jcow – the theme I am using was created by someone else who coded it incorrectly. So in Single Post (single.php), there was a missing </div> that needed to be added above <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

https://diaryofchanel.com/discuss is the page I am referring to.
That particular page has subpages. So far I only have 2 listed like this

1. domestic violence
2. abortion

Ideally, i would like to show on my Discuss page, how many comments each SUBPAGE/TOPIC has. ie:

1. domestic violence (18 comments)
2. abortion (32 comments)

Here is how I have the Discuss page coded, with it’s own template:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Discussions
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”side-left”>
<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”kutu”>
<div class=”ust”><span></span></div>

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2 class=”pagetitle”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
This section is an open forum for viewers to discuss & debate random topics per week. I will be posting “The Topic Of The Week” as it will allow us to converse about highlights of the media, politics, celebrity gossip, life & relationships, and parenting. Topics are posted in a numerical order (the highest number being the most recent topic) For those that are subscribed, you will receive an email notification when the new topic is posted! So if you’re interested in being involved, please subscribe to my mailing list. Thank you.

<div class=”entrytext”>
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->post_parent.”&echo=0″);
else
$children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->ID.”&echo=0″);
if ($children) { ?>

<?php echo $children; ?>

<?php } ?>

</div>

</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ‘<p style=”margin:10px;”>’, ‘</p>’); ?>
<br class=”clear” />
<div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>
</div>

</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thank you jcow. I will try that and return with the results.

Continually “bumping” your post over the course of one day can be a problem when you want an answer.

1 – “bumping” a topic is so it can go back to the front page. Most likely a new volunteer will be able to see it, not when it’s on page 6 of the forum lists. And I don’t see why someone would purposely ignore it just because I “bumped it too much”. That just shows cattiness amongst adults.

A lot of people will skim through for postings that only have 1 post in them in order to try and get people some help. You effectively had a conversation with yourself, from a quick-look point-of-view, you didn’t need help because somebody was helping you.

2 – Don’t be so quick to assume. Just because someone else ended up helping me, doesn’t take away from the fact that I still needed help. It may have took that person, and myself, hours to figure it out, where has here, it would have took an hour maybe?. Also, having someone else help me could have had a monetary value ($$$ per hour).

Also posting that much code (your first link) can turn people away, especially when it is not tagged as “code”, making it even more chaotic.

3 – Oh! So posting TOO MUCH information isn’t the operative thing to do now? For the specific topic I needed assistance with, the issue WAS in the actual code. Which i knew for a fact. i just didn’t know where to find it, being that I’m a php novice.

Usually the listings I see go unanswered are heavily documented or answered over and over already, or the questions are too ambiguous and hard to understand, or, sometimes, when you keep posting on top of yourself, so people don’t see that your thread needs attention.

4 – That’s null & void in my situation (and other topics I’ve seen ignored by other members) because none of those entities apply to me or them.

Just my perspective.

5. Thanks for submitting your view on the matter.

thanks for responding with your view of things stvwlf. I think those are great reasons you’ve posted.

So, let me pick your brain, did I leave out pertinent information in these following topics as to why they went unanswered? (in your opinion):

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/250776?replies=5

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/250693?replies=4

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/245487?replies=10

I fixed it. “Thanks for all the help”.

Here’s the comment.php also. I have a feeling it’s one of these 2 files jacking it all up:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if (‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))
die (‘Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!’);

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there’s a password
if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn’t match the cookie
?>

<p class=”nocomments”>Post Status: LOCKED. Email me for the password.<p>

<?php
return;
}
}
?>

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I think you add this to the the page.php file for where you want the comments to show:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

Then when you create a new page, you need to select the Default Template (which is Page.php).

still need help.

bump.

bump.

Asecrest, I tried that and it gave me a fatal error.

If I was to post the archives.php (which is actually run by a plugin) are you able to lead me to the right direction?

here’s the php for the plugin:

Shane, I have searched for a plug-in and I cannot find one.

That’s why I posted the topic. -_-
