Hello there,
By default the front page of your blog is the page that all published posts display on in reverse chronological order ie. most recent on top.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.

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

Hi,
Thanks for sending this but I have tried everything, all the boxes are unticked in the Discussion area. There doesn’t appear to be an option ‘Allow comments’ so I can’t uncheck that, and it seems that the bottom of the form has a permanent Comment Form area and a Leave a Reply box, neither of which has an option to delete. Am I using an old version of WordPress?

This has nothing whatsoever to do with older versions. WordPress.com blogs are running on the latest version. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Hi there!
If you edit the post here:
https://smugglerscottage.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=70&action=edit
Look at top right and click on the “Screen Options” tab. In the slide down screen, check the box beside “Comments” and click on “Screen Options” once again to slide it back up.
Then, scroll down a bit to the bottom of the page and find the checkbox next to “Allow comments.”. Simply uncheck it and click the blue “Update” button to save changes.

That should take care of the comments box. Cheers!

Sorted! Thankyou Druesome and Timethief! I assumed that unchecking the boxes in the Screen Options would do this, now I know.
