To disable comments on future Pages & Posts, uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in Settings -> Discussion. Then edit each published Page or Post and uncheck “Allow comments” in each case. If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options at the very top of the page and check “Discussion”.
Thanks Esmi!! very helpful.
strange this does not seem to work on one page where comments still appear and I have followed the procedure above. Any ideas why that may be?
thanks
same problem with me, although I unchecked allow comments still I have leave a comment at footer.
I did what ESMI said to do but I had to delete the page and recreate it to get the leave a reply to go away.
Hope this helps
Enter this code into your Custom CSS then you wont have to re-create your page
#respond.comment-respond {
display:none;
}
