Removing and editing

Hello!
On our site we wanted to remove or change some features of this theme, that we don’t want to be visible.

First off, we want to remove comments from our front-end site. We already removed them with a WP plugin from the Post Page itself, but there are still references to it on the Horizontal News Block (Page builder) (http://prntscr.com/4xhco6) and in the Popular Posts widget (http://prntscr.com/4xhcxr). We don’t want neither the link to the comment, neither the comment icon, just the calendar icon and the date.

The next problem are breadcrumbs (http://prntscr.com/4xhdg9) which we don’t really want to remove but rather translate. Our pages and menues have got the right name – this doesn’t.

Also is there a way to disable the love “<3” heart feature on posts? If there is, then how?

And the last problem, that I have, is that I can’t rename or translate certain things, such as the “Read More” button (http://prntscr.com/4xhf0i) on the Blog style News Block (Page builder). I have searched for the buttons text it via Google Chrome’s View-Source feature, found it in many files of the theme, respectively changed them to what I wanted, but they didn’t change (I’ve edited index.php, tmp-blog-full.php, tmp-blog-isotope.php, tmp-blog-left.php and tmp-blog-right.php as suggested from the ohter thread but it didn’t work).

I have searched all of the themes files but even after looking for these features I either didn’t find them or if I changed them, it didn’t even show up or changed anything.

We’re using WordPress 4.0, and all of our files have the 755 permission on our FTP server.

Thank you for the support and the really good theme.
