Removing comments from the Wordpress Twenty Fourteen theme

To permanently remove comments from the Wordpress Twenty Fourteen theme, the file you will want to edit is:

/themes/twentyfourteen/single.php

 Within this file, you will find the following code which you can either delete or comment out:


// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
 if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
  comments_template();
 }
Now, there is also meta info for each content type which will list the number of comments next to the date the post was posted on under the title of each post.  You'll like want to remove this reference as well (otherwise, they will all say 0 comments).

To do so, open up the content-.php file in the theme folder.  For example, on a site I did this on, I edited the content-image.php file.

Look for the div with the class "entry-meta" and delete the line referencing "comments" within that div.  Just cull those lines.

How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run  Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run. The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome. ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is: Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run  box.  Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) It'll look something like this: Click Run .  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.
