Deleting HTML tags and attributes feature below comments field

The easiest way to get rid of it is to use a different commenting system. The only other way would be to modify the code yourself or create a child theme.

I recommend Jetpack with the Jetpack commenting system which is almost invisible, works well with Museum Core, and doesn’t show the accepted tags. You can see an example of what it looks like with Core on my blog: https://jazzsequence.com/2013/11/new-pluralsight-course-user-roles-capabilities-wordpress/

There are some other options for commenting systems as well. The key here is you want something that’s going to replace the built in commenting system because the built-in system will use the template files in the theme. A third-party system (Disqus, IntenseDebate, LiveFyre, Jetpack) will replace the whole commenting system, and the templates, with their own.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have tried what you recommended, namely the enabling of Jetpack’s commenting system. Though unfortunately, it isn’t overriding my default comment system.

Can you tell me of a particular way to override it?

Many thanks,

I don’t know of any reason why the Jetpack commenting system wouldn’t be overriding the default commenting system (assuming it’s active in Jetpack). As I said, I’m using it with my blog and it’s working fine. I’d make sure in Jetpack that the Comments module is active and that the discussion settings are set correctly. Other than that, you might might try asking Jetpack support about it if you still have problems.

If the point is to get rid of the allowed tags message, CSS display none will do.

.form-allowed-tags { display: none; }

I have the same issue. Would love to getrid of the note on the bottom of the comment box that looks like this:

You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <abbr title=””> <acronym title=””> <b>

So, paulwpxp, where do I put the code you suggested above, and will it take that message off of the webpage I am working on.

Thanks for your help

Did you try the suggestions given in this thread?

@ DM3
That code would need to be added to the stylesheet (ideally in a child theme) or if you’re using Jetpack (or another plugin like My Custom CSS) in the custom CSS panel of that plugin.

Hi all,

Thank you for all your help. This really is a great support community.

I posted the provided code (thank you paulwpxp) into the jetpack CSS. I went for this option as I don’t have a child theme set up (I hope this doesn’t cause me issues down the line).

It worked perfectly.

Again, thank you all.

Jamie.

It shouldn’t ever cause issues down the line. All you’re doing is hiding that section that’s identified with the .form-allowed-tags class, which would only ever change (and therefore not work) if I changed it — which I won’t.

Okay, that’s great.

Thank you very much.
