Deleting Leave a Reply feature and other social media stuff
-
Hello!
I’d be very grateful for any help with this. Thank you!
I don’t like the idea of people leaving any messages or feedback. I’ve tried to disable these in the settings but the Leave a Comment form still appears on my homepage. How can I delete all this? Also the Like/Dislike option. I’m not into these things and it might encourage trolls.
I’m using the basic Goran theme, I don’t wish to upgrade. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. Your visitors click the post tiles or the comment links or comment bubbles on the front page of the blog and they are directed to the full post appearing on it’s own page where the comment boxes appear at the end of the posts.
You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

Know that any logged in WordPress.COM/gravatar account holder can click the like button on their Admin bar and you cannot prevent them from doing so, nor can you remove their “likes” from your posts or pages.

I’ve finally managed to delete the pesky Leave a reply box from my homepage and other pages I’d already created. I went to pages, clicked all pages, clicked on quick edit and unchecked the allow comments box. Thank you.
