  I am trying to use WordPress for a combination website and blog. Currently, a Comments box appears on all my pages. How can I remove the Comments box from all my (intended-to-be) static website pages and instead have the Comments box appear only on my blog page? Btw, I am using the Twenty Eleven theme with no sidebars on the static pages, and one sidebar on the blog page.

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

  Edit the Page – page down a bit and there will be a box to turn off the comments for that page – don’t know if you can turn off comments on Pages and leave them on for Posts.

  To auxclass: on Edit Page, I have a checkbox for “show sharing buttons on this post” but no box to turn off Comments.

  While on that page, click Screen Options (top right) to activate the Discussion module.
