  • Yes you can, just edit the template file. To get the exact file and code location, you might want to contact the author directly

    I guess I should of put How? Sorry.

    WordPress coding is still new to me and i’m learning but still a bit lost.

    Usually the file name is comments.php, you’ll have to edit that. But might also need to edit the style.css file for those comments.

    @adorkablii – it’s never a good idea to modify theme files directly – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Instead you should be using a Child theme – see:

    Opps. Didn’t know that, I will be sure to save all my changes then!!! Thank you!!!

    However can anyone tell me what I have to do to fix the comment problem?

    Do you have the child theme set up?

    The point is to make a child them NOW before you modify theme files – changing the comment file involves doing that.

    I created the child theme in my FTP and then re-loaded the orginal file and re applied my theme with the edits. And that’s where I get lost!

    Looks like you do have a child theme set up but the style.css file is not correct – reread the directions on that.

    I read it and I don’t get it…..

    Remove everything from the child theme style.css file and put this in it.

    /*
    Theme Name:     My Child
    Template:       stripes-and-blue
    */
    @import url("../stripes-and-blue/style.css");

    Then switch to another theme for a minute and switch back to the child.
