can you access the main HTML document?

the entire comment box is simply a div called "comments". If you remove the div from your header and the body in the HTML document it's gone.

try and add this to your css though. might work so that you dont mess have to mess with your whole theme and find where it is calling on your comment.php


body.page #comments {display:none;}


sorry for the million posts

this will work, not the best way but definitely the easiest way. You can get to the css by editing the theme i believe, haven't used wordpress in a while.

I never really used word press but I develope with joomla. Any decent CMS should have a setting somewhere on the backend to toggle the display of comment boxes. In joomla it would be located in the modules manager.

You could also do it removing the tag in the html template.

haha or if you really want to get ghetto with it add this line in the main css file.

#comments{
visibility: collapse;
height: 0px;
}

^this will work but as a developer I will laugh at you
