That’s going to be my next step, but as I mentioned, the problem isn’t just with the main plugin I’m trying to use. The bigger issue is that GoDaddy and/or the Plex Platform is giving me issues installing ANY plugins, which will cause issues for the client down the road. So I’m trying to resolve that issue as well.

Alright, I think I got it all straightened out. Thanks a lot, this is my first attempt to make a theme from scratch and I feel pretty comfortable trying another one at another time. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, I did that, but now it appears to be too wide. I know if this was still just a static page, this would mean it’s not inside the proper div that’s set to give the combo of the sidebar and main content a width of 1000px. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but I can’t see where else I’m messing up. This is what it should look like.

nivat1 is right. You have to go into FTP and find the facebook-comments-display.php file inside the Facebook Comments for WordPress plug-in folder, and remove the line Comments Closed. That is THE ONLY WAY to remove the bigger “Comments Closed” text that the plug-in shows. DO NOT USE MY EARLIER METHOD, I just discovered that it removes the commenter all together from a page. To remove the smaller “Comments are Closed.” text, under Editor, go to Comments (comments.php) and remove the words Comments are Closed. which are inside 2 ‘s, but leave those there.

I’m using the Facebook Comments on WordPress plugin, so I have no problem with that.

Apparently this is a problem people were having using the Artisteer to create their theme. It also removes the box that the Comments area would have been surrounded by.

I figured it out! Go to the Page Template (page.php) and remove the following line:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

I’m using 2.3.0.21098 Home and Academic Edition. I upgraded but I didn’t like it, so I went back to this version. I looked under Legacy Comments and it’s not there, either.

Well I went through every file of the theme and Comments Closed was no where to be found. How is it that the theme editor I have could have created this?

Ok I’ve done that. But now, I can’t get ‘Comments are closed.’ back, but I wrote it back in where it was, and I added the text you said above at the very end of style.css

Ok just sent it.

Well I didn’t hack the .php file. I’m using a theme I created with Artisteer 2 and I didn’t make any edits to any of the files, except for comments.php where I erased the text ‘Comments are closed.’

I added what you posted at the very end but it’s still there.

Where exactly do I put it in style.css?

ah ha, figured it out. I used <b> within my Widgets, changed them to and and it’s fixed now.
