Is it possiblie to modify Hestia comments template (I mean the text in it)? My website is in Portuguese, however, Hestia comments template in Blog section by default is in English. I don’t see the option to change the text in Comments template and I would like to change titles like Leave a Reply ou Post Comment so they can appear in Portuguese, in accordance with language that I use for the website. If you could reply if its possible or not to change it in the free version. Thank you

On posts with comments like this (https://shippingandfreightresource.com/what-are-the-biggest-problems-with-container-shipments/) the comments form is showing up, but on posts without comments like this (https://shippingandfreightresource.com/beyond-brexit/) the comments form doesn’t show up..

From the theme it appears that only if there is at least one comment the form will show up (unless i am reading it wrong) but if there is no form then readers can’t comment.. Also, this used to work fine, but all of a sudden this issue is happening.. Any help will be appreciated..

Code in single.php is as below :

<?php
// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
if ( comments_open() || ‘0’ != get_comments_number() )
comments_template();
?>

Code in comments.php is as below :

<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Comments.
*
* The area of the page that contains both current comments
* and the comment form. The actual display of comments is
* handled by a callback to expound_comment() which is
* located in the inc/template-tags.php file.
*
* @package Expound
*/

/*
* If the current post is protected by a password and
* the visitor has not yet entered the password we will
* return early without loading the comments.
*/
if ( post_password_required() )
return;
?>

<div id=”comments” class=”comments-area”>

<?php // You can start editing here — including this comment! ?>

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
<h2 class=”comments-title”>

<?php
printf( _nx( ‘One thought on “%2$s”’, ‘%1$s thoughts on “%2$s”’, get_comments_number(), ‘comments title’, ‘expound’ ),
number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ), ‘<span>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</span>’ );
?>

<?php comment_form(); ?>

<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 0 && get_option( ‘page_comments’ ) ) : // are there comments to navigate through ?>
<nav id=”comment-nav-above” class=”navigation-comment” role=”navigation”>
<h1 class=”screen-reader-text”><?php _e( ‘Comment navigation’, ‘expound’ ); ?></h1>
<div class=”nav-previous”><?php previous_comments_link( __( ‘← Older Comments’, ‘expound’ ) ); ?></div>
<div class=”nav-next”><?php next_comments_link( __( ‘Newer Comments →’, ‘expound’ ) ); ?></div>
</nav><!– #comment-nav-before –>
<?php endif; // check for comment navigation ?>

<?php

* to use expound_comment() to format the comments.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then you can

When I was running the site on the parent theme the mods I made to the template-tags.php worked fine. Running on the child theme with the modified template-tags.php in the child theme the mods don’t work. Seems the template-tags.php in the child theme is not overriding the parent.

Any ideas?

https://localhost/wordpress/wordpress/?page_id=50&project=baloon

With the content based on the project parameter.

I would like to enable unique comments / discussions for each dynamically created page depending on the project. is this possible?

<?php
// Start the Loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

    if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
        comments_template();
    }
endwhile;
?>

It is wordpress 3.9.1. Any help?

WARNING: could not find the file comments.php in the theme.
REQUIRED: Could not find wp_list_comments. See: wp_list_comments
REQUIRED: Could not find comment_form. See: comment_form

Is there any way to build a theme without these two calls? I am trying to build a theme with two files, “index and style.” so far I had to give in and create a functions.php so that is three files. Now I am really mad because after research, I find you can not build a theme without the above calla. In short, a comments.php is required.

I can add a(nother) file but it is the whole idea of the fact that WP says ” the only two files you really need are….” So here I sit broken hearted and am hoping someone knows a workaround.

I tried using wp_list_comments directly into index.php and also tried a comments function in functions.php. Also tried calling a conditional loop with if (comments()) and called wp_list_comments in one condition and comments_template in the other.

Prove me wrong because WP says you ONLY NEED TWO FILES to create a theme. I am determined to do this but only to see if it is possible. Currently it seems it is not. Therefore WP needs to retract their statement or remove wp_list_comments from the requirements of a theme build.

Firstly, thankyou for this theme. It is a great platform to build on, and as a relative newcomer, I have learned some handy new stuff from it!

Okay, so I have been getting my head around the comments template layout, and one thing is baffling me: both the “above” and “below” navigation seem to have some automatically-applied CSS, namely position: fixed and top: 0

Could you please tell me where in the theme this is applied, as I need to change it. None of the classes or IDs match any I have already used, so I’m pretty certain it’s nothing I’ve done.

Thanks.

one of my clients, have a WordPress theme which has no comments template (comments.php),
How can I add comments part at the end of each post?
Is there a plugin for create this automatic?
or I have to develop something?
Would you please kindly help me to solve this problem?

Thanks
