the line takes away from
the workload.
