  Hi

  How do I remove the blogging-related words from my ABOUT page?

  If you scroll down on the ABOUT page you’ll see:
  “EDIT, One thought on “About”, Pingback: May 2016 events | PEN South Africa EDIT, Comments are closed.”

  I want to delete all this stuff.

  Please help :)

  Thanks
  Darryl

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

  Hi Darryl,

  I had a look at this page – https://meltoncapetown.org/about/ – and it looks like you managed to remove the comment box there already. But just in case, this support guide explains how to remove the comment box from published posts and pages:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/

  The “Edit” link you can see at the bottom of the page is only visible to you when you’re signed into WordPress.com.

  Ah, ok. That’s a pingback which you can delete here:

  https://jewishliteraryfestivaldotcodotza.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php

  You can also disable pingbacks altogether at Settings > Discussion in the WordPress.com Dashboard:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/discussion/jewishliteraryfestival.co.za

  Deselect the option next to “Allow link notifications from other blogs …”.

  You can remove that with CSS code. Open the Customizer for your site:

  https://jewishliteraryfestivaldotcodotza.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php

  Then click “CSS” and paste in the following:

  .entry-meta {
  display:none;
  }
