wayside 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Website is setup to display the latest blog for the homepage. This works fine, however how do I get the comments block to also display without clicking on "Leave a Comment". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timlinson 3 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 "Leave a Comment" takes you to the single post page of the post, which shows the entire individual post plus the comment field. Are you saying you want comment fields to show up for every post on the main blog page? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayside 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 I have the settings of WP to have the latest post the home page. Rather than having just the "Leave a Comment" link, I would like to display the comment block under the post. Also I only display 1 post at a time on the homepage.

Kate 3 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Richard, You would have to modify the template.postloop.php file. Are you comfortable with PHP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timlinson 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 If you're using platformpro, you can preserve these customizations by using the platformbase child theme. Activate it in Appearance > Themes, and then copy the template to the platformbase folder. Make your changes in the base file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayside 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 From everything that I have read so far, you can't display the comment block (txt area) within the template.postloop.php template or something about not being able to display the comments box on the homepage when the home page is set to display the latest post.

cmunns 16 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 Comments go with single post pages. It doesn't work to allow them on a non-single post page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
