Thank you Stephen. I guess I needed a comment lesson/refresher.
I never tried using html comments, it being a php file. And I had overlooked that php comments need to be placed inside the php tags to eliminate the called functions. I have very little experience with php scripting.
Again, thanks so much

I’m trying to comment out the one line of code in that file to remove the “Back To Top” link that appears in the footer. I’m using a premium theme called florence BUT, I experienced the same behavior with 20-14 default theme in CSS and PHP files.
Using custom CSS isn’t necessarily a non-starter; I just want to know why I can’t comment out code like in any other normal html, php, css files?
I prefer to back up my revisions and not use child themes, I don’t like redundancy regardless of how minimal the performance is affected. But even using a child theme is just a hack; why can’t I simply comment out code in already created wordpress content files?
