How do I do this??? * [CypressWebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeyer2485/) * (@jmeyer2485) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932893) * By reply box you mean the comment section? * Thread Starter [heyheypaulaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heyheypaulaf/) * (@heyheypaulaf) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932894) * Yes, it says “leave a reply” * Thread Starter [heyheypaulaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heyheypaulaf/) * (@heyheypaulaf) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932895) * Another question- I downloaded plugins for child themes, but I have no idea how to create or what they really do to help. I am new to wordpress. the site I have worked on was set up by someone else beautifully, and now trying to do on my own is totally different/ foreign…. Also, how do I merge the templates from one theme with another? * [CypressWebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeyer2485/) * (@jmeyer2485) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932897) * You need to do two things. * **1.** Go to **Settings** > **Discussion** > Then uncheck the box “_Allow people to post comments on new articles_“ * On any pages you already have you need to go remove those seperatly. * **2.** Go to **Pages** > Hover over the page title click **Quick Edit** > Uncheck the box “_Allow Comments_“ * You can do the same under the **Posts** section also. * [CypressWebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeyer2485/) * (@jmeyer2485) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932899) * > Another question- I downloaded plugins for child themes, but I have no idea > how to create or what they really do to help. * I personally don’t trust Child Theme plugins. * Read this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Watch this: [WPBeginner Child Theme Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEYSqEBZHRE) * A child theme is so you can edit the PHP files or add custom CSS to the site without losing it when the theme is updated. * If you edit the theme PHP files without a child theme when the theme is updated you’ll lose all your edits. * > Also, how do I merge the templates from one theme with another? * I’ve never heard of merging two themes, I would just look and find a theme in the directory that fits your needs. * Thread Starter [heyheypaulaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heyheypaulaf/) * (@heyheypaulaf) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932903) * Thanks for your help! I appreciate it! The quick edit was awesome! * [CypressWebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeyer2485/) * (@jmeyer2485) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932907) * Awesome! * Please mark as resolved if I have answered all your questions and feel free to come back and open new thread if you have new questions. * Thread Starter [heyheypaulaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heyheypaulaf/) * (@heyheypaulaf) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932916) * One last thing, thank you! How do I eliminate the “theme by SKT themes” at the bottom left corner of the footer? I would rather put in my info there?! * [CypressWebs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeyer2485/) * (@jmeyer2485) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932920) * You would need a Child Theme to do that. * When you get a Child theme made up and add your footer.php file to it come back and open new thread, we’ll help you with it. * Thread Starter [heyheypaulaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heyheypaulaf/) * (@heyheypaulaf) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-the-code-for-page-php/#post-5932924) * Great!
