• I have been using WordPress for just few months so I’m not experienced in editing files.

    I want to make RSS comments link for every post I make so my readers can easily be updated of new comments for a post.

    I know that I need to edit the comment file but I don’t know what to put in and where, so I ask if you can help me to do it.

    The comment file for the theme I’m using is this:

    <?php // Do not delete these lines
     if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
      die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
    
            if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
                if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_'.$cookiehash] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
        ?>
    
        <p class="nocomments"><?php _e("This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments."); ?>
    
        <?php
        return;
                }
            }
    
      /* This variable is for alternating comment background */
      $oddcomment = "graybox";
    ?>
    
    <!-- You can start editing here. -->
    
    <?php if ($comments) : ?>
     <h2 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses','One Response','% Responses' );?></h2> 
    
     <ol class="commentlist">
    
     <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    
      <li class="<?=$oddcomment;?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
    
    	<strong><?php comment_author_link() ?></strong>
    
    	<p class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?></a><?php edit_comment_link('Edit comment',' ~ ',''); ?>
    
       <?php comment_text() ?>
    
      </li>
    
      <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
       if("graybox" == $oddcomment) {$oddcomment="";}
       else { $oddcomment="graybox"; }
      ?>
    
     <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
    
     </ol>
    
     <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    
      <?php if ('open' == $post-> comment_status) : ?>
      <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->
    
      <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
      <!-- If comments are closed. -->
    
      (comments are closed).
    
     <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    
    <?php if ('open' == $post-> comment_status) : ?>
    
    <h2 id="respond">Leave a Comment</h2>
    <form action="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
    
    <input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="22" tabindex="1" class="styled" />
    <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />

    <!--<strong>XHTML:</strong> You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?>
    -->
    
    <textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4" class="styled"></textarea>
    
    <?php if ('none' != get_settings("comment_moderation")) { ?>
     <small><strong>Please note:</strong> Comment moderation is enabled and may delay your comment. There is no need to resubmit your comment.</small>
    
    <?php } ?>
    
    <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
    
    </form>
    
    <?php // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head
    endif; ?>
