• What’s the code that gives the comments their numbers in wp-comments.php? I’d like to format them by putting them in their own div, but I can’t seem to find where they’re called exactly.

    Actually, if you mean the numbers which appear alongside each comment, it’s just HTML:

    .
    You’d want to start in your wp-layout.css for formatting/layout of them.

    or some counter, here’s some peudocode

    $count = 1;
    foreach comment :
    echo $count
    $count++
    end foreach

    Ah, duh. I get it now. Thanks.

    Could someone please give me some more to go on regarding implementing a counter to get the comment numbering (that alphaoide talks about above). I am wanting to have the comment number, but not derived from the list. Where would put the counter in wp-comments.php–and could you maybe expand on the counter code as well? Thanks.

    cdc01, alphaoide just said it.
    Somewhere in your comments template there must be

    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    ...

    You can change it to
    <?php $count = 0; foreach ($comments as $comment): $count++; ?>
    ...
    Comment #<?php echo $count; ?>:
    ...

    or to whatever you like. This code makes “Comment #1” appear in the first comment and so on.

    nicokaiser…thanks! That did it. Very simple in hindsight. Thank you very much for the answer.
