# Hide "Comments are closed" in posts

 * I disabled comments in the theme editor: Coraline by Automattic 1.1
 * It was page.php
 *     ```
       <?php
       // comments_template( '', true );
       // disabled by webmaster on 11/29/2011
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Our organization doesn’t want the website to look “bloggy.” So when I need to
   post a blog entry, I don’t want it to look bloggy. There are a few things I will
   want to disable to accomplish that. For example, now that I disabled comments,
   the bottom of the post says, “Comments are closed.” Is there further disabling
   I can do to make that message go away?
 * For reference, see [http://www.iechefs.org](http://www.iechefs.org).
 * Thanks.

 * In ‘singlepost.php’ or ‘page.php’ or ‘singlepage.php’ look for ‘< ? php comments_template();?
   >’ many webmaster remove it to get rid from the problem you mentioned but still
   I wont recommend to do so, Instead of that I would like to place ‘/*’at the start
   and ‘*/’ at the end as shown below (comment it out)
 * /*< ? php comments_template(); ? >*/
 * So this code won’t work at all and you can restore it if required in future.
