  Default Article Settings

  In the Default article settings, there are three options. These settings are defaults for new posts or pages, which can always be changed individually on each article. This first two options deal with pingbacks and trackbacks. The first determines if your blog will send out pings and trackbacks to other blogs when you publish articles. The second determines if your blog will accept pings and trackbacks from other blogs. The third option allows you to enable or disable comments by default.

  @johnbrennanlive: again, whether to allow comments, do what I told you.

  And again, the appearance depends on the theme you use.

  One more thing: on that page you have a contact form.
  Delete it.

  Yes, thanks for that.

  I only enabled it very recently. Hokkieh showed me how.

  To enable comments for an existing page, edit that page in the classic dashboard (WP-Admin dashboard ->Pages ->All Pages -> Quick Edit) and check the box next to Allow Comments: http://snag.gy/CLy7k.jpg Update the page.

  Thanks for your reply all the same. We can now close this topic.
