UPDATE: I found a solution to the unidentified box being removed. I’m not sure the appropriate name, but it is the box that holds the post metadata. The line of code for hiding it can be found in the single.php panel. The lines of code I edited are below for anyone who needs a reference, but all I did to hide the box and information was place two (/) into the code holding the information that I did NOT want shown. View my example below:

<p class="postmetadata"><?php //the_category(', ') ?>  <?php //edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php// comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?> <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?></p>
            <?php  wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . 'Pages:' . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
            <div class="floatleft"><?php previous_post_link('? %link (Previous Post)'); ?>'</div>
			<div class="floatright"><?php //next_post_link('(Next Post) %link ?'); ?></div>
            <div class="floatleft"><?php //previous_image_link( false, '? Previous Image' ); ?></div>
			<div class="floatright"><?php next_image_link( false, 'Next Image ?' ); ?></div>

JTLazenby,

Am I overlooking something because I went to the settings tab and searched through all the links but I was not able to locate a disable comments feature.

Arti Singh,

I gave it a try but I was not able to remove the box. I believe that the box in question may not be the comment box. The reason I say so is that after going to the discussion checkbox I noticed that it was already unchecked. I thought I would check it just to see what would happen and another box (w/Leave A Comment) appeared below the box I was wanting to get rid of. Do you think I may have to edit one of the php files??

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the responses you guys. Arti Singh, I downloaded the background manager and it has been helpful. d5Creation, thank you for your compliment, it really means a lot. After all of these hours my respect for programmers has been lifted to new heights! I’m taking your advice on custom style within page template now. Do you know if the four thumbnails on the title page can link to another page without that page being revealed in the main menu? My only other alternative was to create a post for them but I can’t figure out how to remove the comment box below the videos without deleting my footer as well. Here’s my example.

Just watched a couple more youtube videos, but still haven’t had any success.

Just a head ups: the only other page created outside of the home page is the contact page.

Hello everyone,

Problem solved! Beninspain’s solution fixed it! And thank you very much. Thank you all for your responses. (Jcastaneda) The theme is offered for free through WordPress and to my knowledge it is one of the more recent themes made available. I’ve done some modifying of course, but if you search for the D5 Business Line theme you should be able to locate it. (Alchymyth) The changes I made were to the “creditline” info in the functions.php panel. I replaced their existing information with my own. (See example below). I cannot remember the error message verbatim, but I do recall the screen becoming all white with a bold black code at the top that contained my ftp information (user name and host). After the screen turned white I was unable access the login page for my wordpress, so I had to replace the functions.php file to rectify my error.

function d5businessline_credit() {
echo ‘| D5 Business Line Theme by: <img width=”30px” src=”‘ . get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/images/d5logofooter.png” /> D5 Creation | Powered by: WordPress‘;
