Comments and RSS feed off

[Anne Maybus]

I want to use the site without the option for people to leave comments but I don’t want this bit to show

“No Comments

Subscribe to the RSS feed for comments on this post.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.”

Can you please tell me where I can find the code to remove those lines?

[Bill Robbins]

Good question. Here’s how to make the change.

1) Go to the appearance section of your WordPress control panel and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2) From the list of files on your right, choose index.php and look for this spot:

<?php comments_template(”,true); ?>

3) Delete it and save your changes.
4) Open up single-header.php and delete that line again.
5) Save your changes.
6) Open up single-no-header.php and delete that line one last time.
7) Save your changes.

Now references to comments will be removed from the theme.

Let me know if you need anything else.

What if we do want commenting available on 1 “page” named “blog”?

[Bill Robbins]

Jessica,

Generally on your blog page, the individual posts have the ability to place comments, but the blog page (the archive) you don’t display the comments section. The idea being you click through to the post to place comments on it instead of keeping the comments of several posts together on one page.

If you run into questions, let me know,

Ricky,

Good question. In one of the theme updates since this post was published, we changed the structure of this section. The spot to find this now is in single.php. You can delete:

<?php comments_template(”,true); ?>

and save your changes.

If you have any questions or trouble, let me know,
Bill

Hello Bill,

Thanks it is works, but also I need to delete this listed below was showing on top of post page.

“September 10, 2012 / by newcanto / Make A Comment / Filed under featured”

Please advice

[Bill Robbins]

Ricky,

You can do that. Back in the theme editor, open up single.php and look for this line:

<p class="post-meta"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> / <?php _e('by','organizedthemes'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> / <a href="#comments"><?php comments_number(__('Make A Comment','organizedthemes'), __('1 Comment','organizedthemes'), __('% Comments','organizedthemes')); ?></a> / <?php _e('Filed under','organizedthemes'); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?></p>

and delete it. You’ll also need to delete that line from index.php and archive.php too.

If you have any questions, let me know,
Bill
