Delete Comment section
-
I need someone to tell me step by step instructions on removing the comments section entirely from the whole site. I do not want the comment section or category section or anything to show on posts or pages. I do not know code and need a simple explanation of even getting to the correct page to do this. I am using rusty grunge.
Thanks

I appreciate your reply, but I don’t have any of the boxes checked and I still have a box under the post that says “comments off” “posted in____” etc. I would like these not to show so it looks more like a website. Any tips on how to get rid of that?

I found the following and it might be helpful if I can just be guided to know where the template folder can be found. As I said I am very new to this! I appreciate any help!
I did it so…:
in my template folder …wp-content/themes/K2
edit CSS file…
where there was something about comments, feeds, rss, and rest of stuff I wanted to hide… I simply add:
display:none;
eg.: .comments {
text-align: left;
margin: 30px 0 0;
position: relative;
display:none;}

Hi there,
In order to make changes to your CSS, you’d need to use the Custom Design upgrade. This allows you to customize your theme, change layout and colors, hide unwanted elements, and more. However, this does require at least some basic experience with CSS and HTML.
To learn more about the upgrade, see here:

Ok, that explains why I cannot find the pages and files that people are talking about. Are there any templates that do not automatically show a comments section? Maybe if I switched it would solve my problem.

Most, if not all, themes will show text indicating that comments are off.
Your best bet would be to try the Custom Design upgrade to hide this element, and make any other changes to your site’s appearance.

Please keep in mind that you still have comments enabled for some of your pages, such as:

Thanks! I got rid of all of the comments sections now. I just don’t like the posts showing that box. Something I am going to have to live with I guess. Thank you for taking the time to help out!
