  I’ve just switched to displaying with a gallery but need it to have no comments or reblogging abilities. How can I do this? I’ve already unchecked everything I can in the DIscussion bit.

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

  Hello, Yes please. Here’s an example, http://theresaharold.com/fashion/

  But to be honest the problem of being able to reblog and comment is on all my gallery pages :( As it is a personal portfolio, I hope you can understand that I wouldn’t want those capabilities. Thanks

  Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. :)

  To turn off comments/likes/sharing:

  1. Go to Media>Library and click on the image you want to hide these on
  2. Click on the Screen Options tab in the upper right, and make sure there are checkboxes next to Likes and Shares and Discussions as shown here: https://cloudup.com/c0gwdNGjVi8
  3. Click on the Screen Options tab again to hide the options, and then scroll down on the Edit Media page until you see both of those settings boxes
  4. Make sure to uncheck the options, as shown here: https://cloudup.com/cTYXo5NZBFl
  5. Click the blue Update button to save your changes

  Note that you will need to do this for each media item you wish to disable these on.

  There is no setting to remove the Reblog button, but You can try the following line of code in your CSS editor.

  div.jp-carousel-buttons a {
  	display: none;
  }

  Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Hello, that’s really helpful for the comments, thanks! But I’m not sure where the remove reblog code is meant to go?

  To use the above code, click on your site name on the admin menu at the top left, and in the drop-down, select “Customize” to launch the site customizer. You can also reach the Customizer from your dashboard by going to Appearance>Customize

  From there, click on the “CSS” tab, and paste in the code, and be sure to save your changes when you are done.
