I’d like to get rid of avatars on wordpress comments but haven’t figured out how to do that. If you know the file or lines to edit I would be grateful?
Should be comments.php. Not sure on the line number, but if you post the content of that file I will take a look. 
Remove the comments section in single.php :lightbulb
Thanks, here’s the comments file
<?php
/**

// Do not delete these lines
if (!empty($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]) && ‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))
die (‘Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!’);
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
<?php
return;
}
?>

That I could do, but then it removes the whole comments section which is not the purpose. I only want to remove those avatar images.
Ah yes, wordpress 2.x’s “wp_list_comments()” upgrade.
Basically, it sets the template. It can be useful, particularly for newbies, but I think it’s a pain.
Nevertheless, to remove avatars easily, I’d open up your style.css, and put this right at the bottom:-
.avatar
{
display:none;
}
Should do the trick.
That worked, thanks rhysboy84. It still shows on source code but it seems too complicated to start removing it from there.
Yes. Wordpress recently switched to a format that the comment code was automatically generated, including the avatars. Why I have no idea. But 99 times out of 100 the solution I posted will suffice
This is a simple question …
In the default folder, find comments.php change.
Or if you do not want to comment, put <? Php comments_template ();?> Get rid of.
