Andrew, you win the prize. That works! Awesome. Thank you so much.

(I would have never come up with that on my own.)

I probably have 50 quotes, but it is growing every week. Thanks for your offer!

I looked at that but, unfortunately, am not smart enough to actually translate it into the exact code snippet I need. If anyone can do that, I am in your debt!

Not quite sure how I integrate that, but the logic makes sense.

I just wish I wasn’t such a hack!

I tried this previously and it did not work. The problem is that these posts have two tags: Quote and Long. In another place on my blog, I collect all the Quotes whether they are long or short. So the Long tag is an additional tag.

Thanks for your help.

I deactivated the IntenseDebate plugin and it worked. However, it appears that comments_number gets the correct number of comments. It is the IntenseDebate comment count that is off. It appears that it isn’t syncing correctly.

I’ll keep working on it. I have also posted a question in the ID forum.

Thanks.

Here’s a pretty cool tutorial on how to do this.

Okay, cool. Thanks.

misternifty,

comments_popup_link seems to get the correct number of comments when using IntenseDebate. However, there doesn’t appear to be the equivalent get_comments_popup_link. As a result, if I try to use it, it produces “Comments (23)”. I can’t seem to get JUST the number, like I can with get_comments_number.

Do you or does anyone else have a workaround?

If possible, I’d really lik the number to reflect the actual number of comments in Intense Debate for the particular post.

Thanks.

Shane,

Thanks. But I am not looking for a badge of the total comments for all posts. I just want the comments for the individual post. I think that what misternifty has given me does the trick.

Thanks,

Mike

Misternifty’s solution totally worked. Thanks so much!

That didn’t quite work either. It is still over-writing. You can see it here: https://tr.im/t08b

Brian Fegter of MisterNifty.com provided the solution. Here is the working code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php query_posts($query_string . "&showposts=20"); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php $external_link = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'external_link', true); ?>

	<div class="post">

		<div class="p-head">
 			<p class="p-date"><?php the_time('l, F j, Y') ?></p>                        

			<?php if(!$external_link): ?>
				<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

			<?php else: ?>
				<h1><a href="<?php echo $external_link; ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div>

		<div class="p-con">
			<?php the_content(); ?>
		</div>

		<?php the_tags('Resource: &nbsp',', '); ?>

	</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php include("nav.php"); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
