how do I turn off commenting on "pages"

every page has commenting enabled, I only want comments on posts, not pages. Thanks! http://citizenmediagroup.com

You need to open the Page editor for those pages and uncheck "Allow Comments" under the Discussion section.

for every page.... no option to do them all at once?

also I have no "discussion" section in the page editor....

At the top of your screen, you'll see a small box that says "Screen Options". Click that, and a menu will dropdown. Select to show the "Discussion" area.

ok... comments is NOT checked yet they still appear on the page.

Would you prefer to just hide the comment section using CSS for now (until a solution is found for why the comments are still showing up)?

sure.... sounds ok to me!

[catrina 103]

Okay, please add this CSS to your CSS rules box in the theme options:

#maincontent body.page div.commentform {display: none;}

that has no effect... not sure why.

Try:

.page .awpcomments, .page commentsform {display:none}

open the page you want to edit. at the very top of the screen you will see a grey tab that says "Screen Options." Click that, then make sure "Discussion" is checked. The discussion option box has a check box for "Allow comments."

When you create a page or post, you have the option then to allow comments and pings for that post/page. This is WordPress core functionality.
