How to show the number of comments for each post on the homepage extracts

  • Hi, my website is located at:

    https://www.neverendingfootsteps.com

    On the homepage there shows an extract of each post, and next to the title it gives the category and then the user who makes the post.

    First of all, I want to remove the author part, as I will be making all the posts! Is there a way to remove that and replace it with the number of comments for that post?

    I’ve been trying to do this for days with no success….

  • You can use something like this:

    <?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>

    the homepage template is likely to be index.php;
    (the following is general; details depend on your theme, which is unfortunately not free available)

    look for:

    <span class="author-link">
                <?php the_authors_posts_link(); ?>                </span>

    this <?php the_authors_posts_link(); ?> could be simliar, something with ‘author’ in it;

    replace it with:

    <?php comments_popup_link('No comments', '1 comment',
'% comments', 'comments-link', 'Comments are
closed'); ?>

    adjust the wording:
