Removing the comments box

    We noticed that when we click on a non-bloging page like for example the ‘About’ page in the sidebar, there is still a comments box that displays at the bottom of the page. Our ‘About’ page describes what the site is about, and doesn’t need people commenting there. How would we remove it, use a conditional of some sort? We saw no option to remove it.

    Does your theme have or use a Page template (usually named page.php)?

    If so, edit that and remove the comment stuff from it.

    If not, then it is using index.php for page display. In that case, I’d copy index.php to page.php (see my link above) and then proceed as mentioned above. You’ll also need to visit the Page editor and point the existing pages to the newly created page.php template file.
