Comment Count On Page Lists

bump.

….

still need help with this.

Hi,

You can check with different plugins that are avail for wordpress..

Thanks,

Shane G.

Shane, I have searched for a plug-in and I cannot find one.

That’s why I posted the topic. -_-

I would dig into your .php file that controls your archives page and see if you can pull some code from there and use it for your pages, since you’re looking for similar functionality.

I don’t have the expertise to give you a specific solution to your problem, but that’s what I would try to do.

Here’s a somewhat-related question.

Asecrest, I tried that and it gave me a fatal error.

If I was to post the archives.php (which is actually run by a plugin) are you able to lead me to the right direction?

here’s the php for the plugin:

<?php /*

still need help.

It looks like you found a solution. If not, I use the following php tag to display the numbers of comments a posting has when postings are displayed in a table list:
<?php comments_number('0','1','%'); ?>

This only works within the Loop.
