 * In the comments section at the bottom of the page it says required fields are
   marked *. this sign appears next to the website as well, where as it is not required.
   I have tried to fix it in the settings-discussion menu but cannot find an option
   to do so. anybody know where the problem is?
 * thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffixing-comments-section-required-fields%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * This CSS hides the fist `<p>` in the form which contains that text:
 *     ```
       .comment-form p:first-child {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Use the Customizer to add this CSS to your theme.

 * Have you since refreshed the page(s) in question in your browser?
 * I also no longer see the sidebar on the page noted. Did you take a differing 
   course of action? It’s always helpful to make the posts here most clear from 
   top to bottom.
 * Please review using CSS if my post did not point you to a direction most helpful:
