Comments and posted by

I would like to remove the ability to post comments (in my blog page). I have unticked: "allow comments" in the setting but it still allows.

Is it also possible to remove the "posted by" text?

Thanks!

 

1.For your first issue

Go to blog.php present in your theme directory and remove the code given below

Code:

<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments.', '1 Comment.', '% Comments.'); ?>
                        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading...</a> </li>
                    <!-- End the Loop. -->

Sending image for reference





2.For your second issue

Go to blog.php present in your theme directory and remove the code given below

Code:

Posted on
                        <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>
                        by
                        <?php the_author_posts_link() ?>
                        in
                        <?php the_category(', '); ?>

Sending image for reference





This will solve your issue.

 

Thank you, the second point (removal of author) worked. However it is still possible for people to post comments. Please see http://www.agaricus.co.za/?p=618 for what I mean.

Edit: In addition to this, I have noticed that when you use the search tool it comes up with articles and then says posted by "admin" etc... How can I remove this so that it does not say who has posted it in the search results? Please see attached screen shot for what I want to remove...

 

1) Open single.php and remove same code that you have removed from blog.php.

2) Open search.php and remove code given below as shown in image.

Code:

Posted on <a href="#">
                              <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>
                              </a> by <a href="#">
                              <?php the_author_posts_link() ?>
                              </a> in <a href="#">
                              <?php the_category(', '); ?>
                              </a>

 

Thank you,
1) the code :
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments.', '1 Comment.', '% Comments.'); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading...</a> </li>
does not exist on single.php but I found the correct code to delete:
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

All seems to be working correctly now.
