Sorry I could not find the mentioned code in the link that you gave me. my wp_content/themes/conundrum/index.php
does not have that code. This is how it looks:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”toplines”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> ~ <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>

<table cellspacing=”0″ id=”content”>

<tr>
<td id=”left”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<div class=”left_bgcolour”>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”posts_dateline”>Posted: <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by <?php the_author() ?></div>
<div class=”posts”><?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?></div>
</div>
<div class=”posts_bottomline”>Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> ~ <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ‘ ~ ‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

<h2><div style=”float: right;”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></div>
<?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?></h2>

<?php else : ?>

<div class=”left_bgcolour”>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<div class=”posts”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
</div>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

</td>
<td> </td>

<td id=”right”><?php get_sidebar(); ?><br><br>Latest topics in forum <br>

<?php feedList(array(“rss_feed_url”=>”https://mysite.com/forum/forum_backend.php?id=23&type=333&feed_id=71&no_cache=1&#8221;,
“num_items”=>15,
“show_description”=>false,
“random”=>false,
“sort”=>”none”,”new_window”=>true));
?>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You probably want to remove:
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?>

You also might want to rename or remove the wp-comments-post.php file, so spammers can’t directly force spam into the system.

Note that if you allow trackbacks (and have wp-trackback.php) and pingbacks, spam can still get into your system…

could you please let me know how to disable trackback also?

thanks,

And also, if I click on a post, the new page with the post has stuff to put a comment like message body, name, email ID etc. How can I remove that also?

anybody please?
