  I have an unwanted search box on my home page. I would also like to add some share/like.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I already have a static front page. There is an unrequired search box on it. How do I get rid of it?

  Are you referring to http://sandraboyle.wordpress.com/ ?
  That site is empty, no posts, no pages.

  There is an unrequired search box on it

  That’s is the 404 error:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/

  You need to publish posts or edit and publish the front page.

  There is a ‘Leave a Reply’ box on the bottom of some of my pages (I think I have published them now!). How do I get rid of this please?

  When you edit each page, on the right are your options. Scroll to the bottom of the options, and you’ll see the category “Discussion”, where you can uncheck the box “Allow Comments”

  The only options that I am offered are ‘Page Attributes’ and ‘Featured Image’.

  Under “Featured Image” should be “Advanced Settings” that expands with some options.

  You don’t have that?

  Are you trying to edit the blog page in question? I just want to make sure we’re on the same page.
