    hi there, i wanted to know if it was possible to change where the link to i.e ‘3 comments left’ goes and also where my archive and catagory list link goes for example when it says posted in catagory NEWS how do i get that link to go where i want it?.
    i basically want to have my own personalised page for them and the link keeps going to the default template that comes with wordpress from my site.
    Also i wanted to change the header in comment pop up or remove some of the items in the pop up box as they are not needed. does anyone know how i can define what goes in the pop up box?

    i want my users comments to appear under my blog posts but my comments text tag does not produce anything ?

    anyway thanks for your help, check out the links here to get what i mean http://www.mintedmango.com/blog.php

    hi i checked the links and i cant find how to make the url of the comments link and archives link and catagory link to go where i want it apart from the default. do i just change the comments template into something i want? in fact that must be it!
    erm what is the comments php page called? if i add in comments_text php tags to a blank page and save over the default will it work?

    muggzy,
    to understand better how WP works, I’d change your initial question in the title of this thread: it’s not about controlling where theygo but rather having control of the places = files where those links go.
    To change where the archive links goes probably would involve hacking the code. On the other hand you can control what are the files and how they look like where those links point. It’s all about the templates. See the Template Hierarchy in the Codex:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy.

    For the comments I guess you will have to modifiy the index.php of your template how and when the comments appear (supposed I understoof well you want the comments to be ALL the time there below your posts).
