My site's comments box still seems to appear on pages where comments are turned off, right below the "comments off" note.
Any ideas? I cant find any reference to comments in index.php, template.php, and my template does not use a page.php file.
Cheers

You might have a comments.php
In that there might be this:
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
This begins a series of if / else statements which basically say that if comments are open, show the comments textarea and all the labels etc.
I'd check first of all to see if that line of code (or similar) is there.

Finally found my page.php
Simply replacing
<?php comments_template(); ?>
with
<?php if ( comments_open() && $lw_disable_comments == "false" ) : comments_template(); endif; ?>
seemed to do the trick - although that removed comments altogether from ALL Pages - irrespective of whether they are selected to appear or not in administration.
I have found the comments.php which begins with:
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
But I am not exactly sure what i am looking for.. sorry.
Here it is in full:

You're probably going to have to replace your original code :-)
In the meantime, paste what you have in full for comments.php in the pastebin as it's been moderated.

@ faithcopeland
Make sure this is unticked
Allow people to post comments on new articles
This only applies to all posts written AFTER you've ticked it. For older posts, go to the post within Admin and there's a box at the bottom to tick or untick (can't remember)

in your case, it seems that you should check all your setting in the admin area again:
'settings' 'discussion'
and also for each post and page, below the page/post editor window - there should be a 'discussion' field.
if this does not show, you need to click 'screen options' near the top right of these pages; and tick the 'disussion' tickbox to enable the 'discussion' field below the editor.
as you are new to wordpress, i might be a good idea to get familiar with all options and settings in the dashboard/admin area.
