WordPress: How to deactivate comments

Why do I need to deactivate WordPress comments?

In some WordPress websites comments can be very useful, but, comments can be also a big SPAM source. Some spam robots insert hundreds of comments on your website in order to link to their spammy websites, this can be negative to your SEO and also, can fill your database space, which could cause the deactivation of your site.

To avoid this situation we have two options, deactivate comments or configure a captcha.
