 * What follows is a simple solution to a simple problem (which I couldn’t find 
   newbie information on).
 * The simplest and least fuss solution I could find to removing any links to comments
   at the bottom of WordPress 2 posts goes like this:
 * 1.In the file comment-functions.php (wp-includes\comment-functions.php) search
   for the function ‘comments_popup_link’ (without the brackets).
    2.Edit the variable
   $none so it has no text:
 * function comments_popup_link($zero=’No Comments’, $one=’1 Comment’, $more=’% 
   Comments’, $CSSclass=”, $none=”)
 * 3.When writing (or editing) the post ensure that the ‘Allow comments’ box in 
   the top most Discussion panel is not ticked.
 * Effectively WordPress is still displaying something, but that something is nothing.
   Make sense?
 * 🙂

 * Can you not just remove any of the comment related bits from the theme you’re
   using??
    You’ve probably got, somewhere in the main index page (you can check
   all this out in the Admin control panel under Presentation>Theme Editor, by the
   way) `comments_template()` and `comments_popup_link(__('No Comments'), __('1 
   Comment'), __('% Comments'), 'commentslink', __('Comments off'))` so just remove
   them… If you don’t have these then you’ll have no need for a comments template
   page either…

 * There was a post on this issue just not long ago! Don’t remove nothing yet, unless
   it’s told by a moderator or link provided…& go from there.. But I’d just comment
   out what ya don’t need..
 * And at this time, I’m not going to mention the stuff that needs it.. Because 
   I’m not going to be held responsible for errors..

 * cheesemasterdan – yes, that is a more sensible solution. Thanks! B
