Remove comments are closed statement

If you want to get rid of this…

167

Put this in your custom.css…

.custom .comments_closed p {display: none ;}

If you want to remove that statement on only certain individual pages, check out how to style any page or post differently than all the rest HERE

Leaving a comment with code in it...

If you would like to leave a comment and you have examples of code you want to show, you must "escape the code". This allows the entire code to show correctly by inserting certain variable around certain tags to make them show. If you don't "escape the code" your code will show up broken, mangled, and it won't be able to be seen correctly. "Escaping the code" is very simple...

  1. Copy your code you want to show
  2. Click here to go to the site to escape the code
  3. Follow the directions, it's so easy
  4. Once you have the escaped code copied, paste it in the comments area where you want
  5. Now you can enjoy life


Go ahead, leave a comment...

{ 4 comments… read them below or add one }

I have really enjoyed your website and tips. However I cannot seem to get the “remove comments are closed” to work on my website. I have followed your direction. I am using the latest version of Thesis and also using Thesis Open Hook, what am I doing wrong?

Put the code in the custom.css not the open hook

Thanks for the tip.
It worked on the post page but not on the home/index page.
Any ideas why this would be the case.

Cheers
Paul

Hmmm, try adding a conditional statement and a style sheet in your custom_functions.php file…

function homepage_stylesheet(){
if (is_front_page() || (is_home()) { ?>
<style type="text/css">
.comments_closed p {display: none ;}
</style>
<? }}
add_action(’wp_head’ , ‘homepage_stylesheet’);
