How can I allow new and recent comments to display on the Front Page (Home)?

    14 years, 7 months ago

    I was advised that “most themes are set to display comments on the single page only, and if I want the comments on front page also, I need to edit the theme’s index.php and add this line right after the_content() tag”:

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    I tried this, but it does not work.
    Can anyone help with this issue? My client needs Comments to be viewable from the Home page to encourage users to add new ones.

    Here’s the website Home URL: https://sj77.org

    Thanks!!!

  • Try this code just before the endwhile statement of the loop.

    <?php
    $withcomments = “1”;
    comments_template();
    ?>

    You can also try a plugin

    I’ve had luck with this one

    @ Giant Slayer…Dude! That did it!! I’m stoked!
    The comments displayed twice so I took out this statement:
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    Which seems unusual, because I would think that this statement would have allowed the comments to be displayed. Guess they wouldn’t until your statement was added.
    Looks great! Thank you!!!

    @ PBP_Editor… I downloaded this plugin as a backup. Seems a bit tricky to configure. Thanks!
