 * Trying to figure out why this isn’t working for enabling comments in a pop-up
   window. It’s currently just reloading the same page with a slightly different
   address appended to the domain.
 *     ```
       <?php comments_popup_script(); ?>  
   
       </head>
       <?php include '../includes/header.inc' ?>
   
             <div id="txt">
               <p>
   
       <!-- Get the last 3 posts. -->
       <?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <strong>
       <?php the_title(); ?>
       </strong>
       <br />
       <?php the_date(); ?>
   
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <br />
   
       <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>">
             Comments to this post
       </a>
   
       <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
       <div id="line"></div>
       <?php endwhile;?>
       <!-- End get last 3 posts. -->
       		</p>
       	  </div>
       <?php include '../includes/footer.inc' ?>
       ```

 * I’m still not sure where I’m going wrong. I have <?php comments_popup_script();?
   >
    to enable it and <?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments(
   1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?> within the loop to call it.
 * What am I missing?

 * firstly, where is your single post page..
 * the no comments link behaves exactly as it ought to — so if youre waiting for
   that to change it isnt going to – least not with what you have provided.

 * Thanks for responding! I’m confused as to what you mean by single post page. 
   I don’t think I have one as I just want to display the three most recent posts
   in a page like fashion.
 * Maybe where I’m going wrong is that I don’t want the ‘No Comments’ link to just
   show the comments, I want it to add the user the option to enter a comment as
   well. Currently it just reloads the page, and I guess since there aren’t any 
   comments it looks like it doesn’t change.

 * Did you ever get the solution for popup comments, i’ve been reading some of your
   issues and did see a real answer …
 * then i read this blog and it helped ME with the issue of the popup comments…
 * [http://playworkplay.com/blog/understanding-comments-popupphp/comment-page-1/](http://playworkplay.com/blog/understanding-comments-popupphp/comment-page-1/)
 * in the classic
    `<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>` copy 
   this into your template header.php … `<?php comments_popup_script(); // off by
   default ?>`
 * hope it helps…
