 * I found the section that supposedly tells you how to remove comments fields but
   they are already inactive and are still shown under the articles I have posted.
 * Is there another way to remove the comments and recent comments fields are is
   this based on the theme itself and cannot be removed?
 * Thanks,

 * Do you have a URL handy so we can all take a look? What happens when you try 
   to use your comment field?

 * – Where exactly you found the section?
 * – Have you disabled comments in Admin ==> editing/writing Posts?

 * jamesstrocel – url is saucesearch.com. (Home page is a mess right now while I
   am trying to figure this out – please ignore.)
 * t-p – I went to “post” to “screen options” and unchecked the “comments” box.
   
   I also did the same after going into “edit post”. Comments is unchecked here 
   too. This does not remove the comments field.
 * I need to remove comments from both my “home” page and “pages”.
 * Any ideas? Do I need a different theme.

 * t-p and jamesstrocel
 * I changed theme and was able to take care of my “removing-the-comments-field”.
   Comments are gone….whew.
 * Now I have to figure out how to add: “contact us”, “about” and “Privacy” fields
   to the bottom of my home page.

 * How can I do this in the 2010 Theme? I want my front page to be completely static..
   no comments or posting!

 * Hi there! I am extremely new to Word Press and was really struggling to remove
   all traces of Comments on my site (Twenty Ten theme). Even when the page displayed‘
   Comments Off’ I wanted to remove it but couldn’t. However, down to a little bit
   of trial and error I’ve figured it out.
 * All you need to do is go to Comments.php and REMOVE the following bit of code:
 *     ```
       <?php else : // or, if we don't have comments:
       	/* If there are no comments and comments are closed,
       	 * let's leave a little note, shall we?	 */
       	if ( ! comments_open() ) :?>
       	<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>
       <?php endif; // end ! comments_open() ?>
       <?php endif; // end have_comments() ?>
       <?php comment_form(); ?>
       </div><!-- #comments -->
       ```
   
 * _[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]_
 * When I removed this there was no sign of anything to do with Comments on any 
   of my pages.
 * Hoping this helps! 🙂
