   Hi guys,

   I'm trying to spit out some recent post comments on my homepage. I can use most of the Comment template tags (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags) fine, but having real issues with wp_list_comments() for some reason???

   I have tried it with parameters, but still no luck.

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=3&posts_per_page=1&order=dsc'); ?>
   	<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   
       <? wp_list_comments(); ?>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>

   What am I doing wrong?

   PS Outside the loop*

   Thanks in advance,

   That's because the function relies on either...

   a) You feeding it an array of comment objects
   or
   b) falling back to $wp_query->comments ($wp_query being the main query)

   See.
   http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/comment-template.php

   Around line 1360.. see the comments above the function.

   Hi mate,

   Thanks for your response. I can't get anything working using wp_list_comments().

   At present I'm using, which works, but not ideal:

   function featureBox() { ?>
   
   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=3&posts_per_page=1');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php
   $id = (int)$my_query->post->ID;
   $q = mysql_query("select * from wp_comments where comment_post_ID='{$id}' limit 1");
   $i = 0;
   while($info = mysql_fetch_object($q)) {
   	if($i>2) break;
   	print $info->comment_content;
   	$i++;
   }
   ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <?php }
   add_action('thesis_hook_feature_box', 'featureBox');

   Any further hints?

   Thanks,
