# Trackback link location

 * I’m having trouble getting my trackback_url tag to display where I want it to.
   I want it to display right above the “Leave a Comment” box when the post is viewed
   separately, i.e. not on the main page.
 * My first thought was to place it in my comments.php file, but it won’t display
   there. Next I tried placing it after the php tag that calls the comments page
   in index.php, and it does display there, but it comes up on the main page as 
   well as on the individual post, and I don’t want trackback links on the main 
   page.
 * My first question is whether the contents of comments.php are in The Loop if 
   they’re called on in The Loop.
 * My second question is if there is a way to hide certain items on the main page.
 * Also, if anyone has been successful in displaying trackback URLs in the way I’ve
   described and have a different solution, I’d be glad to hear it.
 * Thanks, ~Quincy~
 * P.S. I’m running WP 1.5.

 * If you want a trackback link only on a comments page it will have to be placed
   in that file.
 * It should go somewhere within this section of code. Yours may vary slightly due
   to theme variations.
 * `
    <label for="comment"><?php _e('Your Comment'); ?></label>
 *  <textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="50" rows="4" tabindex="4"></textarea
   >
 *  <input name="submit" id="submit" type="submit" tabindex="5" value="<?php _e('
   Say It!'); ?>" />
 * If you place the TB code just below the “Your comment” line it will appear just
   above the entry box.
 * If is is just below the “submit” section of code the TB will appear just under
   the “submit” button.

 * Marc,
 * Turns out it was something entirely different. My template was referencing the
   default comments.php file rather than the one in the template folder, which I
   was editing. Once I figured that out, everything worked. Thanks for the help,
   though.
