Turning off comments or discussion - Leave A Reply still active/visible

[jnewman67]

Under Settings -> Event Organizer, under the "Select which features events should support", unchecking the Comments does not remove the Leave A Reply section of the event post - it remains visible and usable.

And turning off Discussions in the general settings doesn't affect this either.

Am I correct in thinking the either of those settings shoudl affect this section of the event post?

Hi @jnewman67

Your theme decides whether or not to display that section. If you are using a custom template then you can remove the comment section. If not you can either create one, or edit single.php to display the comment section only when it is not an event:

  if( !is_singular( 'event' ) ){
       //Comment section
  }

Thanks for the info.

Just to clarify - are you saying that the "Select which features events should support" EO setting doesn't actually control what it indicates it controls, or that the template I'm using is supposed to recognize these event settings and deal with them?

That make sense?

The option in the setting just registers with WordPress whether that post type (event) should support comments or not. The actual mark-up on your site will be due to the theme.

So unchecking that option "should" remove them from being display, IF the single.php file actually checks for that, correct?

On looking at this a bit more closely - the comments options appears to only toggle the discussion options for an event (i.e. if the event should support comments). So it appears that if you want to disable comments, you must first (via quick/bulk edit) turn off the comments for the events before disabling the comments option.

Not sure if this is intended behaviour for WordPress...
