Changing “Leave a Comment” Link text

    I’m pretty new to running a blog, and to WordPress as well. I’ve been able to set things up fairly well, but I can’t seem to figure out how to make one change I’d like to make.

    Namely, at the end of each blog posting, it includes a link to view existing comments and add a new comment. The default behavior is to have the text for this link as “No Comments”, “1 Comment”, and “x Comments” where “x” is the number of current comments.

    I’d rather change this to the following:

    “Read/Write Comments (0)”, “Read/Write Comments (1)”, “Read/Write Comments (x)” again where “x” is the number of current comments.

    I’ve done some searching here and everything I’ve seen says to change either comments.php or index.php, but changing these doesn’t seem to work for me.

    How can I implement this change?

    My blog is located at http://www.the-daily-poll.com

    Thanks in advance!

    use this line in the index.php, whereever you have that comments_popup_link line.

    <?php comments_popup_link(‘Read/Write Comments(0)’, ‘Read/Write Comments(1)’, ‘Read/Write Comments(%)’); ?>

    Thanks

    Thanks…that partially solved it. Now it has both methods showing:

    1 Comment Read/Write Comments(1)

    Is there somewhere else I need to change things so “both” methods don’t show up?

    Thanks!!!

    what is your website ? which theme you are using ?

    did you replace the existing line, with the one I provided?

    The blog is at http://www.the-daily-poll.com

    I did replace the line as you suggested, and finally figured out the problem.

    I had saved the original line in the code so I could change it back if necessary. I had surrounded the line with comments saying it was the original version, but I not actually commented out the original line itself, thus creating the duplicate.

    Since fixing that, all is well.

    Thank you for your help!
