removing comments

  • Hi, First let me say I am a code-tard. PHP frightens me.

    That said, I have been able to nicely alter the css on my word press but I have a few issues remaining to be tweaked.

    1. I don’t want the “comment” link to show up at all. I have turned the comments off, but it still shows up comments (0) and I’d like that completely gone.

    2. I can’t seem to order the content of my side bar. I’d like to rearrange the order in which catagories, blog roll calandar show up. I can’t seem to figure out how to alter the order.

    3. Finally *sigh* is there anyway I can have the last five entries listed on my sidebar?

    Thanks for any help in advance and remember I am not a code person and have no programming knowledge.

  • 1. In index.php, remove all this:
    <div class="feedback">
    <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
    <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
    </div>

    <!--
    <?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
    -->

    <?php include(ABSPATH . 'wp-comments.php'); ?>

    Also delete your “wp-comments-post.php”

    2. Again in index.php, it’s all between here:
    <div id="menu">
    and
    </li>

    </ul>

    </div> <-----------------here
    cut and paste at will – and keep a copy when it goes right. If you want a specific order, just say what it is and I’ll paste it here.

    3. Yup – grab a plugin – grab Recent Posts from here:

    Thanks! I got the comments (0) thing gone.

    I understand the menu ordering but here is a sub-issue. (I can change the order of search, calender etc) but how do I order the way the things I have as catagories diaply. I have two catagories and I’d like to be able to add more and control the order they list in, and right now I can’t.

    You can.
    When you enter the name of a link or category, put spaces before the name. More spaces = higher in the list they display.
    You can also use phpmyadmin and alter $id values, but this way is safer and just as configurable (long winded at times maybe)

    Is that *ever* going to be *cough* “fixed” *cough* …. or are we going to be continously forced to “botch” it up like that?

    Tg

    Ermm……think of it as a feature ??

    I’ll raise the issue !
