display number of comments for a post?

    Is it possible to add the number of comments for each post at the top of the post? I searched and found suggestions for modifying the template in the WP Codex but there are no instructions on where and how to insert the code and my knowledge of coding is too rudimentary for me to figure it out. I looked for plugins but they only seem to add the total number of comments for all the posts combined and I don’t want that.

    Grateful for any help.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for using Poseidon.

    You can find the code for displaying the post meta in inc/template-tags.php within the poseidon_entry_meta() function.

    You can override this function with a child theme and then add the code to display the number of comments.

    Best,

    Thanks very much for responding. However, as I said in my OP, my coding knowledge is minimal and I have no idea what you’re talking about.

    Okay, then I recommend to hire a freelance developer which can make these modifications for you.
