• I just downloaded the sexy comments plugin for my wordpress blog. The installation instructions are hazy at best.

    Locate the template file(s) in your theme that loops over and displays comments. Remove that comment output loop and replace with:

    Does anyone have an example of the code I may be looking for? I’ve been doing the whole trial and error thing for over an hour now and I can’t get it to work.

    I’m using the “nobus” theme if it helps

  • well, I don’t know the nobus theme, but the comment displaying code is probably in single.php (or, your Single Post template, if you know which one that is).

    And that section of code will definitely have the word “comment” in it, so you could open the template file in a text editor and search for “comment.” Then, if you still don’t know what to delete, maybe paste that section of code on Pastebin (dot com) and put the link to it here so we can see.

    [moderated – too much code. Please either place the code in a txt file on your site with a link here or use a pastebin service such as https://wordpress.pastebin.ca]

    that is the code… here are the installation instructions.

    can anyone help?

    Check your themes comments.php. That tends to be where most themes keep their Comments loop.

    Yeah I know where to check, I don’t know what code I’m supposed to be looking for

    The posts above seem to give you some suggestions for locating that code.

    I know it seems confusing at first, but just look for the section of code talking about “comments”. Like, do a Find for the word “comment” and see what you find.

    And/or put all the code on pastebin for us to see

    I have just removed the comments block in whole due to spamming problems from my blog.

    I do miss the comments and discussions on my blog at https://www.keralpatel.com but then I am fed up of wasting time deleting the comments.

    I’m having trouble finding the comments loop too. I’m not using the default theme, so my comments.php does not look like the example they have at all. There’s a lot and i don’t know what to take out or leave. I’ll paste the code here from my comments.php in the custom theme I use in case anyone can tell me really quick what needs to be replaced. Appreciate it!
