[Theme: Liquorice] Comment.php Modified, Sidebar Disappeared

    I’m trying to modify a wordpress theme so that if I disable commenting on the page/post, nothing show up (I want to make the ‘comment is currently closed’ tag to go away). This is the original php file https://pastebin.com/RBQqW9mn .

    I made some modification (tuck the H2 element into the if block, so if it’s not true, then the message won’t show), and this is the current php file https://pastebin.com/sr88Dk9z . After I saved the file, the sidebar just disappeared, why? I don’t see a single line of code that relates to the sidebar.

    PS: in addition, where is the code for the current widget. This theme has only one widget, but I don’t see any register widget function in functions.php (I probably need to replicate it to create a second widget)

    Edit: I should be a little more precise, the sidebar just disappeared on the page where comment was disabled. However, on the page where comment is enabled, the sidebar shows.

    Why not just identify the selector for the “comments is currently closed” text in the CSS and do a display: none; ?

    It looks like this would do it.

    .nocomments {
display: none;
}

    I thought about that as well, but does .nocomment selector also hide the “No Comments” line?

    The edit function disappeared? Anyway, I guess I will just post a new reply here. I changed the code from

    <?php else : // Comments are closed ?>
<p><?php  _e('Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.') ; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

    I used inline CSS and changed it to the following:

    <?php else : // Comments are closed ?>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
h2 #comments, ol #commentlist {
	display: none;
}
</style>
<?php /*echo "<p>" . _e('Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.') . "</p>";*/ ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Still not working, even though I do see the inline CSS show up (perhaps because it’s processed after the <h2> tags?)

    I guess I didn’t need the comment to show up on pages, so I just disabled comment_template on the page.php. Wasn’t really a perfect solution, but I will stick to it for now.
