    I am using twenty-eleven and would like to remove the Leave A Reply section from the static front page. Can you tell me where to find this, and what to remove please.
    Thankyou for your help

    First, do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    – to remove ‘Leave a reply’

    edit content.php, and remove:

    `<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
    <?php if ( $show_sep ) : ?>
    <span class=”sep”> | </span>
    <?php endif; // End if $show_sep ?>
    <span class=”comments-link”><?php comments_popup_link( ‘<span class=”leave-reply”>’ . __( ‘Leave a reply’, ‘twentyeleven’ ) . ‘</span>’, __( ‘<b>1</b> Reply’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), __( ‘<b>%</b> Replies’, ‘twentyeleven’ ) ); ?></span>
    <?php endif; // End if comments_open() ?>`

    You can disable commenting on your site by going to :
    Settings >> Discussion >> uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles”.
    There are some other options too that you can change.

    Hello,
    The support above has stopped “Leave A Reply” on other pages, but it is still on the bottom of the front, Home page. If you can guide me further I will be very grateful.
    Thankyou

    Hello Tara,
    I did have a look at this but I am not sure which is the template for my front page. I thought it was Default but I can’t see a default page template?
    I do hope this makes some sense.
    Thankyou for helping.
    Regards
    Neil

    Hello Tara,
    No, I don’t see home.php. I am using theme TwentyEleven which ships with WP if that helps.
    I see page.php; index.php; single.php; content-page.php?
    Thankyou

    you can use contional tag so that the stuff you dont want is excluded from the front page:

    <?php is_front_page(); ?>
