    Hello, I would like to know how to Remove the Comment Bubble in SPI theme and simply add the comment count to the post meta section. I am using the latest version of the SPI (Smart Passive Income) theme. Can anyone show me how to do this? Thanks!

    That tutorial worked perfectly, except it left a green highlight on the comment count. I commented out the code on both php and css, so I'm not sure where it is getting this color from. Any thoughts?

    When i test it on a fresh copy locally, i don't get any background color for the comment link but i do see it being added inline when inspecting the link on your site. This could be done using the customizer or a plugin.

    I tested the Customizer settings for color and sure enough, that is what is causing it. Is there anyway to remove it without affecting all other links? Thanks for your help!

    Hello. I'm having the same issue removing those content bubbles. I followed the tutorial and ended up getting a bubble that now says "leave a comment" I would like to get rid of that bubble if possible. If anyone has another solution I would appreciate it. Here's a link to the site:

    There's a background color added to the .entry-comments-link via inline CSS as follows.

    .spi-customized button, .spi-customized input[type="button"], .spi-customized input[type="reset"], .spi-customized input[type="submit"], .spi-customized .archive-pagination a:focus, .spi-customized .archive-pagination a:hover, .spi-customized .archive-pagination .active a, .spi-customized .color .more-link, .spi-customized .site-container a.button, .spi-customized.archive .content .entry-comments-link, .spi-customized.page-template-page_blog .content .entry-comments-link, .spi-customized.single .content .entry-comments-link {
        background-color: #ce5a21;
    }
    

    There is no comment bubble.

    That background color is commented out, I believe. I'm not sure why it's showing up. Any ideas?
