Comment On Post!

Hi Eric,

Due to the site being constantly updated the appearance mentioned above has changed, however, I would still like to achieve the stated result (comment on posts-in-a-page without leaving that page).

Maybe this will clarify even further, what I would like is to put a few posts into a page, one after the other, with each of those posts having a comments section underneath it.

Anybody with any advice here would be greatly welcomed,

Thanks,

Carl.

Hey Carl,

Thanks for your patience in receiving a reply.

Okay, so this is a question I haven’t had before, but I do believe it’s possible. It may depend a bit on your theme.

Step 1
First thing I’d do is copy the posts_loop_template.php file from your posts-in-page plugin directory to your theme folder.

Step 2
Then, open your new file and you’ll see something like this:

<!-- NOTE: If you need to make changes to this file, copy it to your current theme's main
	directory so your changes won't be overwritten when the plugin is upgraded. -->

<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

	<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->

You’ll see the comments_popup_link function – I’d toast that and add the comments template function:

<!-- NOTE: If you need to make changes to this file, copy it to your current theme's main

<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

	<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php comments_template(); ?>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->

Note – this will also embed the actual comments in the page too. Not my favorite setup, personally, but I hope that helps.
