Guys, why are you messing around with code? This is wordpress, its never that difficult, the hard stuff has already been done for you.
Aron has already told you how to do this i a previous post. When you remove it in settings/discussions it only affects new post and pages. So you have to remove it from already published posts and pages by doing what Nell says:
“I was trying to find this out for the Twenty Eleven theme and came across the solution by accident. You don’t need to amend code, at least not in this theme.
– Go to the PAGE in question and select edit
– At top right in edit mode there is a small box called ‘screen options’
– Checkmark the Discussion box
– Scroll down to bottom of the page
– Uncheck both ‘Allow comments’ and ‘Allow trackbacks…’
– Update the PAGE
You will need to do this for each individual page.”
