Hi,

I quickly found a theme and made a site that shows the recent post when you call it up with comments accessible by a little icon.

I have been trying to do this with my wordpress.org site and maybe you can tell me what I’m doing wrong? It seems like this is a pretty normal way for a wordpress blog to be.

thank you! Should I be able to do this also with your theme?

Thank you!

Evelyn

Hi there,

I found this comment on a forum:

you can add this to the template for the home page.

I’m not sure if I should put this into the index.php file for

graphene, or into another file? any suggestions so that the

change won’t be lost with upgrades?

thanks,

Evelyn

<?php

$withcomments = 1; // force comments form and comments to show on front page

comments_template();

?>

Hi evelyn,

The theme is showing the link to comments in the front page by default. But it probably doesn’t if you use a static front page..

Hurm..if you wanna force the comment to be shown, just add this code into your child theme’s functions.php:

function graphene_force_comment(){

$withcomments = 1; // force comments form and comments to show on front page

comments_template();

}

add_action('graphene_bottom_content', 'graphene_force_comment');

Note that this code is untested, and it assumes that the code you provide above works.
