Hello.
I am using "pages" rather than the blog feature for most of my content pages, but I still want users to be able to comment on items.
If you look at http://www.newmuslimdhikr.co.uk/?page_id=23 , what's the most efficient way to have a comment function beneath each entry?
Do I need a separate plugin or to change the way I'm using these pages?
Many thanks in advance,
Dean
Generally, just edit your theme to have Pages call the comments_template in the same way that single post templates do.
And make sure comments are enabled on those Pages, of course.

Great, thanks for the response - don't suppose you could provide a bit more info on how to do that? I'm a WP virgin...
Take a look at your theme's page.php and the single.php. They won't be the same, but they should be similar enough to get the idea.
Look for the comments_template() piece. Duplicate it from one to the other.

Right, I've got the comments to show up on every page in the right place - but I don't want them on every page. How do I disable comments on the pages I don't want them on?
go to admi and edit a page you don't want comments
scroll to bottom and check to disable comments for that page

Hmm.. on a related note, how do I get a 'post' page to appear as one of the 'pages' in the menu? Or is there a way to import the same functionality into a single page?
You must log in to post.
