    Hi
    I am using WordPress 2.8.6 and the “simple x” theme from WPshoppe.

    I don’t want “Comments” to be active, so in each post I have unchecked the box. The problem is that when I go to my website and look at the posts, there is a box at the beginning of each post which says “Be The First To Comment”. I don’t know how to delete this.

    I’ve gone into the Editor page but looking at all the HTML on the “comments” section, I’m not sure what to delete.

    Can anyone help?

    I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Stella

    You can delete the call to the comments.php file in all the files where it exists, (single, page…) or you can open comments.php and remove it.

    Try this; put this line as the last line of style.css:

    .comments-popup { display: none}

    and in index.php, archive.php, and search.php, change:

    <?php comments_popup_link('Be the first to comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>

    to:

    <?php comments_popup_link('Be the first to comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments','comments-popup'); ?>

    To BPartch Thanks for your help and I tried it. I got confused, so tried vtxyzzy’s instructions.

    Thanks again though.

    Thanks. I didn’t have to change archive.php or search.php.
    But it’s worked. Thankyou.
