    I don’t want testimonials on my blog, how do I remove the testimonials area? I am using the theme called Canape. Thanks!

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

    Hi,

    A testimonial is a content type, and it has an editor, just like pages, posts, and portfolio projects do. If you go to the testimonial https://tyossaoppiminenmaltalla.wordpress.com/testimonial/, you should find an edit tab which will open the testimonial editor. There you may send it to trash. You may also open the testimonial editor from My Site(s) where Testimonials is below Pages in the sidebar admin menu.

    On a test site with the Canape theme activated, in the absence of a published testimonial, I found this message on the static front page:

    No Testimonials Found

    This section will display your latest testimonials. It can can be disabled via the Customizer.
    Ready to publish your first testimonial? Get started here.

    However, I found no way to disable the display of this message, or to disable the display of testimonials (when one was published as a test) on the front page, in the Customizer. You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention.

    After thinking about this awhile, it occurred to me that the message may be only visible to a site administrator. When logged out, I find that the “No Testimonials Found” message does not appear. So it is possible to remove the testimonials section on a static front page.

    However, I still find no way to disable the display of published testimonials on the static front page, either at Customize or anywhere else.

    Perhaps editors as well?

  • Hi there,

    As @musicdoc1 indicated, you can disable this from the Customizer.

    Click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Click on Theme Options ->Front Page. You’ll find the option there:

    Thanks kokkieh,

    Guess I hadn’t looked very hard. I see it now.

  • This is one of the more complicated themes, so easy to miss :)
