Sela theme: removing the "Leave a Comment" box
-
I would like my home page to use the Full Width Page Template. Is there a way to remove the LEAVE A REPLY box? Also, the word “Edit” always displays on this page. How do I remove it?
Thank you,
Joy :)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
This isn’t theme dependent. 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.

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

Also, the word “Edit” always displays on this page.
Your Readers do not have access to that link. There is an Admin link on posts and pages that only you as Admin and any Editors you have created can see when you are logged in. It’s for your convenience and your visitors cannot see it. You cannot remove it as it’s coded into the theme templates and we cannot edit templates or themes.
Also note that there will be auto-filled information in a contact form or a comment box but your information is visible to you when you are logged in and have not cleared your browser cache and cookies. No one else can see it.
When someone makes a comment on your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each others details.

I actually went through all these steps but it still seems to be there : /
perhaps I am crazy. -
I just clicked on “pages” from the WP Admin page on the lefthand side and then clicked on quick edit and then unticked the box next to “Allow Comments” and it removes the box from the pages. Which means people can still leave comments on my blog posts but not my pages. I hope this helps ..
