 * > Also can I remove the ‘Leave a reply’ section from all pages?
 * You can turn comments off for all posts and pages from this point on at Settings
   > Discussion, which you can override on a post by post and page by page basis,
   if you wish. For existing posts and pages (already published, you can use the
   [WordPress Bulk Edit](http://codex.wordpress.org/Posts_Screen#Bulk_Edit) or [Quick Edit](http://codex.wordpress.org/Posts_Screen#Quick_Edit)
   feature to change them quickly.

 * Where are you wanting to add these sections? The normal main page of Intergalactic
   is designed to show posts, not page content.
 * You could create a static page and put both your about and contact sections into
   the content area of that page.
 * Another alternative would be to create a [Custom Page Template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates).
 * I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will
   not be overwritten by a future theme update.

 * HI Sacredpath, thanks very much for the info.
 * I have added a plugin to create a child theme, seems to work well. One Q on that.
   Once I work on the child theme that, will that one remain live, and any updates
   to the theme will only be applied on the parent theme? Is the updating of the
   theme same process as normal?
 * Regarding the sections, I wanted to have everything on the one page. I guess 
   this is not the theme to do that. I created separate pages (about / contact us).
   but would like guidance on how to remove the commenting sections on these pages:

 * Thanks

 * Yes, the parent theme will be the only one updated, so any changes you make to
   the child will not be overwritten. The updating will be normal.
 * If you open your pages (about, contact) in the page editor, and go to screen 
   options and activate Discussion, you can then turn commenting off for those pages
   in that discussion module (comment and trackbacks). That is easier than using
   targeted CSS to hide the comments on those pages, and it makes it easy to switch
   back if you wish to later on.
