Hello Support,

Comments are not theme related, they are wordpress related. You can also very easily use google and answer your own question in a matter of seconds.

I am having the same issue. I have also done everything posted in the tutorial mentioned by Zed.

Comments are disabled globally, in the theme settings, and on the page options. Despite having all of the comment settings turned off, they still show up on each of my pages on the (using Parabola theme). I haven’t noticed this issue till now and since I recently updated I’m wondering if this is an update issue? I had thought of deleting comments.php in the editor but I am wary as to the long term effects that might have on the theme template.

Any assistance would be a great help.

You also need to turn off comments for all content (pages and posts) that was previously published while the comments were active.
General settings only apply to content that you will publish from now on.

Comments were previously disabled and no pages or posts were created with comments enabled originally. Only one comment managed to be posted between the time the field was somehow activated and now. I have since permanently deleted it and no comments remain on the site at all. I have double checked all of the pages and none of them have comments activated in the screen options.

I may have narrowed down the issue to conflict with a plugin: Flickr Photostream. On a whim I copied the code out of “theme-comments.php” and deleted its contents. When I reloaded the pages I had open one of two things would happen, the load would freeze and continue to attempt to connect indefinitely or I would receive a CURL error which mentioned the Flickr API. This only happens on pages where I currently have the plugin’s shortcode pasted in for photosets. What’s strange however is that the comments field appears on multiple pages including those which do not include those shortcodes. Stranger still, the comments field is still visible when the plugin is deactivated (but still installed). These may be two separate and unrelated issues, however.

The received error is: CURL error: “Failed to connect to api.flickr.com port 443: Connection refused”
