how do I get rid of comment form…

The slideshow probably is using the image attachment page, which means you would need to edit the attachment template file to not show comments: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Hierarchy#Attachment_display

Thanks for the link for help on this. I’m a newer than newbie. I’m not sure what to do with the info given. How do I shut the ability for a comment off all together? Thanks in advance. This is issue is causing me alot of spammy comments. Should I turn off the trackbacks and pingbacks on the page also?
