How to Delete Threaded Comments in Blogger

There are two levels of comments, Single level and two levels commenting. Single level commenting allow a reader to write a comment on the post and two levels commenting is the original comment and replies to that comment. Blogger is supporting two levels commenting.

Threaded comments allow a reader to reply another reader on the post.

You can avoid this feature and delete the threaded comments, today I'll tell you how?

Here is the procedure to avoid this feature:

Firstly, you have to go to your blogger 'Dashboard', then 'Template' and finally 'Edit HTML'.
Now check the 'Expand Widget Templates' option on the top of the page.
Now Search the following code with 'CTRL+F'

<b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>

Then you will see this complete code:

<b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>
        <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>

You'll find this code twice, you have to remove this code twice and replace it twice with following code:

<b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
               <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
                     <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>

        </b:if>
