Hi Daniel,

Thanks for writing in!

The edit icon and the reply icon were hard coded in the Comments form. It is also dependent according to which start that you are using.

To remove it, simply use one of this respective code according to the stack that you used in the site. You can add the code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

function noicon_comment_reply( $args ) {
  $args['reply_text'] = __( 'Reply' );
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'comment_reply_link_args', 'noicon_comment_reply' );

function noicon_comment_edit_text($link){
  $link = '<a class="comment-edit-link" href="' . esc_url( get_edit_comment_link( $comment ) ) . '">Edit</a>';
  return $link;
}
add_filter( 'edit_comment_link', 'noicon_comment_edit_text' );

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.
