Normally the comment box wouldn’t appear on the main page but only on the single.php page. I guess my question is, was the content of that page created, as a post? * Thread Starter [koolzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolzero/) * (@koolzero) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622781) * no it was made as a page. * [Doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/) * (@doodlebee) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622782) * you just need to open up your comments.php file and remove that line. * Thread Starter [koolzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolzero/) * (@koolzero) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622783) * i have deleted the line that says comments are closed, but it still has the box. could you be more specific as to what i need to delete please? * [Geezerjim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorjiml/) * (@actorjiml) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622784) * So, it is stored in the WP database as a page, correct? If that is the case you should be able to edit your page.php in your theme directory and find where the comment section begins. I don’t know how comfortable you are in editing those files, (MAKE BACKUPS) but you should be able to remove or comment out that section. * Thread Starter [koolzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolzero/) * (@koolzero) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622785) * yes that is how it is stored. are you talking about in the actual theme folder there should be a page.php? * [Geezerjim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorjiml/) * (@actorjiml) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622786) * That’s correct. * [Doodlebee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doodlebee/) * (@doodlebee) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622787) * Okay, you’ve deleted the *text*, but you didn’t delete the formatting around it. You forgot to get rid of: *

Comments are closed.

* Of you don’t want it to show, then you have to get rid of that. Of course, if you delete it completely, then when comments *aren’t* closed, it won’t have the box, either. So you need to use an if statement. I don’t know what your code looks like, though, so I can’t tell you exactly what to put. * Thread Starter [koolzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolzero/) * (@koolzero) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/#post-622788) * to actorjiml : i do not see a page.php * to doodlebee : here is my code: * [COMMENTS](http://drumstatic.com/comments.txt) * FYI : there will never be a need for comments as i am making a custom forum. so i can completely get rid of them =D Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Comment box issue, Please help’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 23 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [koolzero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolzero/) * Last activity: [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-issue-please-help/page/2/#post-622797) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
