Comments appearing on registration page

  • Hi

    Please could someone tell me, has anyone else had this issue and knows what to do?

    I’m getting ALL comments being duplicated on my registration page on my site, despite that page having the comments option unchecked. It even says ‘no comments yet’ on the page, but still these duplicates appear, basically every comment ever made in response to an article or a directory post.

    Can anyone please help me?

    I found this post which may be related, but I’m not sure what code I need to edit or what to put to fit in with the mesocomumn theme; https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/comments-appearing-on-register-page?replies=17#post-6062676

    Would be great to get this fixed at last if anyone can help?

    Thanks

    open page.php and edit
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    to
    <?php if ( comments_open() ) { comments_template(); } ?>

    Thanks Richie

    I don’t have a page.php in my child theme, so do I literally copy everything in the page.php of the parent file, create a page.php in the child theme and copy all the contents into there, then amend that?

    Don’t worry, found out how to edit the page.php, followed the instructions, but comments still appearing. Do you have any other ideas?

    Thanks so much for the help!

    its working for me tho.

    @using child theme.
    just copy paste page.php from parent into child theme and edit the code in child theme.
    try clear your cache..

    Tried clearing the cache, still looks the same my end. When you visit the page, do the comments no longer appear your end?

    try delete the child theme->page.php and edit direct in parent theme instead.
