Removing comments in ‘autofocus’

  • Hi, just wondering if anyone knows the best way to remove all traces of the comment function from this theme?

    Thanks!

  • The easiest way would be to use Firebug to figure out what the different comment sections are called. They should be in their own divisions or maybe paragraphs.

    Then you can edit the CSS of the theme to set those areas to “display: none”. They will be hidden and no one will see them unless they disable CSS.

    Of course, if you want to put in a little more time, you can open all of the template files and delete out the comment areas completely.

    Ok, sounds labour intensive, but do-able! Thanks jleuze. Why oh why isn’t there an easy in-built way of turning comments off? Huh, wordpress?

    No problem karolinap. You can disable comments on posts by default, and you can set up WordPress so that no one can comment.

    But how this plays out in the front end depends on the theme, some will load different elements depending on whether comments are on or not.

    Once you start digging into the template files, you should be able to figure it out, just compare that code to what you are seeing live with Firebug to find the right sections.
