Hello.

I'm using GP Premium for my website: http://www.theblumenthalgolfreport.com

I DON'T want readers to be able to leave comments. So I went to Customizing/Layout/Blog and UNCHECKED "Display Comment Count."

That DID remove the small "comment" icon below the post.

However, if you click the post's headline or feature image, a new page opens and beneath the post is the large "Leave a Comment" box, "Post Comment" button, Akismet stuff, etc.

How do I remove ALL of this comment-related stuff. Again, I don't want the reader to have the ability to leave comments.

Thank you.

Hi there,

it is a WordPress function. Go to your Posts, and select All and Bulk Edit there is an option for Comments - set this to disallow and save.

This guide provides a lot of details on managing comments:
