Show Comments on my homepage
-
Hi All
I just want comments to appear after posts on my homepage, I’m aware of the pitfalls but for starting out I think this would be useful. I have spent the day trawling these forums and am aware that I need to add some code to my index.php file, my problem (as I’m a total newbie) is I don’t know what and where, my site is chasingtheegg.com, I’m using the Mystique theme and my index.php looks like this:
<?php /* Mystique/digitalnature */ get_header(); ?> <!-- main content: primary + sidebar(s) --> <div id="main"> <div id="main-inside" class="clearfix"> <!-- primary content --> <div id="primary-content"> <?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/post.php'); endwhile; ?> <div class="page-navigation clearfix"> <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')): wp_pagenavi(); else: ?> <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link(__('« Older Entries','mystique')) ?></div> <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries »','mystique')) ?></div> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php else: ?> <h1 class="title error"><?php _e("No posts found","mystique"); ?></h1> <p><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.","mystique"); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> </div> <!-- /primary content --> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> </div> </div> <!-- /main content --> <?php get_footer(); ?>And my comments.php looks like this:
<?php /* mystique/digitalnature */ ?> <?php if (!empty($post->post_password) && $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password): ?> <p class="error"><?php _e('Enter your password to view comments','mystique'); ?></p> <?php return; endif; ?> <?php if ($comments || comments_open()): /* Count the totals */ $numPingBacks = 0; $numComments = 0; $jquery = get_mystique_option('jquery'); /* Loop throught comments to count these totals */ foreach ($comments as $comment) if (get_comment_type() != "comment") $numPingBacks++; else $numComments++; if(get_mystique_option('related_posts')): // Related posts.
