   working.

 * Hello,
 * not sure which template you are using, but if you go into the `Page Template.
   php` file, there will be some code relating to “comments_template(), or comments_open(),
   or something along those lines with a function relating to “comments”
 * when you do find that part, simply comment out the code and it should work 🙂

 * Not sure why you want to comment out the code when you can simply disable comments
   site wide.

 * I’m sorry lol, I’m quite to to WordPress myself.
    I didn’t even know you could
   do that! That’s a much better idea, don’t touch the code if you don’t have to
   lol.
 * Thanks you sir, great tip for future reference.

 * Actually I like to completely remove the comment section.

 * You can do that by [creating and activating a child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and editing a copy of the right file.
 * But before you do that you may want to consider using a plugin to disable all
   comments.
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=disable+all+comments](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=disable+all+comments)
 * It’s an easier thing to do IMHO. That way you don’t have to maintain that child
   theme when updates happen to the parent theme.
