I admit, I goofed. At some point I eliminated comments from my posting page. Can't remember. I have been inundated with changes for this site I am doing, and my memory is no good no more!

http://www.midriffrecords.com/midriff_TEST/news

What did I do to get rid of them? Can't figure it out. More important: how do I get them back?

I have added the strings into the "footer" box on the post/page styling, but still, no comments.

Same thing for the byline, also. I'd like to get that back, too.

Sorry about this goofery. Thanks in advance, Flynn! Hope all is well.

/atahualpa/index.php should look like this at around line 200-245, you might be missing the middle part with "Load comments template"

Hi Flynn,

It seems that everything there is largely in order, except...I edited the index.php to display custom widgets, and that seems to be the culprit, although I don't know how to rectify the problem:

http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ht=widget+page
(I have a question regarding this as well, which I will post over there)

Is there a way to massage this so I can get the comments back? I only want them on the "News" page...

http://www.midriffrecords.com/midriff_TEST/news

and not on the Home page.

Thanks!

To display comments only on one specific page, in this case a page with the "slug" (how page is named in the URL) news, change in index.php, this

PHP Code:

        <?php // Load Comments template (on single post pages, and "Page" pages, if set on options page) 
        if ( is_single() OR ( is_page() && $bfa_ata_comments_on_pages == "Yes") ) {
            if (function_exists('paged_comments')) { 
                paged_comments_template(); // If plugin "Paged Comments" is activated, for WP 2.6 and older
                } else { 
                comments_template(); // This will load either legacy comments template (for WP 2.6 and older) or the new standard comments template (for WP 2.7 and newer)
            }     
        } ?>

to this:

PHP Code:

        <?php // Load Comments template (on single post pages, and "Page" pages, if set on options page) 
        if ( is_single() OR  is_page('news') ) {
            if (function_exists('paged_comments')) { 
                paged_comments_template(); // If plugin "Paged Comments" is activated, for WP 2.6 and older
                } else { 
                comments_template(); // This will load either legacy comments template (for WP 2.6 and older) or the new standard comments template (for WP 2.7 and newer)
            }     
        } ?>

is_page('XX') with XX = page ID would work as well

Hi Flynn,

Thanks for keeping up with me on this one...I tried this edit, but it still doesn't work.

Is it perhaps a matter of *where* I place the code in the index.php?

As requested, index php attached as zip. It was too long for the body of the post.

thanks!

tony
