WordPress Development Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for WordPress developers and administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I 've been scouting around for answers on creating static pages (that means NO BLOG POSTS of any kind) on pages where you don't want ANYTHING that looks blog related, (posts, leave a comment, date created, etc.) Think of pages like Contact Us, About Us, Bio, etc.

The closest thing I could find is changing your homepage to static in the Reading Settings (and even that didn't do the trick!)

I don't know if this matters, but I'm using Son of Blue theme. I don't understand much about coding, so if there is a line of code that needs to be changed/updated, please be very specific..

Try searching the WPORG Theme Repository for a Theme updated sometime since Fall 2010 or so. The Theme Review Guidelines require that Pages not display time-related content (such as Post Date/Time stamp), and that Pages not display "comments are closed" type messages on Pages with comments disabled.

The Son of Blue Theme was last updated in May 2010, which means that it may not meet the current Theme Review Guidelines.

You don't want it to look "bloggy"?

I'd suggest just commenting out the comments tag in single.php.

In your single.php file, find where it says:

<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

And change it to:

<?php // comments_template( '', true ); ?>

That could be a start and anytime you want your comments back just delete those two forward slashes.
