I just edited page.php and replaced

with

comment_status) {
comments_template();
}
?>

Worked like a charm, thank you!

Hi guys,

I’ve tried this and it’s work.

Firstly, login to your admin site. click the Presentation tab. In the Theme Edetor tab, search for index.php file.

Look for the below paragraph

Hi ZEO,

Yes you can do that but you will get the “No Comments” and “No comments yet” message at the bottom of your page.

If you don’t mind that, by all means you can simply untick the ‘Allow Comments’ checkbox.

For my purpose though, I made several changes to my comment template so even if the comment is unticked, the changes will still be visible.

LcF, nice tip.

An easier way is to check comment is enable or not for the post/page, then show comment template if comment is enable.

Sample code:
if (’open’ == $post-> comment_status) {
comments_template();
}

Dude, why don’t u just edit the page and untick ‘Allow Comments’ and ‘Allow Pings’ under Discussion block?
