Topic: Removing speech bubbles/no comments & resizing "new posts" cat. boxes

Hello,

I want to use CG for my portfolio page without community/user participation - just as a show case.
though I prepared everything to eliminate comment features via WP I still fight with some artifacts
of those features:

Question 1:

Is it possible to remove the speech bubbles and seperating pipe from the featured posts, so that only the category
name is showing up?

Is it possible to deactivate the display of "No Comments"  in the "Featured Slideshow" scroll bars and the "New Posts"
display (I use display type: per line)?



Question 2:

My categories sometimes break the given space.
Though I already found the explanation how to resize the sub menus I still haven't found a hint where to customize settings
for the dark category boxes showing up with the display type: per line for "New Posts".

Is there a way to do this so I can stretch the box dimensions a bit to avoid certain categories showing up stacked in three lines?

Thumbs up

Re: Removing speech bubbles/no comments & resizing "new posts" cat. boxes

Answer #1:

Include this in user.css:

.posts-default .entry-subcat  { border-right: 0; padding-right: 0; margin-right: 0; }
.posts-default .entry-comments, .posts-line .post .entry-comments, .scrollable .posts .entry-comments  { display: none; }

Change these two lines in /library/home.php (around line 32 and 33) from:

<span class="entry-info" style="display: none"><?php the_time( __('d F Y g:i A', 'arras') ); ?> | 
                            <?php comments_number( __('No Comments', 'arras'), __('1 Comment', 'arras'), __('% Comments', 'arras') ); ?></span>

to:

<span class="entry-info" style="display: none"><?php the_time( __('d F Y g:i A', 'arras') ); ?></span>

Answer #2: Include this in user.css. You can adjust the width wherever you need:

.posts-line .post .entry-cat  { width: 150px; }

Re: Removing speech bubbles/no comments & resizing "new posts" cat. boxes

This is the closest I've found to the answer I am looking for, so I figured I'd post in here...

How can I get the Comments part in the featured stories subtitles to be replaced with the category listing? I basically do not want the comment count to show up on the homepage for each post in the featured stories. If possible, I'd like to replace that with one or two categories it is posted under.

Thanks!

I made the suggested change in user.css
But on a page that archives a category, I still see "No Comments" just after the date/time of a post. Where would I go to remove that? Thanks.

All your questions are possible. And yes, Zy has answered all of it. That really helps. Just some tweaking on css and adding of important attributes and your good to go!
