Comments

I need to remove Comments are closed from my pages. I found this code in comments.php

‘<?php echo ‘<p class=”nocomments”>’ . __(‘Comments are closed.’, ‘theme1493’) . ‘</p>’; ?>’

To be sure I made a little change from Comments to Comment

‘<?php echo ‘<p class=”nocomments”>’ . __(‘Comment are closed.’, ‘theme1493’) . ‘</p>’; ?>’

and on the web page I saw Comment so I was sure that was it. Then I just commented out the whole thing

‘<!–?php echo ‘<p class=”nocomments”>’ . __(‘Comments are closed.’, ‘theme1493’) . ‘</p>’; ?–>’

Thinking it would remove Comments are closed.

But its still there. What am I doing wrong?
