Removing Commenting?

For my photo gallery, I would prefer to disable commenting. Is there an easy way to do this?

    It's an option in the admin options.

    I see...
    I finally found it. It's an a very inconvenient place: theme options.

    Hm, it is actually theme related since a theme must not support that option or comments at all. Where would you like to have that?
  • slythfox Member
    Well, in the comments section would be most logical. (Alternatively, it could be a default plugin, and you could turn it on/off that way.) But leaving it it where it is could work. I just didn't expect it. And now, I'm starting to wonder why I didn't see it before.

    I understand why, programming-wise, it is named "Allow_comments," but when it's being displayed to the user, don't you think that underscore should be replaced with a space. Even a simple str_replace("_", "", $setting) would probably work.

    It used to be called Allow comments (without the space). That must have got broken when the multi-lilngual stuff went in and we did not notice. If it is a bug causing this I will get it fixed for 1.2. If it is an omission I am afraid it will wait until after 1.2 since new text to be translated is frozen.

    Looks like we are all 'in luck'. The underscore is only in the Default theme. The other themes have got it right. So, that means the text string already exists and we can just fix the Default theme.
