changing the “no comments” prompt on new posts

  • A few clients have complained that at the bottom of new posts (those which haven’t received comments yet) it says “no comments”. Two of my clients have said that it makes it APPEAR that comments are not allowed. Is there a way to make it say “post comments here” instead of “no comments”?

    It’s your theme.

    Where on your pages is that showing? If it’s at the bottom of your single posts, then you need to look for where it calls the comments file.

    Thanks for replying. I’m using the classic theme, and although I understand the idea you are telling me I’m having trouble finding the specific file that should be modified. If you can tell me where this file is in the classic theme I should be able to figure out the rest.

    Thanks for your help. You ARE appreciated.

    you need to edit file comments.php (and comments-popup.php — if your theme use this popup comment file).

    Usually the “no comments” come from comments_number() function.

    wait, if you use classic as theme….then go to line 32 in comments.php and erase

    <?php _e(‘No comments yet.’); ?>

    while in comments-popup.php(line 58), erase the same code.
