  I ‘ m working on my About page and the “leave a comment” box is at the bottom. I don’t really want anyone to comment on my about page.

  In other words I want comments open on the home page for all my posts but not on the About page or some of my other pages.

  TIA

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

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  Thank you very much.

  Turns out the “Discussion” module check box was not selected in the settings when using “Edit Page”

  That’s often the case and you’re welcome. :)
