 * If I can’t get rid of this I have to start using some other CMS,
 * I thought it was my theme cold blue revolution theme. I tried to make post on
   the Twenty Ten, same thing ‘leave a comment’..argggggggge I don’t allow comments.
 * I tried both the settings not allowing comments.
 * When I make a post I uncheck if it appears in screen options. When I click send
   there it is ‘leave a comment’, no matter what theme I use.
 * On katecorner this does not happen and I am on the latest version.
 * So I updated and my new wp but *~*
 * Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment | Edit
 * So nothing is preventing that message.
 * But why on wp and not another. I have been trying this for four days and I am
   now at my wits end and ready to leave wp for something else.
 * Every new version brings another problem. The admin menu bar was a nightmare 
   for some.
 * Thanks

 * from this remark, it is not clear what and where you actually ticked a box:
 * ‘screen options’ is only to show/hide the actual ‘discussion’ field below the
   post/page editor.
 * to allow/disallow comments, you have to tick the boxes in this ‘discussion’ field.

 * Hya,
 * At the end of the posts there used to be ‘allow trackback’ allow comments, thats
   not there any more.
 * I have done everything to eliminate the words but its not happening but why when
   one older WP is not leaving a comment, same version the new install of WP does.
 * I have said no comments, I dropped down the screen options. In my old WP katecorner
   I need do nothing else once no comments have been setup.
 * Thanks anyway alcymyth. Nobody can do anything, its all done what can be done
   as far as it goes, unless a comments.php file can be edited.
 * Thanks very much for your reply.
 * Ok, I found where the allow comments is via screen options. I can try a new post
   showing that but its already not ticked in my earlier new post so I don’#t know
   if it will work in a new one..going to see what happens now.

 * you can check all template files, and remove any code related to comments;
 * the most common are:
    `comments_template()` (in single.php, page.php, loop.php…)
   and `comments_popup_link()` (in index.php, archive.php, loop.php …)

 * I have tried two themes and they are both the same ‘leave a comment’.
 * At the moment its on Twenty Ten..default.
 * On cold blue theme I have removed comment.php and in the three styles, took all
   the comments from the style sheets. Any code that has comment has also been removed.
 * I should not have this problem. Everything is available to prevent comments without
   touching any code.
 * In the screen options comments is not available to prevent comments every post
   but in any event I have said no comments in settings.

 * Okay, let’s start there. Where _specifically_ are you seeing:
 *     ```
       Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment | Edit
       ```
   
 * On the blog posts index? On the single post view? On an archive index?
 * In “loop.php”, look for this code:
 *     ```
       <span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
       ```
   
 * I believe that is the source of the text you’re wanting to remove.

 * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leave-a-comment-3/#post-2022376)
 * Note: you will need to remove/modify that code in several places in “loop.php”.
 * Here:
 *     ```
       <?php /* How to display posts of the Gallery format. The gallery category is the old way. */ ?>
   
       	<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_post_format' ) && 'gallery' == get_post_format( $post->ID ) ) :
       ```
   
 * Here:
 *     ```
       <?php /* How to display posts of the Aside format. The asides category is the old way. */ ?>
   
       	<?php elseif ( ( function_exists( 'get_post_format' ) && 'aside' == get_post_format( $post->ID ) ) || in_category( _x( 'asides', 'asides category slug', 'twentyten' ) )  ) :
       ```
   
 * Here:
 *     ```
       <?php /* How to display all other posts. */ ?>
   
       	<?php else : ?>
       ```
   
 * Look in the code for each one of those conditionals, and find the `comments_popup_link()`
   function.

 * again – the ‘screen options’ **do not control the comments **–
    they only control
   the visibility of the ‘discussion’ field below the post/page editor (on the ‘
   edit post’ or ‘edit page’ page).

   twentyten’ ), __( ‘1 Comment’, ‘twentyten’ ), __( ‘% Comments’, ‘twentyten’ ));?

 * Chip the leave a comment is on the blog post . The page where after you click
   publish you go to look at what you wrote.
 * alchymyth; we were thinking that we had to uncheck there in screen options to
   rectify the comment.
 * I *will be back tomorrow…hopefully with a result.
 * Thanks very much both of you. I really am grateful for your valuble help.

 * Looking at the screenshot, thats what I had been used to before the new version,
   now its missing when you make a new post.
 * So in screen options what there is is discussion, you tick that and your option
   to allow comes into view.
 * At that point there is no comments in the screen options to tick/untick.The allow/
   disallow comments does not work on the new install of WordPress.
 * On katecorner WP its not a problem.
