 * Hello,
 * I just downloaded the Accelerate theme, and I need to take the comments out of
   the pages. I tried disabling them in the settings but they still show up on pages.
 * Any help is greatly appreciated!
 * Best

 * Hi anna,
 * There are two different ways to disable comments.
 * 1. Disabling the comments on the whole site.
 * For that you need to go to:
 * Setting > Discussion > Default article setting > Untick “Allow people to post
   comments on new articles” > Save Changes.
 * 2. Disabling the comments on Single Pages/Posts.
 * For that you need to go to the individual page/post where you want to disable
   comment > Edit the page > At the top right open “Screen Options” > Check “Discussion”
   > Then you will see a discussion box at the bottom of the page. > Untick Allow
   comments there > Save changes.
