 * I have gone into discussion settings and checked off everything, but can’t seem
   to disable comments. I know I can go to each page individually, but is there 
   anyway to do it from the settings?

 * If you are familiar with editing PHP files, look for a section like this in a
   file probably named post.php or page.php. You’ll want to remove the following
   code. (Make a backup of the php file before editing.)
 * =======================================================================
 * <div class=”postedinfo”><?php the_tags(‘<span class=”tag-meta”>Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘,‘
   </span>’); ?> <?php _e(‘Posted in’)?> <span class=”categories”><?php the_category(‘
   $ <span class=”comment-icon”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’,‘%
   Comments’)?></span>
 * <?php if (isset($options[‘tags’])) : ?><span class=”tags”><?php the_tags(”, ‘,‘,”);?
   ></span><?php endif; ?></div>

 * It worked for me, on one of my clients’ sites. [http://thebestofficeservices.net](http://thebestofficeservices.net)
 * Good luck.
