 * Hi Guys,
 * We recently made a website and are using wordpress as an editor.
 * Basically what the problem is when people visit the page we want them to be able
   to comment on some of our posts.
 * If you can visit this page [http://www.internalmarketingagency.com](http://www.internalmarketingagency.com)
 * and as you can see there is one post up there, and a little 0 next to the title
   displaying the number of comments added.
 * What we want to enable is a way for anyone to be able to write comments about
   the post displayed.
 * And we’re not too sure how to enable this, first time website makers.
 * Does anyone have any suggestions, would be highly helpful.
 * Ta

 * I was able to comment just now.
    The problem is that there isn’t an obvious link
   to comment. Are you using a downloaded theme, or did you design it?

 * The code missing on the index.php file is below.
    `<?php comments_popup_link('
   No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>`

 * You can click on the post title from the homepage, which brings you to the post’s
   page, and I was able to comment there. Feel free to delete it.
 * If you have FTP access to your server, you can edit the file with any text editor.
   But if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can edit the file with Theme
   Editor from your WordPress Dashboard.
 * Dashboard -> Design -> Theme Editor -> index.php

 * Hey Geoff,
 * Great I see what you mean.
 * Im in the index.php is there anywhere in particular where I should add the code
 * <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?>
 * Or just somewhere at the end,
 * Cheers

 * And also,
 * is there a way to display the comments that people have wrote on that first page
   too?

 * It depends on where you want that link to appear on your homepage, but it has
   to reside within “The Loop.” Post your index.php’s code here, and I can tell 
   you where to paste the new line.
 * Most likely it’ll be immediately after:
 *     ```
       <div class="entry">
       <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * [@and](https://wordpress.org/support/users/and/) also,
    I think that’s possible,
   but it defeats the purpose of having a separate page for the post; and it’ll 
   eventually make the homepage extremely long if you are to have more posts in 
   the future.

 * Yeah thats probably a good point is there a way to make a text that says leave
   a comment?
 * And here is all the index.php –
