Footer on Single Post Pages > some of it is missing
 

I've placed the following code in the area for "Footer: Single Post Pages":

%wp-print% | %wp-email%| %sociable% | <strong> Categories:</strong> %categories-linked(' , ')% |<br /> %comments('0 comments yet, your thoughts are welcome!', '1 comment so far, be the next!', '% comments - be the next!', 'Sorry, comments now closed')%

But the "comments" section is not showing up on those pages at all, just the part up to the "categories". Any idea what's going on here and how to fix it?

Thanks!!

get rid of the <br />
i.e.
%wp-print% | %wp-email%| %sociable% | <strong> Categories:</strong> %categories-linked(' , ')% |%comments('0 comments yet, your thoughts are welcome!', '1 comment so far, be the next!', '% comments - be the next!', 'Sorry, comments now closed')%

Thanks for your response, but actually there's nothing wrong with the line break code - it works on the home page post sections.

It is also included in the examples of the code to use on the customization page.

I had just inserted that before I posted this question to see if it made any difference. But it didn't - the comments section is still not showing up on the single post page.

I have an issue with my byline as well. In the single post page the author is linkable but in the homepage it is not. All I did was edit the homepage to show authors first and last name?

Any ideas.

The comments link doesn't display anymore on single post pages, following the Wordpress convention that on single post pages the comments link doesn't make sense since the comments are on the same page anyway. Technically it does not display because the standard Wordpress template tags are being used now for better plugin compatibility. In 3.3.3 a "Skip to comments" link was added instead.

For the author, what's the code you put into "BYLINE: Homepage" and "BYLINE: Single Post Pages"?

Flynn, thanks for the explanation of why it isn't working. I thought it was something I was/wasn't doing.

I'm not sure I agree with the thinking, but I guess we can always put a "Leave a comment" prompt in the post itself ...

Here is my bylines
BYLINE HOMEPAGE:

By %author-firstname% %author-lastname% on %date('F jS, Y')%

SINGLE POST:
By %author%, on %date('F jS, Y')%

None of these is supposed to display a link. If you want something that is linked you'd have to use %author-link% or %author-posts-link%, or construct your own link by using something like <a href="%author-url%">%author-firstname% %author-lastname%</a>

the single byline links to the authors community profile... (user-community plugin)

That means the plugin successfully hooks into the WordPress function the_author() which I am using for %author%. That's a good thing, I rewrote the whole post info section of the theme to allow plugins to hook into them.

The other items aren't linked because the plugin probably doesn't hook into the other functions used there.

is there a way to hook the author with their last name? Sorry i'm new at this.

Is it possible to have the authors pic show up in a post byline? with out having to use [printprofilepic] in the post.
