Making the ability to comment disappear
-
Hello, I have tried to uncheck the “allow comments” box, but I still see the ability to comment on my homepage:
How can I completely disable commenting permanently, as well as the TIME STAMP.
Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You must be logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog in question.
All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion
Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/Any existing posts or pages will need to have comments disabled manually via editing. You can use the bulk edit feature in the all posts and all pages screen to make that quicker.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/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

as well as the TIME STAMP
You will have to purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade and do the required CSS editing.

Important note: CSS editing is theme dependent. In some themes, meta data elements such as dates, times, categories and/or tags, author, date, and perhaps even the “leave a comment” link cannot be hidden independently, as they are in the same selector as all the other meta data elements, which means if you hide one, then you hide them all.
