This site does not have an active blog and zero posts. But I recently got a “comment” – how does that happen?

I’ve since turned-off comments in settings > discussion but I’d like to understand how a comment happened previously.

Thanks for any info.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I even tried a comments plugin that was supposed to remove all elements related to comments, but that didn’t work either.

Now using Oxygen theme and trying to remove comments function from all posts and pages.
Fortunately, I could turn off comments function by “discussion” category at dashboard.
But after turning off “Allow people to post comments on new articles,” I can see “comments off on ○○○” on post pages.

I tried ‘Remove “Comments are closed”‘ plugin, but it doesn’t work for the word, “comments off.”
And also tried this:

I am not familiar with code so much.
If you know how to fix it, please help me.

I’ve tried to activate it manually in a post, but it is not this option available in Screen Options. I also tried a Quick Edit, but it is not available to enable comments on posts.

I’ve checked the single.php (the comments statement is in ‘true’). I have no idea how to solve this.

Any idea on how to enable my blog comments?

I would have expected that just adding this code to the child theme’s functions.php file would do it, as it effectively removes the printf statements that show the text I want to prevent from displaying:

<?php
if ( ! function_exists( ‘twentyten_posted_on’ ) ) ;
function twentyten_posted_on() {
}
?>
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( ‘twentyten_posted_in’ ) ) ;
function twentyten_posted_in() {
}
?>

No effect. Probably something obvious, but I don’t see it. TIA for your help!

Tried this too which I found on WP forums:

Settings >> Discussion >> uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles”

Still there?

Please can you help urgently – many thanks, A
