Comment count under each post

You add a call to the function comments_number to your template.

Thank you, I will try to figure that out.

tried it. but there was no change. Take a look at my coding please. I did this in the comments.php file. Perhaps I put it in the wrong spot.

Here’s my coding https://wordpress.pastebin.com/K32UgdBs

Perhaps I’m not explaining myself correctly. I would like the count to show somewhere next to the “LEAVE A COMMENT” link. You should be able to see the comment count w/out having to click into the post.

Thanks

It needs to go in the template that is used to display the posts – probably index.php, depending on your theme.

then i would add it within this section? is that correct?

OK it worked pretty well,not perfectly, OK, i wanted to attach a screen shot but couldn’t figure out how to do it.
” Link To Full Post Tweet Article Tweet Article Leave A Comment”
Then I have a dividing line & then this line underneath it.

“This post currently has one response.”

I would like to get just a #1 or 1 – response somewhere next to the words “LEAVE A COMMENT”

Thanks for your help

Really hard to tell without seeing more of the code, but I would try it like this:

A Comment"); ?></a></p>
<p>This post currently has
<?php comments_number('no responses','one response','% responses'); ?>.</p>

BTW, what did you get when you put the code in comments.php? Did you see the ‘This post currently has’ text?

OK I will try what you said now. And yes I am getting TEXT totally spelling it out “THIS POST HAS ONE RESPONSE” First off, I would like to change the word response to comment, can I do that ?
Thanks

oops that didn’t work well at all. Now I’m getting coding that people can see. Here’s my site can you possibly take a look. https://orgelphotography.com/index2.php/

Thanks loads

Change the word ‘response’ to ‘comment’ in the call to comments_number:

<?php comments_number('no comments','one comment','% comments'); ?>

still getting that coding showing though

A Comment”); ?></p> I removed that line from my coding, but i’m not liking the spot it’s hitting. how can i change that?

A Comment”); ?></p>

That code was already in the file!! I included it there to show you to insert the new code AFTER that. However, you apparently wanted it before the ‘Leave A Comment’, not after.

You can add some space in front of the text with non-breaking spaces, like this:

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; This post currently has

Thank you. you were a major help.
I actually wanted to really customize my comments so that you can see it as a neat little dropdown underneath. with a hide and unhide button. Somebody else on here actually gave me the coding to get it to show but I didn’t care for the way it looked. Think you’d be able to walk me through something like that?

Thanks
