Child Theme
Consulta comes with a Child Theme.
Simply install Consulta_Child.zip like a regular WordPress theme.
What is a Child Theme?
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
Why use a Child Theme?
If you modify an existing theme and it is updated, your changes will be lost. With a child theme, you can update the parent theme (which might be important for security or functionality) and still keep your changes. It’s a great way to get started if you are just learning WordPress theme development.

Disable Comments
Comments are enabled on WordPress by default. You can change this default for new posts or pages you’ll publish in the future, as well as change it for posts or pages you already published.
To change the defaults for new posts or pages, go to Settings → Discussion.
To disable comments on an existing post/page/project, open it up for editing. Now beneath the main content area, you should see a box labeled “Discussion”. Simply uncheck both boxes and save your changes.
What if you can’t see the discussion box?
Then you need to click the “Screen Options” tab in the upper right corner of your screen and check the box to enable the discussion module. You still need to close the tab and navigate to the bottom of the page and uncheck “Allow Comments” in the discussion module.
