 * Hi, I have disabled the comment in my wordpress blog.
 * However while no one can comment, they still see a rectangular with the text “
   Comments are closed.”.
 * How can I remove this rectangular with together with the message “Comments are
   closed.”?
 * I mean totally get rid of it.

 * this will depend on your theme – pleas post more details such as the name of 
   your theme and a link to your site.
 * possibly search the templates single.php and page.php for ‘comments_template()’
   and remove this code (?)

 * **Thank you very much for your response.**
 * My theme is Piano Black.
 * But I didn’t found any of the files (single.php and page.php) any comments_template()
   string.
 * So what do I need in theme to change in order to remove the comment section.

 * look again.
 * in page.php, single.php:
 *     ```
       <?php if (function_exists('wp_list_comments')) { comments_template('', true); } else { comments_template(); } ?>
       ```
   
 * there are more page-…php templates you might need to check
