Sounds like the issue is in the file: comments.php. If your current theme does not have this file, then it defaults to the default theme file for “comments.php, which means “twentyten”. So, in the themes folder, open “twentyten > comments.php”, and on line 72 delete the following:
<p class=”nocomments”><?php _e( ‘Comments are closed.’, ‘twentyten’ ); ?>l</p>
This is where that text is coming from. You do not want to delete any “wp-” files. Besides everytime you upgrade WordPress, those files will return, anyways. Hope this helps.

Hello everybody.
I know I’m missing something really easy but I’m not able to delete “comments are closed” (I’ve even tried to change the font color in order to match the background color) for the bottom of my pages.
I’ve searched the forum and found I should delete the “wp-comments.php” file which I did but the “comments are closed” is still there.
Can anyone, please, help me?
Thanks a lot,
Nirava
