Upgraded IE to version 11 in my Win 7 64 bit installation.
Bushwick now displays properly in IE 11.

Hi angler80,
I haven’t upgraded my various WordPress sites to Mantra ver 1.9.5.1 yet.
What position is this new Navigation bar ? Just below the banner?
I looked at the ‘preview’ of 1.9.5.1 on the Cryout Creations site and the rounded upper corner tabs directly below the banner (I think those are what you are referring to) look exactly like the version 1.7.5 that I’m currently using.
But perhaps there is another nav bar you are referring to?
Let me know the details and I’ll try to help.

Japh,
Got the official solution from the guys at Cryout Creations.
There’s actually a setting in the Theme Settings->Graphics dashboard which is a pull-down with four options for controlling the “Comments are closed.” text. The options are Show, Hide in Posts, Hide in Pages, Hide Everywhere.
Not sure if the previous hard code fixes worked for an older version of the Theme, the one I’m currently using is ver 1.74.
Something sure is overriding those line edits/removals in comments.php in my installation. Not browser cache, not WordPress site cache. I haven’t drilled into it too deep with Firebug yet. I did try to do an element inspect in DW CS5.5 but I couldn’t get it to show me the php-echo statements which must be building the page.

Japh,
I just did the same edit as you suggested to judetheobscure in the Mantra theme and it worked for the first browse, then after going away from the site and coming back, the text is back. It’s not a cache issue with the browser but where else could that text be invoked? I’ve searched the entire directory of the installation but that’s the only place (in comments.php)
that it was.
Thanks,
-Mike
