Hey,
I've been having some trouble with a theme I installed. Check out this page, for example.
There's the "add comment" form - which is nice - but since I've installed disqus, I want to get rid of it.
I've tried searching all the source CSS/PHP files - can't find anything using "Add a comment" or a comment form file - but would like to not have that comment form on the bottom of the posts and just use disqus. Anybody more familiar with carrington?
Sorry if this isn't the right place.

To disable comment permanenetly, rename/Delete the wp-comments-post.php file.
This file should be located in the root of your WordPress.

Nope - it still shows up below the posts, including the comment form.

Nope. Didn't work. Don't have another computer, same result on other browsers.

Check your plug-ins Disqus seems to be embedding a lot of JS into the pages. So disable the plug-in and/or delete it from plug-ins directory.
Failing that post back.

The content I am trying to move is part of the Carrington theme, not Disqus, best I can tell. Disqus is what I want to use in lieu of the built in wp-comment and carrington comment forms.

The add commment form is part and parcel of Disquss? It's Ajax powered.
So what you want to do is move existing commments in the WPDB and move them to Disquss?
Or have I totally mis-understood you?

Hi,
First off, thanks for taking the time to try and help with this.
The add comment form that drops down when you click on "add a comment" is part of Carrington, the them which I am using. I have a post in their support forum requesting advice but have not had a reply there yet.
Disqus is the system I would like to use, which you see only on individual post pages.

Ah now I see what you mean. You've got a double loading issue correct?
You have a comment here box and a diquss box.
Simplest solution would be to 'hide; the first one. It doesn't fix the issue but at least it's a work around.
The class for the text is: .comments-link
So all you need to do is do is
.comments-link {display: none;}
Add that to the CSS stylesheet.
I don't have access to the Carrington theme so I can't advise much more than this.

Awesome, that got rid of the stupid comment box!
Do you know of a way to instead turn that text that it got rid of into a link to the stand-alone post page so that the disqus comment box can load?

That's going to take some hacking of the theme to achieve to be honest, probably more complicated and you'd need to contact the theme creator for help with this and/or create a child theme for this page.
