Title: ADDING COMMENTS Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # ADDING COMMENTS * [drama-princess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drama-princess/) * (@drama-princess) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/) * What is the code to add comments (without themes)? I just need the comments code. Everything I’ve tried turns up with errors, or a pop up box leading me back to my blog. I’d appreciate it if you could post the code here, instead of referring me to an old topic (because I have looked), but that’s okay if you think it will work. Thanks! <3 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229813) * Which version of WP? If you have WP 1.5.x – that works with themes: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes) * Thread Starter [drama-princess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drama-princess/) * (@drama-princess) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229901) * Hehe, I think you misunderstood me. =P I mean I need the comments code. WITHOUT themes. =) Thanks for your concern though. 😉 * [skippy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skippy/) * (@skippy) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229902) * Which code do you need? * The code that defines the HTML form used by visitors to leave comments is in ` comments.php` inside your theme directory. * The code that controls how WordPress inserts comments into the database is in`/ wp-includes/` somewhere. * Thread Starter [drama-princess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drama-princess/) * (@drama-princess) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229924) * Number 2. The code that controls how WP inserts comments, etc. The link to comments. =) Please. * [exploding-boy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exploding-boy/) * (@exploding-boy) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229928) * I think it is under the wp-includes folder named something like “comment-functions. php”. * Thread Starter [drama-princess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drama-princess/) * (@drama-princess) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229934) * OOPS. I meant to say the first one, the code that lets visitors leave a message. x| Woops. Sorry, I’m really dumb today. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229936) * Which means we are back to my initial question. (see above) * Thread Starter [drama-princess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drama-princess/) * (@drama-princess) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229940) * Lol omg I’m dense. Sorry guys! I run WordPress 1.5.1.3 The latest version. =) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229942) * As I stated earlier WP 1.5.x works ONLY with themes. Based on the behaviour of your site I assume you don’t have a `comments.php` template in your theme folder, and you don’t have the Default theme installed either.

Usually it looks something like this on websites; “Comments (4)”. When you click on it, it brings you up to the template to view or post a comment. An example is here; [http://kirah.earwordssway.org/](http://kirah.earwordssway.org/) What is the include for this? Do you get it now? =( I feel so stupid. * [skippy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skippy/) * (@skippy) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229949) * I think you want to use the [comments_popup_link()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comments_popup_link) template tag. * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-comments-1/#post-229950) * Drama-Princess: * We’re doing our best to help you.
