 * Hi all,
 * I’m needing to access the code to remove the “Leave a reply” option for my website.
   When I go to “Appearance” on the Dashboard I know where to go to edit the code.
   I thought there would be an editor but I don’t see an option for it. Do all themes
   have this functionality?

 * You don’t have administrator rights if you can’t see the editor. Someone has 
   to change your role in the site for you to do it.

 * I do have administrator rights. There is one other administrator who created 
   the site and he has the same options that I do. The only options under “Appearance”
   are:
 * Themes
    Widgets Menu Header Custom Design Mobile iPad
 * The theme is called “Ocean Mist” if that helps.
