Title: Remove comments Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Remove comments * [staralexander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/staralexander/) * (@staralexander) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/) * On the Raindrops Theme. Please tell me how to remove the code so that comments do not show up on any pages. I attempted to do so first from the Dashboard in the Settings (under Discussion) I unchecked the “Allow People to Post comments” but that doesn’t work! * Thank you!

Replace this code with this(you just have to comment it out.) * and the comment will go away . whenever you want to activate comments again just remove these two backslashes * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609006) * If you want to do the above, please be sure to use a child theme – otherwise your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated… * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * [sayed2x2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayed2x2/) * (@sayed2x2) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609007) * Creating a child theme is always a good idea but Its just a matter of two backslashes, if the theme gets update she can do it again. * Theme Author [nobita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nobita/) * (@nobita) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609101) * Hi staralexander * Are you need remove comments ? * Using Raindrops child theme. * Example code below , but I’m not test. You must do test. * Create file child-theme/comments.php code below. * ``` ``` * Create filter child-theme/functions.php code below. * ``` /* remove posted on comment link */ add_filter( 'raindrops_posted_on', 'my_theme_remove_comments' ); (.*)?!'; $result = preg_replace( $regex, '', $posted_on ); return $result; } ?> ``` * Thank you. * Aside * ``` /* Raindrops No need import rules like below*/ @import url('../twentyten/style.css'); ``` * Automatic include * Thread Starter [staralexander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/staralexander/) * (@staralexander) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609140) * Thanks to you all who responded, especially. sayed2x2! I knew there was a place to edit out the comments, that it should be an easy fix… I just didn’t know which. php file it was… Thanks so much! * Thread Starter [staralexander](https://wordpress.org/support/users/staralexander/) * (@staralexander) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609141) * So, I am a little confused as to whether I - need * to create a child theme. It seems this may be the case… * I have another site that I made a month or so ago, (also using the Raindrops theme) so if I have to create a child theme, and I want everything to stay the way it is now, can I just make a total copy of the current ‘parent’ theme so that all my changes are included in the new child theme? * Theme Author [nobita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nobita/) * (@nobita) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-comments-7/#post-3609143) * > make a total copy of the current ‘parent’ theme so that all my changes are > included in the new child theme? * Full copied Raindrops child theme may be work. * copied Raindrops style.csss chenge below. * ``` Template: raindrops ``` * But above setting is equal ‘not update’. * I want you to minimize. * Full copied child theme check is not each update testing.
