How to remove WordPress comment system?

[maheshone]

Hi,

I've recently migrated my blog's (http://www.minterest.org/) comment system to Disqus and it's working fine. But I've noticed that a glimpse of WordPress Comment System is shown just before Disqus.

I asked their support team and they told me that...

The wordpress comment system will display on your page before Disqus rendered, to change this behavior you would need to edit your WordPress theme to not show comments on the page.

So how do I do that?

Have you tried disabling comments in the Genesis settings? Genesis > Theme Settings > Comments and Trackbacks.

Yes, I just tried disabling comments and trackbacks... It disabled both wordpress comment system and disqus comment system. 🙁

Try adding this to your functions.php file to remove the genesis_get_comments_template action:

remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_get_comments_template' );

Thanks for the response...

I have tried some options like that before.. and tried the code that you provided me... but it's removing the comment system as a whole... I mean it disabled WordPress comments and Disqus comments.

Looking at your site and all I'm seeing is Disqus. Not seeing what is in your screenshot or any remnants of the default WP comments.

Hi,

I added the code that you provided and it removed both disqus and wp comments.. so reversed those changes...

You can check this:

It's a screenshot of the page http://www.minterest.org/how-to-recover-from-google-penalties/. As you can see.. the disqus comment also shows the same comments.. but here i can see a quick glance of wp comments for a few seconds before disqus starts loading...

It sounds like Disqus requires the default WP comments to be displayed in order to display Disqus, and as they mention, it will show default WP comments while the page loads then it will be replaced with Disqus.

You can probably hide the default comments section with CSS to prevent it from showing in the browser while the page loads:

.entry-comments {display: none;}

Hi,

I will try this as well.. and btw... I asked disqus team and they told me that.. removing wp-comments file from the home directory will solve the problem.. but it didn't work for me....

And they also suggested the code to reomove comments from the theme.. and again it didnt work...

Also, I'm using Google PageSpeed Service CDN but they told me that their service is compatible with PSS... So absolutely clueless about this issue...

Anyways, I will try your trick and update here tomorrow.
