 * Hi,
 * On this page, [http://umotivateu.com/intro/](http://umotivateu.com/intro/) I 
   have a double comment form. I’m using the twentytwelve theme. Any advice for 
   eliminating the redundant form?
 * Thanks,
 * mountain

 * have you edited content-page.php or comments.php in any way?
 * the comment form is done by a plugin – which one, and have you chaecked any settings?

 * Hi,
    I added this: <?php comments_template(”, true); ?> to the page.php document
   because without it comments don’t seem to work at all. In Settings -> Discussions
   the box is checked allowing folks to make comments on new pages. For old pages
   I have enabled comments on a page by page basis. I can get more specific about
   settings if you need me to.
 * Thanks for responding.
 * All the best,
 * mountain

 * double check page.php, as the unedited page.php of Twenty twelve already contains
   the line `<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>`
 * section of original page.php:
 *     ```
       <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
       				<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
       			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
       ```

 * This is my page.php
 * <?php
    /** * The template for displaying all pages. * * This is the template 
   that displays all pages by default. * Please note that this is the WordPress 
   construct of pages * and that other ‘pages’ on your WordPress site will use a*
   different template. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)

   Twenty Twelve 1.0 */
 * get_header(); ?>
 *  <div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
    <div id=”content” role=”main”>
 *  <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( ‘content’,‘
   page’ ); ?> <?php comments_template(”, true); ?> <?php endwhile; // end of the
   loop. ?>
 *  </div><!– #content –>
    </div><!– #primary –>
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * I added the <?php comments_template(”, true); ?> myself after reading about it
   in a forum post. It did strike me as strange that I would have had to modify 
   this file just to get comments to work but without that line the comment section
   doesn’t appear at all in the page.
 * Is there another .php document I should check. I should also mention that I have
   JetPack comments enabled but that just seems to add additional options to the
   comments configuration.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Also I found the line of code: <?php comments_template(”, true); ?> in this file:
   page-template/full-width.php. We are using this full width no sidebar option 
   in the template options. However, removing this line from the full-width.php 
   document has no effect leaving two forms for comments on the pages, removing 
   the line of code from the page.php document leaves no forms for comments at all.
 * Also, this is having no effect on the comments function in the actual blog posts.
   Here you get a link that says leave a reply.
 * Thanks

 * Solved!!!!
 * I had the following in my comments.php file
 * <?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?>
    <?php comment_form( array( ‘title_reply’
   => ‘Comment’ ) ); ?>
 * By removing the first reference I got rid of the redundancy of forms.
 * All the best,
