The following is the comments code for my theme ... went ahead and just deleted the code for commenting ... I went to wordpress.org and found this article http://codex.wordpress.org/Commenting_Code ... and instead of just getting ride of/or (commenting out the ) comments all together ... I would rather leave them for the design page ... anywho ... for some reason there is not a whole lot on this subject ... or atleast I have not been able to find it ...


<?php
/**
 * The comments template
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Minimatica
 * @since Minimatica 1.0
 */
 ?>

<div class="entry-comments">

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
	<div id="comments">
		<p class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'minimatica' ); ?></p>
	</div><!-- #comments -->
	<?php return; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php // You can start editing here -- including this comment! ?>

<?php if ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() ) : ?>
	<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'minimatica' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
	<div id="comments">
		<h3 id="comments-title"><?php comments_number( '', __( 'One Response' ), '% ' . __( 'Responses' ) ); ?></h3>

TheDoc

You could do something like:

<?php if ( is_page('Design') ) {
// insert comments code
} ?>

springlab

In my last project I did what TheDoc suggested and it works just fine.

nathan05

Sweet ... so to be sure doc ... I put the code at the top of the comments.php and comment out the rest of it ... or leave it as is ?

TheDoc

In your page.php you could add:

<?php if ( is_page('Design') ) {
    comments_template();
} ?>

I think that should work if you're using comments.php.

nathan05

the first bit of code you recommended ... do i add that to the top of the comments.php template ... or do I replace a bit of code with what you shared?

and the second bit of code ... do I add this in addition to the comments bit of code I add? ...

thanks for your help ...

nathan05

Thanks doc ... I made a back up copy of the template page and comments.php files ... then I added the first bit of code to the comments.php file ... then I deleted everything in the pages.php file between the

get_header();?> and<?php get_footer(); ?> and replaced it with the second bit of code you gave ... and it is working ... thanks for your help ...

nathan05

now its not showing the post for the about pages ... LOL ...

nathan05

Here is exactly what I have in my "PAGE TEMPLATE"

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="primary">
			<div id="content" role="main">

<?php if ( is_page('Design') ) {
    comments_template();
} ?>
				<?php the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>


			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

All I did was add

<?php if ( is_page('Design') ) {
    comments_template();
} ?>

and I took out

<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

So now the about page gets its posts ...

Now I am working on the Design page ... the comments work ... but the page title is below ...

nathan05

Ok ... so what I figured out is this ... the following bit of code

<?php if ( is_page('Design') ) {
    comments_template();
} ?>

has to go after this bit ...

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

so now the title shows up above the comments box ...

TheDoc

I'm not sure if you've got it sorted - have you figured it out? Do you need anything else?

nathan05

LOL ... yea ... I was just posting everything I did ... so if someone else runs into the same issue ...

I just made back up copies of the page and comments .php files ... so I could read through the code and see where it might logically go ...

Thanks for your help doc ...
