I am dreading to launch a blog with 0 comments on every post.

Is there any quick way to disable comments?

I don't want to use the feature under posts because it gives an impression as though the comments have just closed for a particular post.

Any less code advice as possible will be appreciated.

you can disable comments from the wordpress settings by unchecking the "Allow people to post comments on new articles" in settings - discussion. The "Comments are closed" text can be removed from comments.php.

Hi,
I unchecked the "Allow people to post comments on new articles.
I also would like to remove the "No Comments" reference on all my older posts. Is there a way of removing this verbiage?
Thanks!

I am still unable to remove the "No Comments" reference from my older posts. I looked in the comments.php page but I don't see what I need to change. I am a beginner, can you give me the specific change I need to make?

remove the line with "<h4 id="comments">". this is for the the amount of comments heading. if you are talking about the post meta info (just below the title), then that's a different thing.

Yes, I am talking about the area below the title, which still says No Comments.
Can this also be removed?
Thanks

you can disable this in the theme settings. uncheck Comments in the "Post Meta Information" section.

I am also trying to disable the words |comments off that is currently displayed on the row after every blog title. I have tried all of the above suggestions and none of those have worked. I would be very grateful if someone could please help me. Thank you!

so you did what I said above, and it stills display? then maybe we are not talking about the same thing. To go further with it could you include screenshots of the post with that text and the theme settings post meta area.

In case you cannot access the screen shot, here is the link to my website page: http://www.thesecondbite.co.uk/ and here is a copy of what the blog display looks like:

| COMMENTS OFF

I don't have anything ticked in the theme settings post meta area.

Thank you so much for your help! Phyllis

this is thumb posts (enabled with the "Show older posts on the blog frontpage as thumbnail posts" setting), and then it's a different setting. Uncheck the "Show Meta info for Thumbnail posts" setting under the "Thumbnail Posts" section.

Btw, you can also use bfthumbs for the blog frontpage with the new shortcode template system and then you can easily add, remove and modify any parts of the thumb post.

Wow - fantastic! I can't believe how easy that was to change. I have wasted literally days of my time trying to figure out how to get rid of that comments off line. I hope I haven't messed anything up by deleting all of the comments.php information that I deleted.... Thank you so very much!!!! Phyllis
