never show comment box, even in archive

  • Is it possible to never, ever, ever have the comment box visible at the bottom of a page? When a post is made to the index the comments link pops up. When one clicks on the title of the post and is taken to the permalink page, the comments and new comment box both appear at the bottom of the post. I can’t stand this. It’s such a simple thing, there must be a way to do it.

    Anyone here?

    Delete the comment call from the index page.

    I did that, and now there’s no link to the comments available from the rest of the post. I have a post that has a teaser and content that spans three pages. With the comment call deleted, the (comments #) link is visible on the index page only. Once the user clicks “more” or “1” or “2” or “3” the (comments #) link vanishes.
    If I don’t delete the comment call, the comments and comment box appear at the bottom of each page (more, 2, and 3). What I need is to call the comment popup the way the comments are currently being called, but I can’t figure out how to do that.

    I’ve got the same problem, hope someone has the answer!!!

    I can’t believe that nobody’s got the trick!

    Just edit the box out of your wp-comments.php file.

    I’m not certain how to do that. And if I do, when someone clicks a permalink or links to it, they won’t see any link to comments, will they?

    Hi Welsper, I replaced my wp-comments.phps by yours and I put /wp-comments-popup.php?p=<?php the_ID(); ?>” onclick=”wpopen(this.href); return false”>
    <?php _e(“Leave a comment”); ?>     in my index.php
    But I’ve got this message:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _e() in /home/boymond/www/flog/index.php on line 89
    Why?
    Thank you for your help,
    sebi.

    It doesn’t work eather!
    I made some changes to the index.php, I’ll try to find the original one and try again.

    Sorry but it doesn’t work for me!

    did anyone ever figure this out?
    i’d like my comments to be accessible ONLY when one clicks “comments(#)” (that link would be available with each post, whether on the front page or on an archive/permalinked page.. but the comment form and the comments would not show unless that “comments” link is clicked. suggestions?
