    Hi, Broadsheet theme, loving it…

    How to remove “(leave a comment)” from the byline/tagline under every post headline?

    screenshot of the problem

    If not possible to remove then at least remove the brackets, it looks a bit unfinished/accidental.

    Cheers!

    James

    Hi James – thanks for the message. Did you manage to hide these? I don’t see the ‘leave a comment’ prompt on your site.

    Thanks – Ben

    Hi Ben, thanks – I could remove them by turning off comments for each post. But is there a way to keep comment function but remove these from the frontpage bylines/taglines?
    Cheers

    Ah ha – I couldn’t see the html so I assumed there was a different way to disable it.

    In that case you can hide the content with a small bit of custom css. The following should do it:

    .postmetadata .commentcount, .postmetadata .sep { display: none; }

    There’s some info on custom css here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

    Cheers – Ben

    Cheers,
