I can’t believe I am actually providing advice on something!

All that should be required is for you to place a widget of your own in that right bar.

If you don’t want anything there at all, just go to “widgets”, then choose the “text” option, and then leave the text box blank.

Update your page and when you go to it, the right side should be blankity, blank, blank!

Let me know if that works for you.

Oooh boy, that looks a little scary at first glance. But I’ll take my time and try and work through it.

I like how everything associated with WordPress is deemed to be “Very simple”

“Making a child theme is very simple”

I haven’t found much with WordPress to be simple yet!

Thanks for those links. I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks again.

I added a calendar widget and as you predicted, all that text at the bottom of my page disappeared.

I’ll get WordPress figured out yet….

Okay, so I got rid of the Leave a Reply box, but now I have this:

Where did that come from? And how do I get rid of it?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Hello Aaron,

Thanks for your reply, but I started a new thread and was provided with the solution here:

Thanks again though.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It worked!

For anybody else who needs to benefit from this post, let me tell you a couple of things that are probably obvious to anyone who has any idea about what they are doing.

Yesterday was my first day with any form of website building at all, and I knew/know next to nothing.

So the first thing is that if you want to get rid of the “Leave a Reply” box on WordPress, you don’t remove it from the WordPress site. You did it from your ?host? site.

I am using iPage as my host site.

I tried going through the FTP page that iPage provides, but when I clicked on that icon I was directed to change my password. I tried that a few times but just got more confused and nowhere.

Beside the FTP icon on iPage is “File Manager”. Click on this.

Open WP-Conten
Open WP-Themes
Open your theme – in my case it was Twenty Ten
Then find the loop attachments as noted in the previous forum post.

You’ll find ‘comments_template’ right near the very bottom of all the text.

Thanks again to TribalNerd for the advice.

I went around in circles for about 4 hours yesterday. With TribalNerd’s help, it took me less than 10 minutes.

I still don’t understand why WordPress doesn’t have a checkbox for “Include Leave A Reply” on this page?

How hard can that be????

Did you ever figure this out?

I’m having the same problem. It seems kind of silly that something that should be this easy is so hard.
