Peter, great idea. I had modified that code significantly and working backward from the original solved the problem.

Many thanks for your time and thoughts….

I don’t see that code in the original single.php, so yes, I did add that code.

The single page url is: https://albereo.com/melanie/be-joyful-jane-goodall

Here’s the code from the index.php file:

<div class=”metabox”>
<span class=”catlink”><?php _e(‘Related:’); ?> <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?></span> <span class=”commentlink”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?></span> <span class=”editcomment”><?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ”); ?></span><?php if (get_the_tags()) : ?><span class=”taglink”><?php _e(‘Tags:’); ?><?php the_tags(‘ ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); ?></span><?php endif; ?>

Here’s the index page link: https://albereo.com/melanie

Here is the code from the single.php file:

<div class=”metabox”>
<span class=”catlink”><?php _e(‘Related:’); ?> <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?></span> <span class=”commentlink”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?></span> <span class=”editcomment”><?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ”); ?></span><?php if (get_the_tags()) : ?><span class=”taglink”><?php _e(‘Tags:’); ?><?php the_tags(‘ ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); ?></span><?php endif; ?>

Here is a single page url: https://albereo.com/melanie

The line “Comments are closed.” appears here at the lower left under the post.

Yet my interest is in removing the “No Comments” line that appears higher in the meta content just below the post.

Anyone have a cure or another good idea to play with?

I want to keep comments enabled in the Discussion Settings and enable/disable comments on a per post basis.

I know that if I have comments enabled for a post and no one has commented, the line “No Comments” will appear. That’s OK.

As I look at my comments.php code, the words “Comments are closed” should appear, but is not. Here is a section of that code:

<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

<?php if (‘open’ == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<!– If comments are open, but there are no comments. –>

<?php else : // comments are closed ?>

<!– If comments are closed. –>

<p class=”nocomments”>Comments are closed.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I’m going to take a good look at the index.php and single.php files.

Yes, I have tried that and the words still appear.

I’m using Black n White theme.

Thank you, worked perfectly.

That cleared up the issue.
Many thanks alchymyth.

That was the solution for the navmenu links.

There’s a second issue that I thought this would clear up but didn’t. The :link and :visited colors are the same throughout my css style. Yet, the category and tag links that accompany each post is showing different :link and :visited colors. (The :link is yellow and the :visited is ivory; both should be ivory).

Here is my css code again with all the link preferences:

h1 a{

color: #FFB915;

text-decoration: underline;}

h1 a:visited{

color: #FFB915;

text-decoration: underline;}

h1 a:hover{

text-decoration: none;

color: #FFB915;}
a:link{

text-decoration: underline;

That worked. Thanks esmi for your quick response.

That’s it! It works.

Thank you stvwlf. I really appreciate your attention on this.

I made the suggestions you gave. Comments are still not showing.

The line

<!– index.php –>

is appearing in the source code.

Thanks for your reply. I placed that line of code where you suggested it, with no success. Then I moved it around. Still no display of comments. Will it help to look at the code of this page?

Thanks, but I’m having trouble.

stvwlf: I don’t seem to be finding the right code from the single.php. would you help me locate that? The file is here:

‘<?php get_header(); ?>

Sorry, I don’t know what ‘inside the WP loop’ means.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve got IE 6.0 on a laptop that I’ve been checking the site it. That’s where I still see the 100% body text. Apparently in higher versions of IE, it’s displaying properly. It also displays well in all of my Mac browsers.

Anybody with earlier versions of IE seeing this body text problem?

Concerning the fix to the missing header image problem, I changed these lines of the style.css file from this:

‘#header {
background: #url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 175px;
}

#headerimg {
margin: 0;
height: 175px;
padding: 0 0 0 45px;

}’

to this:

‘#header {
background: url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 200px;
}

#headerimg {
margin: 0;
height: 200px;
padding: 0 0 0 45px;
}’
