    Hi there,

    I want the number of comments and link (#comments) to appear at the top of my post.

    I am using the 2010 theme which has the following;

    function twentyten_posted_in() {
	// Retrieves tag list of current post, separated by commas.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', '/ ' );
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$posted_in = __( 'Category: %1$s <hr />Tags: %2$s<hr />', 'twentyten' );
	} elseif ( is_object_in_taxonomy( get_post_type(), 'category' ) ) {
		$posted_in = __( 'Category: %1$s <hr />', 'twentyten' );
	} else {
		$posted_in = __( 'Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'twentyten' );
	}

    Where do I add the comment, and what code?
    (The codex examples only show hooks for the Loop)

  • where in that line do you want the comment count to show?

    btw:
    that is the code for the bottom of the post.

    Hi the sweeper,

    if ( $tag_list ) {
		$posted_in = __( 'Category: %1$s <hr />Tags: %2$s<hr /><strong>**COMMENT COUNT HERE**</strong>', 'twentyten' );

    Ideally to appear after the tags line, so in order – category, tags and comment count.

    Many thanks for your help!

    you are aware that this is below the post?

    above the post would be ‘posted on … by …’ and this would be done by ‘twentyten_posted_on()’ in functions.php

    yes I am aware of these lines, but the design requires it in a slightly diff. layout.

    this is why i am editing the functions.php and hence the code above.

    everything is working as it should, ie: date, category, tags – just the comment count is missing..

    Can you help? many thanks.

    i don’t really understand what you want:

    I want the number of comments and link (#comments) to appear at the top of my post.

    do you want that on the front page of twenty ten?

    is so, this would require to edit the code of twentyten_posted_in()

    Ideally to appear after the tags line, so in order – category, tags and comment count

    that is below the post – and in twenty ten, this is done in loop.php, and already has the comments number.

    can you check back with your design guru and clarify?

    I want the number of comments and link (#comments) to appear at the top of my post.

    >> On the single.php post file of 2010 theme.

    So would it be something like this:

    $posted_in = __( ‘Category: %1$s
    <hr />Tags: %2$s
    <hr />Comments: (% Comments)‘, ‘twentyten’ );

    do you want to move the line with ‘posted in’ etc to the top of the post?

    or do you want the comment number in the line with ‘posted on’ etc which is already on top of the post?

    Hello all! I am attempting to get the same thing – the comment count with a link to the comments on my posts. My website is https://lynnmotley.com/?page_id=131 but the website I’d like to see mine resemble, https://www.laurarobertsdesign.com/blog/, in terms of how the comment count and link appear by the post title.

    Also, I want for users to be able to add a comment to a post no matter how they get to it…..via the archives, tags, blog, however. Is this a possibility?

    I am using the Satoshi theme by Voosh Themes.

    Thanks for any help you can offer this newbie!
