I am trying to get post specific comments. The code below does return comments, but it gets them all. How can I get those specific to the post?




<?php 
//$args = array('order' => 'ASC');
	 $comments = get_comments('$post_id');
	 foreach($comments as $comment) :
?>
	 <div>
	 	 <ul>
		 	 <li> <?php echo ($comment->comment_content); ?></li>
		 </ul>
	</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Well, I would probably just use the code from the twentyeleven theme and use the have_comments loop. But, if you want to go this way, you could grab the post ID first, then put it into get_comments. Something like this:

$current = $post->id;

Then you can use:

get_comments($current);

Your code does not pass the correct parameter to the function. You care just getting all comments because of that.

<?php 
//$args = array('order' => 'ASC');
         $comments = get_comments('$post->id');
         foreach($comments as $comment) :
?>
         <div>
                 <ul>
                         <li> <?php echo ($comment->comment_content); ?></li>
                 </ul>
        </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I changed the '$post_id to $post->id that should fix the error.

I figured it out shortly after making this post. I used get_the_id to figure out the post id. For some reason when I try post->id it returns things badly. I am using the chunk of code above inside the loop. So this works well



$id = get_the_ID();
					$args = array( 
							'post_id' => $id, 
							'order' => 'ASC' 
					);
					$comments = get_comments($args);
					foreach($comments as $comment) :
				?>
					<div>
						<ul>
							<li> <?php echo ($comment->comment_content); ?></li>
						</ul>
					</div>
				<?php
					endforeach;
		?>
