    I have a plugin that automatically shuts off comments after a few days to help cut down on spam. After installing Lifestyle Pro theme, the comment links totally disappear after the comments are shut off. Is there a way to display the comment count even though the comments are off?

    You can modarate your comments or use spam protection instead of cutting off your comments it would define the purpose of having a blog. There are a number of good plugins that can accomplish this.

    Thank you, no. It's just a personal blog. I don't mind having the comments turned off after a certain date.

    I just want the comment link to still display after the comments are off. It seems quite odd that it would disappear.

    I figured it out, well I found a solution someone else helped me with on another theme. But FYI for anyone else: in the Genesis Simple Edits plugin simply change [post_comments] to [post_comments hide_if_off ="disabled"]
