 * This subject has so many posts you’d think WP would just create a single option
   in the admin and make it simple.
 * That said, I have spent 4 hours trying to remove the “Leave a Reply” from my 
   theme. I’ve edited the comments.php file and get a parsing error. I do not have
   a loop.php file.
 * I’ve installed dozens of WP themes and all I used to do was uncheck “Allow Comments”
   in the admin Discussion Settings link, and it was gone. WP still has that option
   only it is not working. Not a caching issue.
 * Site is.. [http://futuremetrics.info](http://futuremetrics.info)
 * At this point I’m desperate to fix before Friday. Any help and guidance is greatly
   appreciated.

 * Since that’s an Artisteer theme, you should be asking them for help if it’s not
   working correctly. Their themes are not supported here.
 * That said, possibly use CSS to hide it:
 *     ```
       #respond {
          display: none;
       }
       ```

 * If it’s an Artisteer 3.1 or 4.1 theme, then:
 * Appearance > Theme Options > Comments > Allow Comments > uncheck and then don’t
   forget to Save 🙂

 * Thanks. [@2ninerniner2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2ninerniner2/)
    There
   is no option for that. Only option under COMMENTS is to show or not show smilies.
   Everything related to comments is turned off.

 * PERFECTO. Found it in the style.css (line 1956).
 * I knew in the back of my mind the solution was simple and I was reading WAY too
   much into it.
 * Thanks.
 * RESOLVED.
