Removing comments

[karlo]

I can see this work but just thought it would be best to get a nod! I have learned that just because something seems to work it does not mean is smart!

// Remove comments 
function themeblvd_show_comments() {
	global $post;
	$show = true;
	if( is_single() ) {
		if( themeblvd_get_option( 'single_comments', null, 'show' ) == 'hide' )
			$show = false;
		if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_tb_comments', true ) == 'hide' )
			$show = false;
		else if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_tb_comments', true ) == 'show' )
			$show = true;
		// My chunk 
		if ( has_post_format ( 'link' ) || has_post_format ( 'quote' ) || has_post_format ( 'status' ) || has_post_format ( 'video' ) || in_category ( 106 )) 
			$show = false;
	}
	return $show;
}

I did not know this function so went looking for native tricks but as it often goes there is no clear message and I get confused.

Also I wil pimp Jumpstart harder if you add this to BBpress CSS 🙂

.bbp-topic-content pre {
    overflow: auto;
    white-space: pre;
}

You’re just talking about the comments and comment form on single posts? There’s actually a nifty little filter in the theme you can use to show/hide comments. It’s on the “themeblvd_global_config” array — It only exists in single.php and page.php, so there’s no need to check for is_single().

function my_global_config( $setup ){
	
	if( $whatever ) 
		$setup['comments']['posts'] = false;
	
	return $setup;
	
}
add_filter( 'themeblvd_global_config', 'my_global_config' );

Thanks. I will check.

Would also be odd if there only was one way of achieving goal! Unheard of 🙂

Works perfectly. Part of docs too
