Display Comment Count – Next to Entry Title

  • I’m using a child theme of Twenty Eleven. How do I display the number of comments on the same line as each entry title? I’ve done this before, but I can’t find the code.

    The unmodified theme has a cloud bubble for comments to the right of the entry titles. But I’m not finding the code in the original files.

    Because of a splash page I’m using to protect my blog pre-launch, I’m unable to provide a link, but I know this isn’t difficult to do.

    Thank you.

    This is crazy. Just for fun I put the code for displaying my comments count above the start of the entry-header class, and guess what? My comments link now displays inline with my post titles.

    But why? This isn’t clean code, right? When I first downloaded Twenty Eleven, I removed the comment bubble and placed the comments link at the bottom of my posts. But I want it back next to the post title.

    Ugh. Please … can someone help me understand this? Here’s the content.php code:

    [a rather large chunk of code moderated – the forum limit for posting code is 10 lines; for more, use the pastebin]

    If you ‘want it back’ download the theme to your computer and replace that file only. Or if you haven’t done other changes delete and reinstall the theme.

    I have the original files, but I have made lots of changes to the child version of content.php. Also, I believe functions.php might have something to do with this. So I don’t feel that’s an option.

    This should be able to be addressed with some simple CSS and div wraps or span tags. But I’ve tried everything I can think of and really welcome input on how to best accomplish this.

    Thanks.

    A good idea to start using child themes.
