As I recall, if the theme does not have a comments file, WP uses the default theme comment file. In that case, better to fix the theme than edit the default file. * [Monika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monika/) * (@monika) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266162) * maybe comments.php or comments-pop-up or similar * if you can’t find the template open all and search for the comments.. * there a template tags like author comments_text i.e. * Monika * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266166) * i have made my own theme, or i made a design and changed the blix theme into mine. maybe a stupid way to do it, but… * here is an example of the problem: [http://www.morgenutgaven.com/archives/21](http://www.morgenutgaven.com/archives/21) * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266168) * i went through every file in the theme folder, but i can’t figure it out.. * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266169) * If the theme has the file `comments.php`, modify that. If it doesn’t have one, copy one from Default theme folder to your theme folder, and modify the copy in your theme folder. * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266170) * i have tried that, but it doesn’t help. which files are being used in addition to comments.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and header.php? * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266174) * any suggestions? * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266178) * List all the files you have in the current theme folder. * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266180) * 404.php archive.php archives.php bx_functions.php comments-popup.php comments. php contact.php footer.php header.php index.php page.php search.php page.php sidebar.php single.php style.css * [Joshua Sigar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphaoide/) * (@alphaoide) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266185) * Paste the whole code for the following 2 files separately in [http://paste.uni.cc](http://paste.uni.cc) * `index.php comments.php * Come back and give us the links after pasting the code. * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266243) * index file: [http://paste.uni.cc/7781](http://paste.uni.cc/7781) * comments file: [http://paste.uni.cc/7782](http://paste.uni.cc/7782) * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266320) * The problem is not with your comments file. Try fixing your quotes div (wrapping a block level element with an inline element) and some of the other errors which may be causing the “not open div” message. * Thread Starter [theolem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theolem/) * (@theolem) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266335) * when a permalink is clicked, which files are being loaded then? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-a-div/#post-266337) * Depends on the theme. If there is a single.php then it is loaded along with the header and footer, otherwise index.php is used. Also if there is a comment.php file it is loaded, otherwise the file in the default directory is loaded. * That is irrelevant I believe. Your problem appears to be improperly nested tags as I noted.
