I’m quite fussy when choosing suppliers and service providers.
I’d been wanting to make a subtle tweak to my blog for months.
I’d tried Googling for a solution but without success.
I’d tried various plugins but they didn’t work.
I’d read (and learned, first-hand) that people don’t like reading or interacting with blogs that look ‘dead’.
Which is why I’d wanted to get rid of the “0 Comments” bit, where I’ve turned off comments:

I’ve been a satisfied customer of Elegant Themes* for years.
I used their live chat facility last night.
I wrote two lines, and saw that a reply could take a while.

I wrote back with the issue I was struggling with.
Pankaj replied with this:
In order to hide 0 comments, please go to your WordPress Dashboard > Divi > Theme Options > Integration > Head Section and add the following:
<script>
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
jQuery(‘.post-meta’).each(function(){
thisMeta = jQuery(this).html();
thisMeta = thisMeta.replace(/ \| 0 Comments/g,”);
jQuery(this).html(thisMeta);
});
});
</script>Let me know if this works! 😀
It works like a dream.
And there’s no way I’d have worked that out for myself.
