    You have to search for that tag on the comments.php file, or you can disable the comments from the single.php just look for the code comments_template() and replace that line with //comments_template()

    That will deactivate comments function, if you want it back just remove the 2 slashes.

    Or just open the database my PHPMyAdmin and delete comments from the WP_Comments table.

        You can turn off display of comments in you your user.css file.

        I avoid changing Wordpress or theme code as the changes will be wiped out with any updates to WP or your theme.

        In addition, screw up your php code and your life may be very interesting very quickly.

    I still think the comment out "//" solution is the simplest... see reply #2.

    thanks guys.

    i removed the following code from comments.php and it worked:

    <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

    <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->

    <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
    <!-- If comments are closed. -->
    <p class="nocomments"><?php _e('Comments are closed', 'default'); ?>.</p>

    <?php endif; ?>

    There's a plug in called "no comments on pages". That gets rid of every comment on every page.
