Use something like this:
<?php comments_popup_link(‘0 comments’, ‘1 comment’, ‘% comments’, ‘commentslink’, ‘Comments Closed’); ?>
if you insert this into your post page, within The Loop, it will show something like:
0 comments
or
1 comment
or
50 comments
or
comments closed
.. depending on the situation. The text can be customised by changing the text within the example I gave above.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
I’m sure this question go asked before, and I found some answers too, but my php skills are still weak and I didn’t get it to work.
My site is running WordPress Version 2.5.1, and on my homepage I would like to display the total number of comments posted, and as someone posts a comment the number of comments should change on the homepage too.
something like this
<h2>
<p>Over 144 comments collected</p>
</h2>
The “144” is the number of comments.
Pleas keep it simple, because I just started to learn php.
To get an better idea what I’m trying to do just go to http://www.NOTRogers.com
Thank you for your help
