 * you should look at conditionals with wordpress. Such as is_single(), is_page()
 * if you are looking to allows comments on one page but not another, I would make
   an if statement for the post id
 *     ```
       if($post->ID!=45)
       {
       //do stuff like show comment form
       }
       ```

 * are you specifically working with pages, or posts and pages.
 * if pages, there is a file in your template folder called page.php.
 * search that file for “comments” and you will probably find something like comments_template();
 * that displays your comments form.
 *     ```
       if($post->ID!=45)
       {
       comments_template();
       }
       ```
   
 * if you want to blog from posts, you will edit single.php
 * of course, every theme is different, so the theme author might have just added
   the full comment code to your page.php file instead of using the comments_template();

 * i tried but i couldn’t get it done. i saw comments_template(); but when i added
   what you told me it gave an error, though i know i must have missed something.
   what i di was
    after comments_template(); <?php comments_template(); //since 
   am working on pages i did if(page_id=19) { // i realy dont know what to put here
   no display; } ?>

 * if you want to remove from all pages, just comment out comments_template() function
   in the page.php file.
 *     ```
       //comments_template();
       ```

 * thanks buddy.
 * I got a place around and i think it solved my problem.
 * on the pages in the admin area, just mouseover a page name, it will bring up 
   different options for you, click on quick edit, you find the option of allowing
   comments or not, but on the site depending on theme used, it will just say comments
   closed.
 * Though i don’t want comment closed but i guess i’d just make do with this for
   now pending when i get a better solution.
 * Thanks buddy
