 * Going through “newbie” issues. I am using Twenty-ten Theme. I have 8 Pages, 2
   of which have sub-pages or tabs. I have turned off the Comments on the pages 
   but all the sub-pages still show the Comments option at the bottom. I have tried
   everything to remove the Comments but nothing is working. HELP! And thank you
   in advance for any suggestions or a fix!

 * Parent and child Pages all use exactly the same template (page.php) in Twenty
   Ten, so this is not a theme issue. Ensure that you have turned off all comments
   for each of the child Pages.

 * there is only the ‘settings’ ‘discussion’ page with options;
    and below each 
   page in the ‘edit page’ page, another ‘discussion’ box.
 * sub-pages are no different in this aspect.
 * to get the ‘discussion’ box in the ‘edit page’ page, you might need to click ‘
   screen options’ near the top right of that page first, which gives you a list
   of tickboxes to enable various fields.

 * Thx for the replies – I have done both – the Screen Options window shows the 
   Comments Box unchecked and yet the Comments still appear.And I have accessed 
   the General – Discussions and unchecked the “Allow people to post comments on
   new articles? and saved and still they appear on all the “child pages”.

 * > the Screen Options window shows the Comments Box unchecked
 * the box **needs to be checked **so that the actual ‘discussion’ box can appear
   below the page editor in the ‘edit page’ page.
    (all the option tickboxes in 
   the ‘screen options’ are only there to enable the real boxes in that page.)

 * Thx alchymth! That was the problem as when Discussions was not ticked, then I
   could not untick the Comments box below!!!! Just another bump in the road of 
   learning WordPress “logic”. Many thx for alleviating my headache!
