A few changes were done across the network. The unused plugins were deleted, the comments section in WordPress was removed, and the discussion link was changed.
Almost five plugins were installed on the network but unused by an blogs. Some of these plugins were replaced by other plugins, such as the Advanced Custom Fields and WordPress Post Tabs were replaced by the References plugin and Shortcodes Ultimate.
The comments section on the WordPress side of the network never matched the side of the XenForo installation. Rather than working through the CSS, it became easier to remove the section in the child theme.
Finally, the discussion link was modified by adding a span around the link.
[code] .xenword_discussion_link {font-size: larger;
}
[/code]
