    Hi there,

    I am using the Highwind theme for my website and after every comments box on a page/post I see the following paragraph (whether I am logged in or not:

    You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

    I am trying to get rid of it, but do not know how to do so.

    I am new to this all, and any help is appreciated.

    Regards
    Jared

    Hi,

    That ‘strange’ paragraph is a note for your commenters, telling them that they can use those HTML tags in their comment, so that they can make links, write code, etc, inside their comments.

    It should be possible to hide it with CSS, but I think it’s helpful to your readers. Do you really want to remove it?

    If you wish to hide the allowed tags from below the comments box, add the following CSS at Appearance > Customize > CSS.

    .form-allowed-tags {
    display: none;
}

    Hi hfzrhmn, I do want to remove it yes. Just want people to post plain comments to be honest.

    @thesacredpath will I add that CSS into the file that is found in the Edit CSS tab on the left of the dashboard?

    @datsunsss71, I see you got it added. I had some connection issues and didn’t see that the site you asked about is self-hosted using the software from WordPress.org. The self-hosted version of Highwind is supported in its own WordPress.org theme support forum at: http://wordpress.org/support/theme/highwind . They should be able to help you out with all your questions about the version you are using.
