Comment box issue, Please help

anyone?

I’m not seeing it.

it is in the center, has a white top and a black body, and you can’t see the text, you have to highlight it because it is black. just says “comments are closed” i have turned off comments in the options menu, and i have also turned off comments on the specific page

here is a ss of it

anyone else got any ideas? =D

anyone? sorry i keep posting on here, it is the only way to keep it where people can see it lol =D thanks for all the help!

I’m looking at the page, and I see the box now. Normally the comment box wouldn’t appear on the main page but only on the single.php page. I guess my question is, was the content of that page created, as a post?

no it was made as a page.

you just need to open up your comments.php file and remove that line.

i have deleted the line that says comments are closed, but it still has the box. could you be more specific as to what i need to delete please?

So, it is stored in the WP database as a page, correct? If that is the case you should be able to edit your page.php in your theme directory and find where the comment section begins. I don’t know how comfortable you are in editing those files, (MAKE BACKUPS) but you should be able to remove or comment out that section.

yes that is how it is stored. are you talking about in the actual theme folder there should be a page.php?

That’s correct.

Okay, you’ve deleted the *text*, but you didn’t delete the formatting around it. You forgot to get rid of:

<div class=”postinput”>
<p class=”nocomments”>Comments are closed.</p>
</div>

Of you don’t want it to show, then you have to get rid of that. Of course, if you delete it completely, then when comments *aren’t* closed, it won’t have the box, either. So you need to use an if statement. I don’t know what your code looks like, though, so I can’t tell you exactly what to put.

to actorjiml : i do not see a page.php

to doodlebee : here is my code:

COMMENTS

FYI : there will never be a need for comments as i am making a custom forum. so i can completely get rid of them =D
