 * I’ve found the ‘posted on’ and was able to remove the link on the date and author,
   but I can’t find the link on the date for comments.
 * Example:
 * Commenter says:
    September 5, 2014 at 2:30 pm This is my comment.
 * September 5, 2014 at 2:30 pm <– This entire line is linked to this comment. I
   would like to remove the link but leave the date. I cannot find where this is
   defined. Any hints?

 * To remove the comments date and time, you can add this CSS:
    `.comment-metadata{
   display: none; }` However, removing the link can’t be done in the CSS. WordPress
   handles the output of the comments and I just style it. I believe that some plugins
   will remove links to comments and it is possible to create a function that rewrites
   the layout of the comments, but that’s quite a process.
