Adding Comments to Page

    Hello all, I’m hoping someone can help me with a theme issue I am having, since the template creator seems to no longer be offering any support.

    I am using a WP theme which by default does not have comments appear on pages, even when ‘comments allowed’ is chosen as an option site wide. Digging into the templates, it seems comments are not included on the page layout.

    Using 20-20, I can see the code that creates the comments on the bottom of a page, but I can’t figure out what I need to do/edit to make comments automatically appear on a page, with the appropriate page url named.

    If, for example, I embedded this code on the page template —

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    Any comments added to any page on the site would post to the url named in this code.

    So, what I’m looking for is the default code which adds comments to the page on which the comment code appears.

    I hope that explanation makes sense ??

    The site in question is actually this one:

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. This is your final warning…]

    https://frenchbulldogvillage.net/2011/06/emee-ive-been-adopted/

    appear in

    `https://frenchbulldogvillage.net/adopt-a-frenchie/currently-available-frenchies/’

    Yes, exactly – but comments specific to each page.

    Sheesh, I hope I sussed out pasting the code this time… I was using the code mark up function, but I guess that’s no longer allowed?

    so what do u want is something like..

    i want comments in page 1 and 2 but not page 3 and 4 ?

    if so.. find in the page.php

    < ?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

    or if it doesn’t exists.. it’s fine lol

    change it to

    < ?php if ( is_page( array( ID#, ID#, ID# ) ) ) comments_template( '', true ); ?>

    ID# is your Page ID.
    `

    does the theme have a comments.php file? (if thats a daft questionn, please excuse:))

    how should i know if the theme has it ? you’re the one who have it.. lol

    im not the one with the problem:P

    ah yes.. it’s depends on the theme creator.. it may or may not.

    Aha! Yes, it does have a comments.php file

    Let me go see if adding that to the page template does the trick.

    @dbphte1: Try looking for a comments.php file in Appearance ->Editor. Just ensure that your current theme is selected in the dropdown when you check the list of files.

    Nope, adding the comments code from comments.php made pages throw this error —

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/fbv2011admin/frenchbulldogvillage.net/wp-content/themes/child_care_creative/layout_single_page.php on line 82

    should probably take it out then…

    i might be way off being a total newbie – but if the theme creator disabled comments you just steal the comments.php from another theme and use that?

    No. You can’t just drop the comment code from one theme straight into another.
