Remove comment section from new page

If you want to be rid of comments on your site, one option is to remove the code from your theme files.

You would need to search single.php, home.php, page.php, etc. within
wp-content/themes/*your-active-theme* and find:

<? php comments_template(); ?>

Remove that and the comments section should disappear.

NOTE: this change will be undone if you update the theme files. Modifying a child-theme is a much better practice.
