Hi,

Refer this article:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comments_number

Otherwise:

Open comments.php and find this the lines that look similar to this:

<ol id="commentlist">

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>
<?php comment_text() ?>
<p><cite><?php comment_type(_c('Comment|noun'), __('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php comment_author_link() ?> — <?php comment_date() ?> @ <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php comment_time() ?></a></cite> <?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ' |'); ?></p>
</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ol>

Now all you need to do is change it to this:

<ol id="commentlist">

<?php $i = 1; ?>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>
<?php comment_text() ?>

<p><cite><?php comment_type(_c('Comment|noun'), __('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php comment_author_link() ?> — <?php comment_date() ?> @ <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php comment_time() ?></a></cite> <?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ' |'); ?></p>
<div class="commentnumber"><?php echo $i; ?></div>
</li>
<?php $i++; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

After that, open up your style.css and add something like this:

.commentnumber {
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 5px;
font-size: 18px;
color: #efefef;
}

.commentlist li {
position: relative;
}

Thanks,

Why not just set the comments list elements to number, would only require a small CSS update. Usually comments are output into a list, if that’s the case it’s a matter of switching list-style:none to list-style:decimal on the appropriate style (and maybe tweaking the CSS a little).

Without a link to the site i can’t provide a more definitive suggestion sorry.

@ shane

thanks for your reply. But each comment is displaying 15 times….. any other solution? pls
