How to add the ability to make a comment to home page

add this, within the loop, where ever you need it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m new to WP and a bit unsure as to where I should put the code. Do I add it to the ‘Main Index Template’ and can it go anywhere? Thanks, Steve

Do I add it to the ‘Main Index Template’

yes, most likely

can it go anywhere?

not every where – just between while(have_posts()):the_post(); and endwhile;, i.e. inside the loop

where exactly depends where yo want the comments link to appear – before the content, or after?

I think before the content would be good. Does this mean there is a specific place I should place the code? Thanks once again, Steve

I’m new, too, and I’m really trying to get this figured out. I’m at https://www.artduck-o.com

I read about the loop, but now I’m confused about the actual code I need to put into the loop to show the comments. How do I know which code to use?

OK, I read through the links you directed me to alchymyth and I have sorted it, thanks.

The text I added was:

<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ?', '1 Comment ?', '% Comments ?'); ?>

and I added it to this page:

Main Index Template
(index.php)

I added it after this bit of code:

<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php if (current_user_can('edit_post', $post->ID)) { ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); } ?>

Now the comments link appears on the front page under the headline of each post. Hope you get yours sorted too.

thanks, Steve

Yes, that worked. Thanks for the help.
