Removing default bullet in ‘.postmetadata’ section

    Hi there,

    This is driving me insane and so I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could help.

    Previously I was able to remove the ugly default ‘>>’ bullets from my sidebar through my style.css file. But now I seem to have trouble removing some of the bullets from some other areas of my blog.

    Firstly I want to remove them from my ‘Comments’ and ‘No Comments’ headings in the .postmetadata section of a post. See here underneath each of my posts:
    http://www.grafikcache.com

    Secondly from the ‘Archives’ section where the headers say ‘Older Entries’ and ‘Newer Entries’. See here:
    http://www.grafikcache.com/?cat=3&paged=2

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have hit a wall with this one.

    The >> arrows are created by the html string ». To remove them from the Comments, for example, find the code (or similar code)

    comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »');

    in archive.php and delete the » bit. This function will be contained within ‘the loop’:

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Edit You will find the &raquo; for the “older entries” and “newer entries” in functions such as next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') and previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') in single.php. Note that as the arrows are pointing left the code is &laquo;.

    So I was successful in removing the >> arrows from all areas showing ‘Older Entries’ & ‘Newer Entries’, thanks to bsutcliffe’s response.

    But I still can’t seem to find the >> arrows to remove them from the .postmetadata section after the ‘No Comments’button.

    Anybody any ideas.

    You should find

    <?php comments_popup_link('No comments yet', '1 comment so far',
'% comments so far', 'comments-link', 'Comments are
closed for this post'); ?>

    or similar. Either where it says “No comments yet” it will have the &raquo; in the text or it will be after the PHP has closed.
