Can’t cancel comments in CPT

    Hi, I created a CPT (via a one-function plugin I wrote) without support for comments, and I still get a comments section in my custom posts.

    I even tried to remove comments support with a function in a child theme’s functions.php:

    function remove_chapters_comments() {
	remove_post_type_support( 'Chapters', 'comments' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_chapters_comments', 1 );

    It doesn’t work. Nothing I do removes the comments option from the CPT. Even under Appearance > Customize > Blog > Single Post, if I click on the eye icon next to “comments”, it only cancels them out in regular posts, not in the CPT.

    How do I cancel comments on my CPT??

    Thanks

    Hello, you have to create a file in your child theme.
    Create a folder “partials”, in this folder, create another folder named “single”, create a php file named “layout-chapters.php”, this file will be the contents of your cpt.
    Take example on “oceanwp/partials/single/layout.php”, for example for your cpt, you can enter this code in your file:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/BlogPosting">

	<?php
	// Get posts format
	$format = get_post_format();

	// Featured Image
	if ( ! post_password_required() ) {

		$format = $format ? $format : 'thumbnail';
		
		get_template_part( 'partials/single/media/blog-single', $format );

	}

	// Title
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/header' );

	// Meta
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/meta' );

	// Content
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/content' );

	// Tags
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/tags' );

	// Social Share
	if ( OCEAN_EXTRA_ACTIVE ) {
		do_action( 'ocean_social_share' );
	}

	// Next/Prev
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/next-prev' );

	// Author Box
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/author-bio' );

	// Related Posts
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/related-posts' ); ?>

    Hi,
    Thank you for your response! Your theme is great.

    How is this layout.php template different than the one in the original theme?
    Anyway, I will try doing what you suggested tonight and will update on the results.

    Thanks!

    Hello, thank you. This one is different because there is no comment box ??

    Hey,
    Thank you, I got it to work! After going over the files I noticed it wasn’t working because I was editing the wrong layout file… I created my new layout file before in ‘partials/entry/’. Now that I created the new file in ‘partials/single’ and changed the reference in single-chapters.php it works fine.

    I do have a follow-up question – for some reason, I don’t see the “next post” and “previous post” links in my CPT single posts… Is there anything I need to do in the theme settings to make them show up? Thanks!
