________________
Note 1: When comments have been posted, “tab/message” means other than the heading of the actual comment section.
Note 2: I test the themes by disabling commenting in the Discussion module of the post editor, not in Settings > Discussion; some themes may display a different tab if you do the latter.
Thanks so much for your visit to my blog and the information you provided. All the best.
