Not showing comment link when comments are disabled

[drlaporte]

In a post, I would like to not display the link to comment (or the label 'comments closed') if the article is not set to accept comments.
Thks.

Turn it off then

Suffusion Options > Back End > Comment Settings

Explore the Suffusion options it is surprising what you will find.

Hi Colin,
yes, useful menu indeed, I discovered a few interesting things there...
However, I still get the "Comments closed" label, even if I select to hide it in the Post (

Thanks.

Without an url we really can't see what happen on your site - is the second options that works for everybody, but for you don't...

Have you disabled comments at Settings -> Discussion? Have you disabled comments for those particular posts/pages? Those particular posts/pages are regular post formats or some specific posts formats like "attachment", "video" and so on... because in last case there are another set of options for each post format at Suffusion Options -> Other Graphical Elements -> Post Formats.

Hello,

I rechecked the issue, and found out that the link is only in the list of posts, and NOT in the post when I open it.

If you want to look at the site, goto "drlaporte.fr/WordPress3/"

You have an example under the tab "Calendrier" (this is a category, and the pane simply lists all posts with this category set). There are 2 simple posts, with only text inside.

The first one you have "Commentaires fermés" (Closed comments), because in the article I both de-activated the comments and the retrolinks.

The second one, you have "Pas de commentaires" (No comments), because in the article I only de-activated the comments.

If you open any of the two posts, you have no longer the link. But it is still in the category post list, and I have not found a setting to disable that.

Thanks.

Pierre

Solution : in custom/post_header.php, when non singular post, only display when $post->comment_status == 'open', like for singular posts.


if (is_singular()) {
if (is_attachment()) {
...
}

if ('open' == $post->comment_status && ($post_show_comment == 'show' || $post_show_comment == 'show-tleft') && !$comments_disabled) {
?>
<span class="comments"><span class="icon">&nbsp;</span><a href="#respond"><?php _e('Add comments', 'suffusion'); ?></a></span>
<?php

}
}
else if ($post_show_comment == 'show' || $post_show_comment == 'show-tleft') {
if ($post->comment_status == 'open') {
?>
<span class="comments"><span class="icon">&nbsp;</span><?php comments_popup_link(__('No Responses', 'suffusion') . ' &#187;', __('1 Response', 'suffusion') . ' &#187;', __('% Responses', 'suffusion') . ' &#187;'); ?></span>
<?php
}
}
