theme development - Comment status shows 'closed' in db, but it shows 'open' when i echo it

Here is database ss. And comment_status is closed

But when i print it, it shows open

echo $post->comment_status;

Also, in page settings, comments checkbox is unchecked.

So, i can't hide comments in pages. How can i fix it?

• Are you sure, that you're printing comment_status for the same post? Maybe there is a custom wp_query that is modifying the global $post variable? – Krzysiek Dróżdż Commented Mar 5, 2019 at 10:32
• Yes you are right. I put another query in this page template and $post not see page ID. It gets $post from first post of custom query. – wpdev Commented Mar 5, 2019 at 10:49

First thing I would do to debug such case is printing $post->ID just before printing the comment status. (And make sure if it is equal to 414 - the post you’re checking in DB)

I’m almost certain that somewhere in your page you make another wp_query and modify the global $post variable. So when you’re printing the comment status it’s showing the real value but for different post.

If you do such wp_query, then you'll have to remember to use wp_reset_postdata after that loop, so the global $post variable is restored to its original value.
