Comments count on homepage

    My old theme (modified version of twenty-ten) had a little link at the bottom of each post on the homepage that said how many comments there were on each post. If you clicked it, it would also take you directly to the comments section of the post. Since updating to TT3, I cannot figure out how to add this functionality back to the site. This functionality does exist within the comments on a single post (above the first comment it says, “# responses to “Post Title””), but I don’t see a way to add it to the query loop on the homepage.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @tfooq have you tried adding the comments block inside the query loop?

    The comments block will display comments as they’re displayed on a single post. You can read more about the block below:

    I did try adding the comments block, but that just added the whole comment thread to the home page, which was not what I wanted.

    However, I figured out the issue. The post-comments-count block, which is part of TT3 by default, is not in the WordPress core. You need to install the Gutenberg plugin for it to work. This was very confusing and was not noted anywhere that was obvious to me.

    Hi @tfooq ohh I see, I am glad you managed to sort that out and let me know. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
