• I notice some of my friends site has the reply link at the bottom of the commentators. Is that a plugin or something?

  • brice83,

    Add a link so for clarification. Thanks

    If you mean the “Post your comment” or “Reply” link at the bottom of posts that leads to the comment form, no – it’s not a plugin. It’s a standard WordPress option but not all themes include it. You’ll either need to change themes to one that does include this link or edit your theme to add it.

    Here’s an example:
    http://purplehoodie.org/index.php/2009/08/too-much-butter/#comments

    At the bottom of each commentator has this: Reply to this Comment? When you click on it a form pops out.

    Yep – that’s the standard WordPress commenting/discussion option.

    Have you checked that you’ve enabled commenting in Admin/Settings/Discussion? If you have and there’s no comment link or form showing on your site, your theme may not support it. It’s not common but there are a few out there for various reasons.

    Adding comments to your existing theme – whilst possible – would involve a fair amount of template editing and probably some theme styling. Unless you’re especially keen to get your hands dirty with some coding, you might be better off looking for another theme that does allow commenting.

    I don’t see that in the Admin/Settings/Discussion. That’s okay. I don’t know much about WordPress. I’m kind of a beginner. I just starting to learn it myself. I feel kind of lost.

    I just have the number 6, which tells you how many people posted a comment. Where do I go, so I can put 6 Replies or 6 Commentators, etc.

    Look in your theme files for <?php comments_popup_link()';?>.

    brice83,

    It appears that you will need to do some template editing. A good place to start is in the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments
