I'm using the Old School theme for http://www.mylondonyourlondon.com, which I've already modified a fair bit using my basic CSS knowledge. But I'm stumped on how to take all reference to the comments off the front and category pages.
I want to lose the bit about "What do you think? Have I got it right? Click here to leave your views - 0 Comments " but to leave it on the post pages.
All help most gratefully received. Thanks!
You should look in the index.php file of the theme to delete or comment out those line.
May I suggest something else, too? I'd create a Page template (see > Pages#Page_Templates) in order to avoid the appearence of the comment box on Pages. It looks ugly.

Thanks, the pages suggestion is a good one I'm about to implement.
But I can't see how I can take the comments out of the index file without losing them also from the individual posts, which I don't want to do ... all help gratefully received!
There is a solution for that, too :)
I suspect in that theme there isn't a single.php template file either. So I'd save my index.php as single.php (having the references/link to comments) and after that delete them from the index file. WP is "smart" so that knows which template file to select for different views > See Template_Hierarchy.

I understand this solution, and it makes sense, except that I change other elements of templates, both index and single post pages regularly, and this would mean I would have to do all of that twice. I might just live with the comments on the front! But thanks for your help, and hopefully this might be helpful to others.

Well, change of heart. I've just done this - it was remarkably simple, and it is working. Thanks!
