How do I show all comments?

  • How I can make the page display all the comments without having to click on the Comments link to show them? I have version 2.9.1. Surprisingly there is no option in the admin panel but I’ve been told it is a theme thing & not WP. Here is the link to the page https://collegejobcoach.com/blogt
    Thanks greatly for any help.

  • do you mean on the front page?

    if so you probably have something like
    <?php comments_popup_link('ADD COMMENTS', '1 COMMENT', '% COMMENTS'); ?>

    or similar (it’ll have the comment popup link bit)

    swapping that for
    <?php comments_template(); ?> should do the trick

    Thanks for reply. Yes on the home page of the blog. (see https://collegejobcoach.com/blog/)Well I found the index.php file in the wp-content>themes>classic directory and replaced the <?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?> line of code with <?php comments_template(); ?> and made the comments links go away BUT didn’t show the comments at all. I have version 2.9.1. Perhaps the code needs to be something a little different for this version?? I also noticed that there are 3 or 4 other index.php files in different places but none of them had code like the one I was told to replace. My goal again: to replace the Comments links and have all the comments show by default without having to click on any Comments links. Thanks for the help. I think I am close if someone can help me get over the hump-I’m sure it is something minor. (I tried it twice carefully to make sure I was doing exactly as instructed).
    thanks again,
    looking forward to response,
    Dave
