separated archives and removing comments

    Hello, all!

    I am completely remodeling my site at the moment. The new design is using Gemini as a starting point and will be completely re-worked once I am done but for the time being I am struggling through the nuts and bolts part. I want to do two things that I can’t figure out:

    1. I removed the option to leave comments on my posts from the admin screen but I want to take away all reference to comments on the page itself. I don’t want all of those “no comments yet” remarks on every post I make since there will never be any comments. Right now, these show up as a big fat “0” next to every post’s title and it really annoys me. Where do I go to get rid of this?

    2. I would like to move my archives to a separate page. I don’t want them listed in the sidebar. An example of what I want them to do is https://www.dooce.com/archives.html
    If I can’t get that, I would settle for a list of months/years on a separate page.

    Thank you in advance

    1. If the zero (0) appears next to the title you are not using the “original” gemini. So, which one?
    In any case, look for something like this:
    <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
    and remove it.

    2. That’s not a WP blog.

    1. Perfect! Thank you so much! I removed some other code but missed that line. Right now it’s Gemini Pink but I really just needed to know what the tag was for future reference since I am not leaving up the current theme very long.

    2. I know it’s not WP. She uses movable type. But is there a way to get that feature in WordPress? A plug-in or something. Or just a way to move the archive code to it’s own separate page without fouling anything up.

    Thank you, moshu!!

    There are Plugins, like clean archive and nice archive and who knows what kind of archives ??
    Clean Archives is doing something similar; though on long run I find it totally useless and annoying – as it was in the case of that MT blog: I hit the Stop button at once because cannot stand km long pages… When you have 10 posts it seems fun. When you have 8,000 posts and put them all on a page, all the visitors will hate you – not to mention it means at least 16,000 queries from the database for one single page.
