  I purchased the custom design upgrade so that I could edit my code (I have the Chunk theme). But when I go into the CSS part of custom design – I’ve tried to paste the style sheet in there. When I do so, my website looks different and my follow bottoms at the top are gone. Why is it doing this, and if I can’t edit my code that way how am I supposed to do it?! Ultimately I want to be able to remove the “leave a comment” on the left side of my pages on all pages except the blog. Is this possible and if so please tell me how. I’m paying for this upgrade so I would like it to actually work or I want to cancel it. I have gotten the stylesheet just from going to view source while on my websites homepage. Am I going about that the wrong way?
  At this point I’m scared to try anything because I’m afraid my website will get messed up again. So please get back to me as soon as you can. I could not find a support phone number on the site but if there’s a number I can call please let me know. My number is 309-838-0385

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Currently, we don’t provide support over the phone, but I’m happy to help you with this here!

  If you’re just trying to edit a handful of items on your site, you don’t need to copy and paste the stylesheet into the CSS editor. Instead, you can just add the elements you want to adjust. For example, placing the following code in the CSS editor will turn your site title white (just to demo how it works):

  h1#site-title a {
  	color: #fff;
  }

  You don’t need to place all CSS elements into the box, just the ones you want to adjust.

  As for removing the “Leave a comment” link from your pages, the easiest way to do that would be to disable comments on pages as described here:

  Disabling the comments on your pages will remove the “Leave a comment” link. Can you give that a try?

  I tried doing what you said with the comments. For some reason (maybe it’s my theme) when I uncheck that box and save that setting, it automatically rechecks it. The leave a comment stays on the page and I can’t remove it that way.

  Hey Molly,

  It seems to be sticking on my side. I tested on this page for example:

  https://mollymcnamee.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit&message=1

  The Discussion Settings that control the comment field for that particular page are hidden underneath the Screen Options as explained here:

  Screen Options

  When I check the field for Discussion Settings, uncheck the “Allow Comments” option and update the page, the settings are saved. Can you give this one last try?

  Interesting… It did work for you and now my home page does not have the comments but when I try exactly what you said it doesn’t work for me. I’ve unchecked comments on my pages under screen options but the comment sections still show. Did you do anything different than that?
