No idea anyone? I hope this plugin is not dead.

Yes, it’s all working now. Thank you.

Too bad. Nice plugin otherwise.

Thanks vtxyzzy,
That’s what I ended up doing. Actually I thought about it myself, but didn’t think it was the best idea because of the dependency on the permalink structure. Well, did it anyway…

YES! It works. Thank you so much. The documentation is not very intuitive. What a luck there are people like you. Have a great weekend.

Sorry this is all going a bit slow…
Here is the code:

Thanks again. Pagination works now. And you are right – comments_template() was placed outside the loop. But now that it’s inside it still won’t work (sigh).

Thank you. That was very helpful. The problem is still not completely solved though.
Calling comments_template() does not work so I tried get_template_part(‘comments’) that for some reason only returns the submit form. Now calling get_comments() lists the comments but I would need to place all the html from comments.php again (what I don;t feel like doing).

Another problem is, that the next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() don’t work anymore. They return a url like this: …/?page_id=6&paged=2

What I did for a workaround now is using the query_posts() function from above to retrieve the permalink of the latest post and using this link in the navigation. Like this the content is displayed through single.php so that I have the full post, the comments and the previous/next post links. Disadvantage of this is that the url in the main navigation is always changing with a new post.

By the way – the theme I am working with is a customized Empty Canvas

Does someone have an idea how to tackle the problem of displaying the post on a page using the comments.php template and with working previous/next links?

When you generated the navigation in wp admin it’s not static.
Where do the links point to and where should they point to?

Is the navigation static? Then look in header.php.
Otherwise search your db for ‘localhost’ or ‘127.0.0.1’ to see if there’s anything unchanged left.

Aha! (light turns on) very helpful indeed.
Used it to list author comments on the profile page (author.php)
by adding ..AND user_id='".$curauth->ID."'.. to the db query.
