How would I know if my theme allows it?

If I did, would they show in the Widgets page? If yes, I haven’t any widgets in the right sidebar.

I didn’t try that because I think that when you do that you lose all the existing stuff in the right sidebar. Am I not correct about that?

I commented out this PHP code:

// <?php comments_template(); ?>

which was within this code:

<?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this page’,'<p>’,'</p>’); ?>
// <?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

After saving it and viewing the page the code’s on, the comment boxes didn’t appear but the “//” did in their place.

Any idea why?

Sorry Moshu. I missed that “you need both the default (page.php) template AND another one to be present in the theme folder for that feature to appear.” Thanks for restating it.

I see it in v.2.3 but it’s not on my Write page in version 2.2.1.

Thank you. This was quite helpful.

It seems to be that all I have to do is to remove this line:
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

Then, change the name of my page template to, say, contact, and save it under that name.

Finally, above my contact page template’s code, add this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Contact
*/
?>

Is that correct?

In WP 2.2, on Manage Pages, I don’t see how to select the new template for your Contact Page. How would I do that?

I switched to wp-contactform, and now my contact form’s working. Plus this plug-in is easier to use.

I just installed dagondesign’s contact form on WP 2.2. It does not display correctly, as you can see here. Anyone know how I can get it to appear immediately below the page title?

Shadow,

So can I also then use it to back up my WordPress posts and then, later, if I need to, restore them to my WordPress blog (which is not on WordPress.com)?

Okay, I got it to work. Thanks.

I put this content in a post:
This is a test post.
<table>
<tr>
<td>cell1</td>
<td>cell2</td>
<td>cell3</td>
</tr>
</table>
This post includes a table.

I added this to my style.css:
#content table {border:1px solid #000;}

However, when my table displays, there’s no border.

What else do I need to do?

If I wanted to style the table, where I put the CSS code to style it?
