I wrote up this quick plugin that updates all posts of type post
to comment_status
open
on activation, it should work for you. you can immediately deactivate and delete it once you activate it that once.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: update comment status
*/
function activate_update_comment_status() {
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->update(
$wpdb->posts,
array(
'comment_status' => 'open'
),
array(
'post_type' => 'post'
),
array(
'%s'
),
array(
'%s'
)
);
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'activate_update_comment_status' );
