   Hi all,
   I'm developing a plugin that deals with comments and as such it has an admin page that controls all the settings. However a lot of these settings are similar/the same as the ones defined in the discussion panel. I was wondering if there is a way to remove options from the discussion panel. I have been looking at ./wp-admin/options-discussion.php and I can see exactly what I want to hide but obviously as it's a plugin I can't just delete stuff off that page.
   I noticed each option has a <label> around the whole option so is there a way of hiding this??
   Below is the code I am talking about:
   

   <label for="default_comment_status">
   <input name="default_comment_status" type="checkbox" id="default_comment_status" value="open" <?php checked('open', get_option('default_comment_status')); ?> />
   <?php _e('Allow people to post comments on new articles') ?></label>
   <br />

   Thanks for any help,
   Sephers2.

   To hide stuff in that menu, do something like this in your plugin
   (But... if there are items that are there by default, why are u not using them?):

   function hide_them() {
   	?>
   	<script type="text/javascript"><!--
   	/* <![CDATA[ */
   	jQuery('#commentstatusdiv label[for="default_comment_status"]').hide();
   	/* ]]> */
   	--></script>
   	<?php
   }
   add_action('admin_footer', 'hide_them');

   Or... Maybe the better way for you would be to create another admin page and not using the options-discussion.php :)

   you can remove the default discussion options page from the menu and add your own, doing this:

   function mydisq_remove_old() {
   	// remove discussion page
   	remove_submenu_page('options-general.php','options-discussion.php');
   }
   add_action('admin_init', 'mydisq_remove_old');
   
   function mydisq_add_new() {
   	// add own discussion page
   	add_options_page(__('My Discussion Options'), __('My Discussion'), 'manage_options', 'my_discussion_unique_id', 'mydisq_admin_panel');
   }
   add_action('admin_menu', 'mydisq_add_new');
   
   function mydisq_admin_panel() {
   	?>
   	<div class="wrap">
   		<div id="icon-options-general" class="icon32"><br /></div>
   		<h2><?php _e('Discussion Settings'); ?></h2>
   		<!-- output your options panel -->
   	</div>
   	<?php
   }
