 * > I am looking to turn off the reply option on my responsive theme blog.
 * From your WordPress admin dashboard, go to **Settings > Discussion** and uncheck
   the box that’s labeled _Allow people to post comments on new articles_.

 * Yes, but you should learn to use a web debugging tool like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)(
   a free extension for Firefox) or [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/),
   which comes built-in with Chrome. Once you figure out what CSS to use, you can
   add it through the Responsive theme’s custom CSS option: go to **Appearance >
   Theme Options**, expand the _CSS Styles_ section, and enter your CSS rules in
   the _Custom CSS Styles_ field. If you do not understand CSS, there is a good 
   tutorial [here](http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp).

 * Thanks for the reply I tried to turn off the replies by going through dashboard–
   settings > discussion and turning off allow people to post comments but it hasn’t
   seem to have any affect.

 * Are you talking about new posts/pages or existing posts/pages? That option should
   turn off comments for any _new_ posts or pages that you write. If you want to
   turn them off for your _existing_ posts:
    1. From your admin dashboard, go to **Posts > All Posts**
    2. If not all of your posts are displayed on a single page, click the **Screen 
       Options** tab in the upper right corner and enter a number that’s large enough
       to either display all of your posts or a workable number of posts on the screen(
       maybe 100). This will help reduce the number of edits that you’ll have to do
       below. Click **Apply**.
    3. From the **Bulk Actions** drop down list, select **Edit**.
    4. Mark the checkbox next to the word **Title**. This will select all of the posts
       on the page.
    5. Click the **Apply** button.
    6. The **Bulk Edit** section will open up. In the _Comments_ dropdown, select **
       Do not allow**.
    7. Click the **Update** button.
 * This will remove the comment dialog from the posts that were listed on the page.
   If you have other pages of posts, continue with the other pages and repeat steps
   3-7. If you want to remove comments from pages as well, repeat the above after
   going to **Pages > All Pages**.
