I searched all over the Internet to get some advice on this, and all I got were suggestions that didn’t work, and I saw a lot of other people asking the same question, so here you have it:
How to make comments appear on your index (main page) as well as other multi-post pages, such as tag and category pages (specific to WordPress 2.7.1 with K2 RC7 nightly build 2009-02-06)
I hate having to go to a new page just to submit comments, plus it’s weird to not be able to see comments grouped by post on the main page.
- In WordPress’ comment-template.php, remove the check that only allows comments on single posts and pages. Replace this line:
if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) )
with this:
if ( ! ($withcomments) ) - In K2’s header.php, make sure that the comment javascript code is not just placed in single posts and pages. Replace this line:
if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );
with this:
if ( comments_open() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); - In K2’s theloop.php, add comments so they’ll appear in multipost pages. Underneath this line:
</div><!– .entry-foot –>
add these lines:
<div id=”entry-comments” class=”entry-comments comments”>
<?php $withcomments = true; comments_template();?>
</div> - In single.php, you’ll need to remove the reference to comments, otherwise you’ll get double comments thanks to the change you made in theloop. Remove (or comment out) this entire block:
<div id=”entry-comments” class=”entry-comments comments”>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div> <!– .entry-comments –>
