  hi there…
  I want my blog to have a web page appearance. I managed to remove comment boxes on pages and posts. But when pictures from my gallery are seen it still appears a comment and reblog boxes. How can I get ride of these?

  An other question… “Alt Text” text, should be separated by “,” or “-” ?

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Hello there,

  All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and 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.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. 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

  Oh no! I did it again. This is a CSS thread and I just noticed that. I apologize for posting here. Please be patient while waiting for another Volunteer or Staff to assist you. Does this help? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-comment-form-in-the-photo-gallery?replies=5#post-619673

  Thanks timethief for your help…
  I tried the solution given in the link you mention, but still having the same problem.
  I went to Settings —> Discussion Settings —> Default Article Settings and unchecked the box that says, “Allow people to post comments on new articles” then Saved the changes and finally created a new page.
  Gallery pictures in this new page still show the comment and reblog boxes.
  I also created a new post (instead of a new page), same problem.
  I tried also to disable “carousel slide show”… in this case it also appears a “like” icon!

  some more ideas?
  (and Thanks again!)

  This will hide the comment area and both the comment and reblog links when viewing the individual images:

  #jp-carousel-comment-form-container, .jp-carousel-commentlink, .jp-carousel-reblog {display:none;}

  You need to purchase the custom design upgrade in order to modify the CSS on your site. If you go to Appearance > Custom Design > CSS you can trial any changes first.
