The <a href="http://wpjumpstart.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Jump Start</a> theme had a feature for adding banners to pages and posts in v2.0. However, in v2.1 this feature was removed in favor of a better system of implementing the standard WordPress featured image for a similar effect. For those that want to continue relying on the previous banner feature, this plugin restores that functionality in Jump Start 2.1+.

Jump Start Banners

Restores the banner functionality from Jump Start v2.0, when updating to v2.1+.

This is a simple plugin that allows you to disable comments being submitted to your WordPress site, but still present the natural look of your theme’s comment form.
This plugin isn’t meant for the average WordPress user, but it’s great, for example, if you have a demo site for a WordPress theme. With this plugin activated, people visiting your demo site will be able to preview the look of the comment form of your theme; however, it will not allow anyone to submit a comment. This way, you don’t end up with a WordPress theme demo site with a thousand pending comments.
Here’s a basic example from our <a href="http://wpjumpstart.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Jump Start</a> demo; submit a comment to test:
