Wahoo! That did it. Thanks!
oh, my mistake, i see you are referring to a different page – I’ll check.
The second to last line is: <?php comments_template(); ?> and that is the one I deleted. I don’t see any other occurrences of the word comments in that file.
I’m using template twentyten. Found <?php comments_template(); ?> in loop-attachment.php only. Removed, but The comment section remains. Help!
