Thesis Tutorials: Hide ‘Comments Are Closed’ Text

Thesis is an unbelievable theme and I would recommend it to anyone. Despite all the things that makes blogging extremely easy with Thesis, there are few things that are made needlessly difficult. For example, completely removing comments from pages that use the Thesis Custom Template is not possible because disabling comments won’t prevent the comment loop from executing.

As a result, every custom page in your blog, will have the “Comments on the Entry are Closed” message which looks bit annoying. So here’s a simple trick to hide this text to make your custom pages looks clean and professional.

How to Hide Comments on this entry are closed Message:

1. Login to your WordPress Admin panel and move over to Thesis panel and click Site Options.

2. Under Display Options, expand the Comments section, then uncheck the option for “If comments are closed, display a message” and click the save button.

That’s it. You are done. Now you have removed the ‘Comments are Closed’ Text in Thesis.

Note: The above method is for Thesis 1.7 users. If you’re using a version of Thesis prior to 1.7, then you can hide the message by adding this code in custom.css:

.custom .comments_closed p {
  display: none;
}
