“Comment Comments For This Post”

chinmoy, which comment related file are you talking about? And which code do I replace with `<?php comments_number(‘No’, ‘1’, ‘%’ );?>?

Thanks, and sorry if I don’t reply soon, just about to go to bed.

Here is what comments.php has:

<?php
global $wpdb;

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID,
comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_date_gmt, comment_approved,
comment_type,comment_author_url,
SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,150) AS com_excerpt
FROM $wpdb->comments
LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID =
$wpdb->posts.ID)
WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND
post_password = ''
ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 6";

$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$output = $pre_HTML;

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$output .= "\n
<li>"."<a href=\"" . get_permalink($comment->ID) .
"#comment-" . $comment->comment_ID . "\" title=\"on " .
$comment->post_title . "\">" .strip_tags($comment->comment_author)
.": " . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt)
."...</a></li>

";
}

$output .= $post_HTML;

echo $output; ?>

Here’s legacy.comments.php:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

	if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
		if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
			?>

			<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>

			<?php
			return;
		}
	}

	/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
	$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

<?php
	global $bm_comments;
	global $bm_trackbacks;

	split_comments( $comments );
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>

	<?php
		$trackbackcounter = count( $bm_trackbacks );
