Why are comments on posts going to my Gallery (pictures) page?
-
Why are all the comments coming in showing up under the “Gallery” page on my weblog instead of under the post? I do not know which post they are referring to in their comments. I use Firefox. Thanks. Patti Ann

Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments. We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/When you publish a post or a page with a gallery, the “attachment pages” created when clicking on the thumbnail images adopt your default Settings, rather than the options you select in the post or page editor. That means whatever you change in your Settings will apply to posts or pages you create after you’ve made that change: ie. it won’t affect already created posts or pages.
The only way to have gallery attachment pages with no comment field is to disable commenting in Settings > Discussion before creating gallery posts or pages, (and override it in the Discussion module of the post/page editor for posts/pages in which you do want to allow commenting).

P.S. Here’s a link to an excellent Gallery resource site created by another Volunteer. http://wp.me/p8gVp-L

They’re not referring to any post, because they are ready made spam messages. Once you let one of these pass, you’ll keep being flooded by the same kind of spam. You should go to Comments in your dashboard and mark them all as Spam.
