  Hi, on my wordpress-site http://mkphotographx.wordpress.com/about/ I want to disable the comment function. Actually it is possible to leave comments on this site. I will prefer to leave comments only on the guestbook-site. I tried the suggestions in the support-site, but it didn’t work. Thx for answering. Kind regards, Matthias

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

  When you say that you have “I tried the suggestions in the support-site, but it didn’t work.” do you mean the instructions here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

  & here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  Can you tell me what exactly you did and what didn’t work?

  Please keep in mind that if you turn off comments for your whole site, that wetting will only apply to pages and posts created after you make that change. Comments on previously created pages/posts will need to be manually turned off using the instructions in the first link above.

  Hi rootjosh,

  I did the explained steps in both of the comment links. But there is still a comment box in the “about-site”. In the Discussion module, there are no ticks for comments.

  Regards, Matthias

  Hi rootjosh,
  perhaps, you can help me in this case ;-)

  I want to display images in posts on my start screen/home-site. In the support I find the following:

  “If no featured image is assigned, Hatch will attempt to pull the first attached image in your post. If no image is attached, the theme displays a light gray placeholder.”

  I didn’t fix a featured image. The problem is, that Hatch didn’t attempt to pull the attached image in the post in my home-screen. I only see the grey placeholder, but there are still images (one) in my posts.

  Kind regards, Matthias

  It could be because those iamges are not attached to their respective posts:

  https://mkphotographx.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  Click on “attach” and associate the image with the post where it should go.

  You might also consider just using the featured image system. I ended up finding it easier to just do that on my photography site.
