 * Something strange is happening to my site. I do not allow comments and have it
   set properly under Discussion to NOT ALLOW.
    But comments are coming in? What
   is happening?
 * Also, when I UNcheck the post or page setting to allow comments. I save the page
   and when I come back to edit or view it. The box for comments is CHECKED. The
   theme company support says it is a wordpress function and not the theme’s fault
 * Anyone run across this problem? WHat is the solution? I cannot allow comments!!!
   
   Thank you for your help in advance!

 * Can you replicate the problem using the default 2012 theme with **all** plugins
   deactivated?

 * This just started happening. The site has been up for over 2 years and it never
   had this problem. No new plugins have been added. It was working. The site was
   hacked recently and I wonder if this had something to do with it?
    I don’t have
   any other theme installed

 * ALL WordPress installs should have a copy of the current, unedited, default theme
   installed. Install the Twenty Twelve theme and then try the suggestion I posted
   above.
