Removing "Reply" and "Leave a Comment" from pages

Nvm!

Yes. Please advise on
– how to remove/disable this sidebar
– how to translate items (e.g. in a Dutch language blog Leave a comment should be Reageer)
– how to make items conditional (no comments on pages, no comments on old items etc)
– how to add items (links?)

I’ve answered this here:

In future, it would be better to start your own thread instead of tacking your questions onto multiple existing threads, thanks!

You can disable comments on older posts under Settings > Discussion. Next to “Other comment settings” check the box that says “Automatically close comments on articles older than X days” and set the number of days you prefer. Click “Save Changes” when you’re done.

To disable comments on a page, uncheck these two boxes below the post editor:

Ryu has four header widget areas. If you don’t add any widgets to those areas, the only thing that will appear in the header area is a search icon, which toggles open the search box when clicked. If you prefer to hide it, add this to your custom CSS:

#triggers-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

I’m not sure what you have in mind, but if you’re referring to how to add items to a menu, you’ll need to create a custom menu under Appearance > Menus and assign it to Ryu’s Primary Menu area.

Here’s a full guide to creating a custom menu. It’s from WordPress.com, but it works the same on self-hosted sites:
