  • You could probably create a category.php file, and add the call to the comments_template() to it… but I honestly don’t know if that will work. I *think* comments are hooked in by post ID (so the relevant comment is attached to the correct post) – categories don’t have a post ID. (They do have a category ID though… so it *might* work.)

    Can anyone confirm if this will work?

    I can confirm including the comments template in category.php doesn’t work. It just doesn’t show.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Could I try and hook posts into category id’s as well as post id’s? Anyone know how I could do this?

    Thanks

    I really don’t think you can do it – not without some major code-writing.

    An alternative idea would be to crete Pages for your categories – use a query to pull in the categories for the matching Page. You can have comments on Pages. That would work.
