I just went through this same issue. In the admin area, go to one of your pages and then in the top right corner there is a “screen options” button. Click that and it will drop down some extra page options. You can either uncheck the comments box OR check the discussion box. I recommend checking the discussion box because when you do, if you scroll down towards the bottom of the page you will see a new area called discussion and there will be two options you can check or uncheck. The first one is “allow comments” uncheck that one. The second, “allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page”, keep that one checked. That way people can link back to your page still and it helps with you SEO back links. You will have to do that for every page you want to remove comments on, not sure how to adjust the code so by default the comment section is automatically disabled. Hope that helps!

Hi guys,
I’m new to wordpress and this is the first time I’m making a wordpress web site. I used this raindrops theme on my site (as it looks super cool 🙂 ).
but now every page I add it automatically inserts the comments form.
even in the contact me page has a comment box (funny right 🙂 )
I tried to turn it off by unticking everything on settings–>discussion section but had no luck.
Can some one please point me how to achieve my goal?
thanks 🙂
