Feature request: Comment count on posts

The Comment Count is used to display how many comments are currently on a post. I really don’t think it should be used as an indicator to show whether the comments are open or closed.

With that said, if you want to change this functionality to work how you want it, simply create a child theme and override the templates.

I disagree with you Anthony. If the webmaster decides not to allow comments on a post or whole website it has no use / really is silly to show comment counts (of 0) on each post.
Sure I can change the code to get what I want. The point is that the Quark skeleton should be as good as possible. It isn’t now I think.

That’s fine. As I said, if this is the behaviour that you want, then simply override the templates and change it to how you’d like it to work. I wont be changing Quark to work like this. I appreciate the suggestion though.

Just another thought. If you simply want to hide the comment count because you’re not using Comments on your site, then all you need to do is add the following css to your child theme:

.comments-link {
   display: none;
}

That’s a way to do it and I’ll use it. Thanks for the css.
Still I think it should be part of the template code and/or admin option.
