Thanks so much! When I went to the screen options menu, the comment box was not checked, even though comment box appeared anyway. I turned off comments in settings and still they appeared. But when I unchecked the comment box under QuickEdit they went away.
And thanks for pointing out WordPress themes I knew nothing about.
You’ve been very prompt and helpful. Let me know if there is anywhere I can go to give you a review. I’d give you an excellent review.
