   Hi there

   I just got started with wordpress and so far its easy and nice :) I've made a new theme for my site that is based on the classic template. However I want to make some static pages with no comments. And yes I know you can turn comments off in the admin panel. But it still shows:

   "Comments:

   No comments yet.

   Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time."

   I tried editing some stuff in the comments.php file but with no success. So how do i do this. I only want comments on posts but not on pages as it is in the "defualt" theme (couldn't adapt the changes from there, it seems to have a page.php file, but if I just copy it over to my theme it makes no differnce)

   Hope someone can help, thanks!

   Didn't test this but in your wp-content/themes/classic/index.php file:
   change this:
   

   <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>

   to this:
   

   <?php if ( !$is_page ) { ?>
   <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
   ?php } ?>

   You can try removing this from your custom page template and see what happens;

   <?php comments_template();?>

   Then continue editing the template to suit your design needs.

   [Edit] Or, what MichaelH said. I must think way too simple for my own good! Darn you guys who actually know what you are doing! (shakes fist in air), Darn you all!

   It is not the "Comments (1)" on the frontpage i need to change (which is the code you are editing atm?) its when you allready are in a page i need to take the comments away.

   @AzaraT,
   My apologies, I just actually looked at the classic theme. You are going to want to go with MichaelH on this one.

   For those that don't know code...
   Save the index.php as page.php (this is for the Classic theme, which is lacking most of the template files!) and edit out/delete everything you don't need. Done.
