How to get rid of comment form on wordpress

[iArtist]

How do I get rid of the comment form that appears at the base of my pages on my wordpress.com site.

I can turn off comments to blog posts, but don't have that feature for the pages. I have a contact form already so would rather turn off comments on pages.

Any ideas??

Thanks

I'm afraid there is no option setting to turn it off for pages.

See this thread on how to disable comments on pages by removing a line of code in the pages file of your theme:

I can't do it I'm afraid, am not able to manipulate the css code for this particular site.

How annoying.

Unique Gift, I noticed that Jamie offered you help, is the problem fixed now?

normally it is settings>discussion> and uncheck the comments option.

I haven't accpeted the offer as yet, don't like to cause work for people

I have though managed to make the form more tolerable looking and so am content with it.

I think it can't be done with this particular template as the check box which is usually present (as OWG) mentioned is not present.

I'm glad you are content with it now.

The only way it seems to get it done is removing a specific line in a file to stop the comments on pages (not posts) showing.

If you still need help I too am willing to offer you help, free of charge

Just quickie to let you know the latest version of Wordpress has a checkbox to allow administrators to remove the comment form . It is ticked by default just untick it when creating a post - Simples .

I do it like that:
Go to Pages=> click on the "quick edit" option for each page and remove the comments box Hope this will help you!

Because you are hosting with wordpress.com there is no way to completely remove the comment form/list from your pages.

You either have to accept the current format or install WP on your own domain.

Wordpress.com allows you to publish pages without the comment box.

normally it is settings>discussion> and uncheck the comments option.

Wordpress.com: settings > discussion > uncheck "allow comments on new articles".

Wordpress.com allows you to publish pages without the comment box.

Yes but it leaves a comment message at the bottom of the page. The only way to expunge all reference to comments is to remove the line from the code and that's not allowed on wordpress.com hosted blogs.

No it doesn't. Out the box example, comments turned off, no additional CSS work on default twenty ten theme Biffy Xmas No1 campaign site.

It depends on the theme ... Some display 'comments are turned off' and some don't display anything. Each theme is different.
