 * I tried to modify my comments template, but when I uploaded it, it had the comment
   form under ALL posts on that page, you didn’t get to click the link to go to 
   the comments which is what I want. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with
   this:
    [code] <?php // Do not delete these lines if ('wp-comments.php' == basename(
   $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
   $req = get_settings('require_name_email'); if (($withcomments) or ($single)) {
   if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password if ($_COOKIE['wp-
   postpass_'.$cookiehash] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the
   cookie ?> <?php _e("Enter your password to view comments."); ?> <?php return;}}
   $comment_author = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['
   comment_author_'.$cookiehash]) : ''; $comment_author_email = (isset($_COOKIE['
   comment_author_email_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_email_'.
   $cookiehash]) : ''; $comment_author_url = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.
   $cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.$cookiehash]) : ''; $comments
   = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $tablecomments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$
   id' AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date"); ?> <!-- You can start
   editing here. --> <h2 id="comments"><?php comments_number(__("Lemons"), __("1
   Lemon"), __("% Lemons")); ?> <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) { ?> 
   [">»](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-template-help/?output_format=md#postcomment)
   <?php } ?> </h2> <?php if ('open' == $post->ping_status) { ?> <?php } ?> <?php
   if ($comments) { ?> <h1><?php comment_author() ?><h1> <p align="left"><?php comment_date()?
   > at <?php comment_time() ?> [ <?php comment_author_email_link() ?> <?php comment_author_url_link()?
   > ] <p align="left"><?php comment_text() ?> <?php } // end for each comment ?
   >
 * <?php } else { // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    <?php
   _e("No lemons yet. Why don't you give me one?"); ?> <?php } ?> <h2 id="postcomment"
   ><?php _e("Give me a Lemon"); ?></h2> <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status){?
   > <form action="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" 
   method="post" id="commentform"> <input type="text" name="author" id="author" 
   class="textarea" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="28" tabindex="1"/
   > <label for="author"><?php _e("Name"); ?></label> <?php if ($req) _e('(required)');?
   > <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" /> <
   input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["
   REQUEST_URI"]); ?>" /> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php
   echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="28" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email">
   <?php _e("E-mail"); ?></label> <?php if ($req) _e('(required)'); ?> <input type
   ="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="
   28" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><?php _e("http://"); ?></label> <label for
   ="comment"><?php _e("Your Comment"); ?></label>
 *  <?php wp_grins(); ?> <textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="28" rows="4"
   tabindex="4"></textarea>
    <input name="submit" type="submit" tabindex="5" value
   ="<?php _e("Say It!"); ?>" /> </form> <?php } else { // comments are closed ?
   > <?php _e("Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time."); ?> <?php } ?> 
   <?php // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head } ?> [/code]

 * Use the backtick character to wrap SMALL bits of code in the forum. It’s the 
   character on the same key as the tilde ( ~ ).
    Also, it’s much appreciated if
   you post large blocks of code somewhere else and provide a link to it.
