# Remove 'Leave a Comment'

 * Whenever I view the excerpt of my posts, there is always a ‘Leave a comment’.
   I do not want people to be able to leave comments from simply reading the excerpt,
   and I want them to wait until they read the post before leaving a comment so 
   the ‘leave comment’ should only be visible on the post-page.
 * Can anyone suggest how to remove the ‘Leave a comment’ which is now visible under
   all excerpts please?

 * I fixed the problem, I simply commented out the reference to it in the content.
   php in the child theme.
 *     ```
       <?php if ( comments_open() && ! is_single() ) : ?>
       			<!-- <div class="comments-link">
       				<?php comments_popup_link( '<span class="leave-reply">' . __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', __( 'One comment so far', 'twentythirteen' ), __( 'View all % comments', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>
       			</div>.comments-link -->
       		<?php endif; // comments_open() ?>
       ```
