Hello,

I am following the directions to unable the ‘Leave a Reply’ or comments from my homepage (Settings, Discussion) and even though I deleted the text ‘Leave a Reply’, it keeps coming back. I want to use the site as a portfolio, not a blog.

Any other way to do this?

Thanks!
Jen

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,

All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion

Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

Hi! Thanks for the quick response! I’ve tried everything and the ‘Leave a Replay on my homepage remains. Any other tricks? Do I have to go in CSS (I am not a coder!) Is it in the design?

This isn’t a matter of any trick at all. What I posted above is correct for all the free themes. We Volunteers don’t have access to premium themes and cannot work with them in our test blogs. However, as your theme is a premium theme, part of what you purchased is support direct from the theme’s designer in the premium theme support forum at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/arcade

Premium Themes

Thanks very much! I was in touch with the Designer this morning and he seems to think I do not have a premium theme … I can’t log into his forum… I have emailed him again.

Thanks for your help,

Jen

You do not email him at all. You do as I directed and post to the WordPress.com premium theme support forum at http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/arcade
