   Hi Guys, new to Thematic, well done Ian this is a work of art.

   I have 0.9.7.7 Thematic installed, working very well. I can see from the page templates in Thematic they call for the comment template, and hence my child theme pages have comments. All the posts I have seen on the forum have been about page comments going missing, requiring the comment/comment custom field to enable them. In reverse how do I get rid of them for pages only, not posts?

   I can see that I could remove the call for the comments template in my child theme page templates, but is this the correct way to do it? Or have I missed something very simple here? Because that's happened before!

   i think this is what you are after:

   /* Remove Comments */
   function remove_comments(){
   if(is_page()){
   	remove_action('thematic_comments_template','thematic_include_comments',5);
   }
   }
   add_action('template_redirect','remove_comments');

   doing some more research on my own themes... i discovered you can kill the metabox bubbles for comments on the backend too... via remove_post_type_support

   /* Remove Comments */
   function remove_comments(){
   	if(is_page()){
   	remove_action('thematic_comments_template','thematic_include_comments',5);
   	}
   	remove_post_type_support( 'page', 'comments' ); //totally disable comments in backend
   }
   add_action('init','remove_comments');

   in my first reply i added the action to template_redirect. i often do that so i can get conditionals to work for is_page_template(), but to use remove_post_type support you have to add it to init

   Hi Helga, thank you for your help on this one. Tried both options, the latter one first but that didn't work for me. However the first option worked a treat, no comments. Is this normal to have comments on pages or have I missed something in the Docs?

   Can't thank you enough.
