@MrFortywata If you want the default (You can always turn a single page's comments back on) to be No Comments then in your WP-Admin dashboard go to Settings/Discussion. Uncheck next to "Allow people to post comments on new articles"
Thankyou so much for helping! I also couldn't see my discussion box and then when you said view upper right 'Screen Options' to click Discussion to make it appear - well that fixed everything! THANKS. :p
When in your Admin screen look in the upper-right for "Screen Options" Click on it and see if DISCUSSION is checked. If it is Not checked you will not see the box for Allow Comments or Allow Trackbacks.
Thanks for the video, I'm using the MistyLook theme and for some reason when I go to edit a page there are no "Discussion"or "Page Revisions" tabs. Would you know why ? Thanks in advance.
@babibump Yes they can see that. You would have to edit whichever file in your theme's directory controls the display of that page such as archive.php. Its different for each theme.
You are the MAN...I've been trying to figure that out for the longest time.
