Tried both options, the latter one first but that didn't work for me. However the first option worked a treat, no comments. Is this normal to have comments on pages or have I missed something in the Docs?</p> <p>Can't thank you enough.<br /> Steve </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/comments-on-pages#post-17507 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:18:06 +0000 helgatheviking 17507@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>doing some more research on my own themes... i discovered you can kill the metabox bubbles for comments on the backend too... via remove_post_type_support</p> <pre><code>/* Remove Comments */ function remove_comments(){ if(is_page()){ remove_action(&#39;thematic_comments_template&#39;,&#39;thematic_include_comments&#39;,5); } remove_post_type_support( &#39;page&#39;, &#39;comments&#39; ); //totally disable comments in backend } add_action(&#39;init&#39;,&#39;remove_comments&#39;);</code></pre> <p>in my first reply i added the action to template_redirect. i often do that so i can get conditionals to work for is_page_template(), but to use remove_post_type support you have to add it to init </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/comments-on-pages#post-17506 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 19:53:45 +0000 helgatheviking 17506@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>i think this is what you are after:</p> <pre><code>/* Remove Comments */ function remove_comments(){ if(is_page()){ remove_action(&#39;thematic_comments_template&#39;,&#39;thematic_include_comments&#39;,5); } } add_action(&#39;template_redirect&#39;,&#39;remove_comments&#39;);</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/comments-on-pages#post-17505 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 17:47:23 +0000 stever 17505@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi Guys, new to Thematic, well done Ian this is a work of art.</p> <p>I have 0.9.7.7 Thematic installed, working very well. I can see from the page templates in Thematic they call for the comment template, and hence my child theme pages have comments. All the posts I have seen on the forum have been about page comments going missing, requiring the comment/comment custom field to enable them. In reverse how do I get rid of them for pages only, not posts? </p> <p>I can see that I could remove the call for the comments template in my child theme page templates, but is this the correct way to do it? Or have I missed something very simple here? Because that's happened before! </p>
