If so: 1. Open Firebug on http://www.elio.me/index.php/archives/category/news-updates 2. Inspect one of the links saying "No comment" 3. Switch to the Style side panel 4. Hover the first rule's source link (news-updates #2) => It shows you http://www.elio.me/index.php/archives/category/news-updates => So you know the style is defined directly inside the HTML output, not in a separate CSS file Now that's where Firebug can't help you anymore: 5. Search for .post .metadata a in your PHP sources => There's the point where the CSS is defined > It tells me this but I see no archives folder. > > <a class="post_comments" href="http://www.elio.me/index.php/archives/ > 1812#comments <http://www.elio.me/index.php/archives/1812#comments>">No > comment</a> > Please note, that a URL doesn't always represent the file path on the server. For example they can use URL rewriting<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_engine>to hide the server files and or to make the URL more readable. Though in this case I guess (I am not familiar with WordPress code) index.php is called, which interprets the appended /archives/1812#comments and reads the contents from a database. > > I use a plug-in to remove COMMENTS but in their theme there is one> > place that the plug-in does not work. > > > > Which plugin?

But please note again, that what you're asking for is unrelated to Firebug. So if you still can't find the places you want to edit inside the PHP scripts, I really suggest you to ask the people behind that WordPress plugin you use or in the general WordPress forum <http://wordpress.org/support/>.
