Enqueuing a script only if we’re seeing a single post and comments are open for the current post
With this code you can always disable comments on pages, assuming your theme uses comments_open() to check if the comments are open.
Note: Comments are disabled on pages by default in 4.3+.
With this code you can enable comments on a post that has custom field “Allow Comments” set to 1.
This is helpful when you have told WordPress to disable comments for posts that are older than X days but wish to enable comments for a handful of old posts.
