    Hi,

    I am just getting started putting a site together. I dont want comments on the site at all. View Comments etc…

    Can you please help? Thanks

    Also instead of writing a text excerpt I would like to use images. Is this possible?

    Thank you
    Jay

    A couple methods to remove the comments.

    1. Go to your WP Dashboard | Settings | Discussion in the left sidebar

    Uncheck:
    – Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
    – Allow people to post comments on new articles

    2. Comment out the actual code in your template

    Go to your WP Dashboard | Appearance | Editor and on the right side under Theme Files, you’ll want to edit your single.php file and page.php file.

    Look near the bottom of these files for code that references your comments call to action. Should look something like this:

    <div id=”comments”>

    Comment out the block of code referring to displaying your comments on your pages and posts.

    No problem. If you’re not familiar with working with code, it’s probably best to stay away from that one.

    Did the other option work for you?
