Disable Request for Comment

You can delete the comments from your template files, or uncheck “Allow Comments” from the page/post editor.

If you’re not sure how to delete the comments from your template files, post the code from your page.php file and someone will let you know what needs to be removed.

Where does one find ‘page/post editor?

I have already unchecked Allow Comments, but the boxes after my posts still show up with the option to click “Be the first to comment – What do you think?” Then when you click it, it states no comments allowed. My question is, is there a way to get rid of the “Be the first to comment – What do you think?” statement?

If you want all commenting gone, you’ll have to edit some theme files. index.php, page.php, single.php, etc. Which files depend on what files your theme uses, but you can go through them and delete the appropriate lines from all them.

You are just looking for a bit of code that reference comment popup template, or something similar like
<?php comments_popup_link('ADD COMMENTS', '1 COMMENT', '% COMMENTS'); ?>
or
<?php comments_template(); ?>

you’r will look a bit different, but this is the general idea

Ok, I found that under Theme folder under content folder (Heatmap Theme) But after deleting it, It still shows up. Is it not the right place?

depends…your theme uses multiple files for displaying content, usually:
index.php is your blog post page
page.php is single pages
single.php is individual posts

and there could be others depending on your theme

You have to delete that code from each applicable template file within the theme

Thanks… with your direction I found it. I found the single version and the page version, but it was not in index. After searching some more I found it in a common.php Exactly what I was looking to do, thanks.
