Remove Comments from the Add and List page

[Mark]

I have comments turned off in the General tab but Comments are showing up in the Add and List page for the Community Events.

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately we don’t have this as an option now, but I’ve created a ticket to have it done in an upcoming version. For now, you can hide the comments form via CSS.

I hope that helps but let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I have an issue regarding the comments form display.

I don’t want the comment form to display on any of the CE form pages, so I used some CSS I thought would get rid of it. I added this to my tribe-events-community.css file, located in my theme/events/community folder:

#comments { display:none; }

That not only removes the comment form, but also the space it takes up. Unfortunately, it also removes the comment form from all my website’s posts and pages it should appear on.

How can I use CSS to remove the comments form just from CE form pages? If that’s not possible, what conditional might I add to my theme’s comments.php that will prevent the comments form from appearing on CE forms?

I realize a fix is on the to-do list, but I’d like to fix this, even if only temporarily, before presenting this feature to my visitors.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

I think I have a good interim solution for this. You can use the adjacent CSS selector (+) and target the .type-wp_router_page class which will be unique enough (I doubt any other plugin you have is going to be using WP Router) for now. Here’s the CSS:

.type-wp_router_page + #comments + #respond {
display: none;
}

This will hide just the respond form… In 1.0.1 we’ll have conditionals and body classes for the community pages so targeting things in CSS and applying custom code to community pages will be much easier!

I hope that has been helpful 🙂

Hi Jonah,

Thanks for that. The CSS you suggested didn’t work, but this did:

.type-wp_router_page + #comments {
display: none;
}

Sorry I don’t know how to put code in its own yellow block like you did. Is that something you can share?

Thanks again. The CSS works fine the way I edited it. For others, it may work differently, depending on your own theme.

Hi Jim,

Glad to hear that worked. You can wrap CSS and PHP (without PHP tags) in tags to get it showing in the yellow box.

Thanks,
Jonah

… code tags

Hey Jonah has this been addressed in the latest release of the community events addon?

[Jonah]

Hi Carlos,

I don’t believe so. I just got an update from one of the developers who was looking at it but it did not make it into 2.0.8. You’ll either need to apply the above workaround or wait for the next release. It should make it in by then. Thanks for your patience.

no luck with the above code…assuming I put it in the right place..in my case either the CE .CSS file or in my custom css Thesis file. It could be because I use DISQUS as a comment system instead of the default wordpress. I do know that DISQUS will disappear on my other pages/posts if I toggle comments in the page/posts options, but obviously that does not appear to be active with CE.

Hi Carlos,

The above code will likely not work with the DISCUS comment system and you will need to figure out how to hide it by targeting the div containing DISCUS instead.
