# remove html code from under comment box

 * I reviewed several comments and can’t seem to resolve this.
    Here’s the code 
   on what I believe is the comment box. However, I have a comment form to contact
   me on the page as well. I’m no expert in php.
 * Help!!
 * <?php
    /** * Handles Comment Post to WordPress and prevents duplicate comment
   posting. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/) WordPress*/
 * if ( ‘POST’ != $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_METHOD’] ) {
    header(‘Allow: POST’); header(‘
   HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed’); header(‘Content-Type: text/plain’); exit; }
 * /** Sets up the WordPress Environment. */
    require( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-
   load.php’ );
 * nocache_headers();
 * $comment_post_ID = isset($_POST[‘comment_post_ID’]) ? (int) $_POST[‘comment_post_ID’]:
   0;
 * $post = get_post($comment_post_ID);
 * if ( empty($post->comment_status) ) {
    do_action(‘comment_id_not_found’, $comment_post_ID);
   exit;

 * What theme are you using? It’s generally easier to just hide that text using 
   CSS – a link to your site would be necessary to look at that.
 * EDIT – beat out by 30 seconds! Must be that slick new machine, Seacoast :)!

 * try to add to style.css of your theme:
    `.form-allowed-tags { display: none; }`
 * or edit comments.php _**of your theme**_, find the line with `comment_form();`
   
   and change to: `comment_form(array('comment_notes_after' => ''));`
 * what you posted is likely a core file which should not be edited.

 * My site is Paws for Reflection at [http://www.bjbangs.net](http://www.bjbangs.net)
 * Using ChipZero theme.
 * Do you mean enable CSS in the theme itself under options?? Which pages should
   I be looking at??

 * if you are referring to my suggestions, you will need to either add the suggested
   style to style.css of your theme; for instance by editing _style.css _under _**
   dashboard – appearance – editor**_
 * or edit comments.php under _**dashboard – appearance – editor**_ and locate `
   comment_form();` near the end of the file; and change it.

 * Hey thanks so much. This worked and was simple and slick. No more ugly HTML code
   under my theme. Next is to figure out how to do a landing page as a home page
   with my most recent post and how to link flickr or photobucket, picassa photos
   as a featured image. Any suggestions??
