Adapt theme How to add comments to portfolio items

Create a child theme for this theme and activate it.

Create a functions.php file inside wp-content/themes/wpex-adapt-child/ and place the following code.

<?php
add_action('init', 'add_comments_to_portfolio');
function add_comments_to_portfolio() {
	add_post_type_support( 'portfolio', 'comments' );
}

You may need to use comments_template() if the “portfolio” post type is handled by a separate single-portfolio.php file.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I didn’t create a child theme (I assumed this wasn’t necessary), but I did add the hook to functions.php. No luck yet :-/

The only files I could find with portfolio in the name are:
archive-portfolio.php
content-portfolio.php
portfolio-filterable.php

And adding comments_template() to them doesn’t seem to work….

Any other ideas? Again, thank you for your help!

Nevermind, by using the editor in wordpress I could find single-portfolio and not it works. Thank you for your help! ??

You’re welcome!

A child theme IS necessary if you plan to edit PHP. If you omit doing it now you will refrain from updating the theme as it’ll overwrite your changes.

Finally a day will come when you update WordPress core and find that this theme breaks as it uses outdated and removed functions.

So it is best you move the changes to a child theme now.
