• I am trying to remove the “comments are closed” box and text from my page, but I’m having no success. I’ve edited out the text, but there is still a gray box that remains and I want to remove it as well. Can anyone help me out? I’ll post the comments.php text:

    <div class=”roubcornrcontent”>

    {
    if ( post_password_required() )
    {
    echo ‘<p class=”nocomments”>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>’;
    return;
    }
    } else

    Ahh.. I’ve been searching all day. I know how to get rid of the text, I just can’t seem to get rid of this damn gray empty box.
