Not everyone would like to have a 'Leave a Reply' box in all their pages especially in their homepage. Actually I don't really like it in the homepage and in the Privacy Policy p
Got your PM, thanks. Further down Rachel-uk mentions the same problem.
After "Leave A Reply" and the grey comments box it says:
you may use these HTML tags and attributes:
.
There's no CAPTCHA either.
Do you have the SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam plugin installed and activated? This is what gives your site a CAPTCHA on each page.
Also, there is a plugin that I used to remove the part "you may use these HTML tags and attributes:
.". It is the Remove Comment Notes Plugin.
UPDATE: I logged out of admin and into Liz (in role of 'None') and did a test post, and the CAPTCHA is now there but my post was not sent for approval the way I have it set up. :-(

Thank you, the Remove Comments plugin worked!
I have the CAPTCHA anti-spam plugin installed as well as ASKIMET which I deactivated to see if it conflicted but it did not. I'm not going to have registration or login right now so I don't really need CAPTCHA for now, I guess.
I do have "Comment must be manually approved" so I tried a test post but it posted automatically. Is it because I'm the admin?
Tell you what, I can troubleshoot with you on this. Let me know what your site is and I'll leave a couple test comments.
Also, I use the plugin "Antispam Bee" which works (imo) BETTER than Akismet. About halfway through October, I began to get 20 spam comments a day. I tried adding the IP addresses and email addresses to my whitelist to block them, but they kept coming. Finally after dealing with it for 2 weeks, I asked the WA community. One fellow suggested a list of 10. I'm about due to try out the second one on that list, but so far, I REALLY like Antispam Bee.
I was able to fix things myself. I didn't have all the CAPTCHA settings set correctly. You are very kind to help out! Hope I can call on you again if I need to. :-) I'll definitely keep Antispam Bee on my list of anti-spam goodies if spam turns out to be a real problem. Thanks so much!
You're welcome. At some point this month, I'll do a write-up of the plugins I do have and why I like to use them.
Much appreciated, but do you have any idea how to keep the Quick Edit page on screen?
As soon as I click it, it shows the Quick Edit page then immediately jumps to the full Edit page which doesn't have the option to remove the Comment box.
Yeah, if you are an administrator it does this. That is their version of a Quick Edit funny enough.
Strange one. I managed to get it to stay open long enough for me to update it in the end by switching from Firefox to IE.
Firstborn, thanks so much. Something I've been wanting to do, and now I have. As with many things, so easy once you know how.

Yeah, there definitely cases where you are not going to want to allow people to leave comments on your site, although anywhere you want to have user engagement you should make sure comments are on. Nice walk through here.
Hi Kyle, could you help me? In my 'Leave a Reply' section, under the 'comment' textbox, it appears a string of strange text as this "You may use these HTML tags and attributes:
" and I don't know how to fix it. I look up the coding on my page, but I can't find anywhere has a code like that.
Yes, this! How do you edit the way your Reply To displays? I hope I don't have to upgrade my theme. :-/
The way your comments are displayed is theme dependent unfortunately. You can definitely manipulate this by messing around with the code, but that is not something I typically recommend in the early stages of a website.
