Title: comment template problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # comment template problem * [ronaldb73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronaldb73/) * (@ronaldb73) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-template-problem-2/) * I have the following problem: In general I let people react to any post on the site and all works fine. But with some posts I want to disable the comment option. Problem is that whenever I uncheck the comment option and save the post, the sidebar drops below the post. * I’ve counted all the div’s and /div’s and that’s not the problem. Anyone have any idea what could cause this? OR Can anyone tell me how to NOT load the comments template in some categories?

Do the opening and closing divs match in that file? I think the comments.php is supplying the closing `` for #contentleft.
