    I cannot find anywhere to turn off Page comments. It is not on the individual page. The Screen options referenced above are not there, even for the main Dashboard page. I just set up a new site this morning and it is running on WordPress 3.1.1. I even tried installing a plug-in that is supposed to turn off page comments globally and it is working.

    This is only on the home page? The chronic pain page is correct?

    Yes, you are correct. I just noticed that.

    When you are in the dashboard and go to pages edit, scroll down to discustion and turn off allow comments.

    If you don’t have that option turn off all plugins, switch to the twentyten theme and see if you have that option.

    Thanks. I had tried that theme before with the same results. But, I did as you said. Turned off plug ins and used Twenty Ten 1.2. Same thing. Home page has Comments box. Chronic Pain doesn’t.

    There is no place on either theme on a Page to turn off Comments. This seems to be a WordPress general issue rather than related to theme.

    It’s theme specific. Most newer themes include comment-enabled page templates. You would need to create a custom page template and remove the link to <?php comments_template();?>.

    Thanks. I had actually done that to the Coraline theme based on the comments on the closed discussion. I guess that it didn’t affect the page that I had already created, but did affect the second one. I deleted the Home page and put it in again and now it’s fine. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Hi!

    I am having the same problem, using the Twenty Ten theme and a child theme… my check box is missing on the individual pages.
    I have tried turning off all the plugins and loading new pages, but the option is still not there. In previous sites that I created the checkbox option was always there, so I’m very confused!

    Normally this is such a simple thing, it’s very frustrating!

    Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you!

    Click Screen Options on the Edit Post/Page pages and tick the tabs that you want to be displayed.

    I’m found there is a difference between the option showing or not showing on the page based on who the user is… not sure why yet.

    Screen options are saved on a per user basis via a cookie.

    esmi – thank you!!!!!!

    That’s it. So simple, I just couldn’t find it.

    Thank you! Thank you!

    Glad I could help. ??
