New Artisteer Version Page Issues

One thing  we found with the new Artisteer version 2.3  is that by default Pages allow comments.  You can disable allowing comments when you create your page but then you still get the “Comments are closed” notice at the bottom of the page.  What we do is create a new page template  by copying the “page.php” file and renaming it “page-comments.php” .  You have to add the following code to the top of the new page-comments.php file.

<?php  /*  Template Name: Page Comments  */  ?>

Then we edit the “page.php” file and remove the following line.

<?php comments_template(); ?>

So now your default page template has no comments at all, and if you want a page to have comments you just select your new page-comments template when creating your page.  We do this with many other themes also.  Not only Artisteer.
