Static Page help

  • So, I love your theme. I noticed in the new version you removed comments and date from pages. I figured out how to add the comments back into the page.php (just remove those two slashes on page.php before comments_template —no date displayed, just the comment box).

    Is there a way to just allow the comments on a single page? I have a photo gallery page that I’d like to allow comments on.

  • Hi,

    You can disable comment for your blog and enable for a single post while writing the post and in that window discussion box you can get the option to enable comment and pingback/trackbacks..

    Thanks,

    It doesn’t matter if the comments are enabled on the post, it has been removed from the lightword theme. That’s why I’m wondering if there is another way to add comments to a single page? I still want my comments to be there for the posts, just I only want comments on a single page I made/

    Hello,
    Just uncomment that line (like you said) and disable comments from wp-admin for the rest of the pages.

    Thanks for the response, but none of these solutions are working for me.

    Maybe I’m not being clear about what I want. If I uncomment page.php, comments will show on all the pages and posts. With the original page.php, no pages have comments.

    I want to still be able to have comments on my posts and I want comments on this SINGLE page.

    I understand and have set it up so comments are just enabled on that single page, HOWEVER, all my other pages still say ‘NO comments’ at the bottom after I uncommented page.php

    andreiluca, what I’m trying to do is to be able to remove the comment section from all my pages except one. Maybe it isn’t possible what I’m asking

    I solved my problem.

    I simply uncommented page.php, so that comments were renabled on all PAGES.

    I then went into comments.php and edited line 6 to not say ‘No Comments’

    So now, I have nothing on pages where I have disabled comments.

    Hi,

    More elegant solution:
    Open page.php with a text editor, find this line:

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    Replace with:

    <?php if ( comments_open() ) : comments_template(); endif; ?>

    Also fixed in 1.2.5
