   Hey Guys,

   I was just wondering if anyone knew how to return the number of comments for use in an if statement - something like:

   if(comments_number() != '0') {

   Is that possible?

   Any help greatly appreciated,

   Many Thanks,
   Oliver

   If it isn't possible using template tags alone, you could certainly use this:

   Thanks.. but that says that it echoes the counts

   There are two functions you can use: get_comment_type_count() (which returns the value) and comment_type_count() (which echoes the value).

   Shouldn't that first function work?
