Styling a Comments Page in Flexform

[Shiftdialog]

Hi Flexform,

I am hoping you can help me with custom styling a Comments page differently.

Please see the PDF attached and let me know if the changes I want to make can be done.

Many thanks,
SD

Hi,
Please use this custom css code:-

.tags-link-wrap,.single .pagination-wrap {
    display: none !important;
}

Paste this code at functions.php of child theme:-

function crunchify_disable_comment_url($fields) { 
    unset($fields['url']);
    unset($fields['email']);
    return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','crunchify_disable_comment_url');

Thanks
Mohammad

Thank you, Mohammad!

Already looking better!

One question: I never did install the child theme. I don’t know anything about what a child theme is. Do I have to install it to make the functions.php edit you gave? Is it safe to install it now? My current site has been up for a while now.

Hi,

You should read this documentation
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

The child theme is inside our themeforest files. it should be installed and activated like any normal theme.
A child theme requires that the parent theme is installed, in this case Flexform theme.

If the functions.php doesn’t exist you will need to create it.

Let us know if you have doubts.

Thanks, Rui,

I read the Codex on the child theme. Can you confirm if this is what I do?
1. FTP child theme to wp-content/themes folder
2. ensure it is named “flexform-child”
3. create a clean functions.php file
4. after the opening tag (<?php), put the code, above, in the php file and nothing else
5. save it to that child folder, which already has a style.css file in it

Nothing else?

OR
3b. should I copy the parent theme’s functions.php file, keep all of the content inside it, and then put the new code at the end of the content?

Please let me know – I am confused about this part.
Many thanks,
sd

Your 5 steps are correct the functions.php should be empty just with the php tags inside. Like this

<?php 

?>

Placing the code provided above between the tags.
Instead the ftp process you can just install the child theme like any normal theme. Don’t forget to activate the child theme.

Hope it helps.

Rui Urgent: my main menu disappeared. What should I do?

sd

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

That’s normal when you activate the child theme for the first time, just go again to appearance-> menus and assign again the menus.

Menu restored. Phew!!! Thanks for responding so fast, Rui. I noticed that a child theme cannot be deactivated. Is that true?

I’ll go through the site to make sure nothing else was affected. Is there anything else I should look out for?

The child theme should be active, the menu’s were the only thing I forgot about it.
Just double check the widgets just in case you have them in Appearance-> Widgets

A virtual heart attack feels exactly the same as a real one. Who knew!? 🙂

The widgets are all there.

You’re a valued ally. Thank you, Rui.

It’s better not to find out about the heart attack.
Thanks for the kind words, glad it’s sorted.
