comments template to only appear in 1 category

  • Hi,

    I’d like to know if it’s possible to write some PHP code so the ‘comments template’ only appears on the ‘news’ category.

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    The category ID for our news is 664 by the way.

    Thanks,

    Richard

  • On each individual post, you can decide to allow comments or disallow comments by clicking/unclicking these options in DISCUSSION:
    Allow Comments.
    Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.

    I would simply unclick these options on the posts that you do not want comments rather than tweek with <?php comments_template(); ?>

    There are at least 5 documents in WordPress managing comments and I find that comments is one of the most advanced customization in WordPress.

    You could wrap in_category in an if tag.

    <?php
if ( in_category( 'pachoderms' )) {
	// Show comments
        comments_template();
} else {
	// Show nothing
	echo 'Comments are disabled';
}
?>
