    Just uncheck the discussion and comment on the page you wish when you are on the page.

    hhmm..
    hope it's confusing :D

    Absolutely correct @Syimen.....

    Go to Admin Page
    Go To Setting
    Then Go To Discussion and then uncheck comment...
    You can adjust the setting based on page as well.

    I hope you mean the Individual pages as posts

    If so Edit your single.php of your theme file

    Then, delete the line

    For your existing pages, just go to each and click on Quick Edit. There is a check box on the right side named Allow Comments and just make sure there is no check mark in there.

    Actually there wasn't. This was my problem. However it would appear with the new version of WP that it is hidden by default until you change the screen settings, so done so now and all is ok.

    when you will go add new page then you will find screen option , help on top level .click screen option you will find discussion . cheek discussion box .then you will see discussion navigation below the page post box . here you will find it ... uncheek the Allow comments.
    if you do this correctly then i think your problem will solve :)

    Thanks !!!

    I had the similar need a while back.  Wanted to display comments on most pages, but not the contact page.

    On the wp-admin panel I went on to the theme editor, opened up comments.php and put this if statement at the top:

    <?php if (!is_page('contact')) : ?>
    Code (markup):
    and ending at the end of the page.

    <?php endif; ?>
    Code (markup):
    Seems to work fine.  There's probably other/better ways of doing it, but this works for me.

    Obviously replace 'contact' with whatever page you want to stop comments on.  Can be multiple separated by a comma also.

    When you make a page or edit it, under the post field there is tab called Discussion and there are two option right there, "Allow comments" and "Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page", you should uncheck "Allow comments" then you can press "Publish" or "Update" button.
