    I’ve read over the topics on comments_number but i cant figure out why my post number is always “There’s zero responses for this post” when i do have posts.

    If you can help take a look…

    You can see on the right that its not showing the correct amount of posts?

    ————————————
    My sidebar2.php
    <div id=”sidebarpostdata”>

    Posted on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php the_time(‘g:i a’); ?> by <?php the_author() ?> in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>. There’s <?php comments_number(‘zero responses’,’one response’,’% responses’); ?> for this post.

    </div>
    —————————————-
    My Comments.php
    <h2 id=”comments”><?php comments_number(__(‘Zero Comments’), __(‘1 Comment’), __(‘% Comments’)); ?>
    <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
    “>»
    <?php endif; ?>
    </h2>
    ——————————————
    My Single.php
    <?php

    comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></p><div class=”divider”></div></div>
    </div>

    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    ——————————————-

    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Is that tag within the Loop?
    Read: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/comments_number

    Display the number of comments for the current post outside the loop:

    <?php
global $wpdb, $table_prefix, $wp_query;
$post_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
$num_comments = $wpdb->get_var("
  SELECT COUNT(1) FROM {$table_prefix}comments
  WHERE comment_post_ID = " . $post_id . "
  AND comment_approved = '1'
");
echo $num_comments;
?>

    There is probably a more efficient way to do this, but it works ??

    (This only works on single post pages obviously)

    I put your code into my sidebar2.php and replaced the non-working code and its work great now.

    THANK YOU!

    Aleister,

    Thank you so much!
    I crawled nearly the whole net to find a solution on how to check and display the number of comments outside the loop!
