Actually, that first post helped – I didn’t realise I could do this by modifying the theme files, I thought I’d have to modify WP files. ?? I’ve managed now, thank you.

Welcome,

if you need to remove the “reply” to comment link at the bottom of each comment.

The given code will help you.

1) Please find the file in you website folder

Path is : “/yoursite/wp-includes/class-walker-comment.php”

2) find the below code in the file class-walker-comment.php

<?php
comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array(
‘add_below’ => ‘div-comment’,
‘depth’ => $depth,
‘max_depth’ => $args[‘max_depth’],
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”reply”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’
) ) );
?>

3) and replace with the code

<?php
comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array(
‘add_below’ => ‘div-comment’,
‘depth’ => $depth,
‘max_depth’ => $args[‘max_depth’],
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”reply” style=”display:none;”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’
) ) );
?>

Thank you ??
