I am having a few issues with displaying the comments link on my site.<\/p>\n

I am using my own child theme (with the TwentyFourteen theme), the code is directly copied from there.<\/p>\n

<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'themename' ), __( '1 Comment', 'themename' ), __( '% Comments', 'themename' ) ); ?><\/span><\/code>
\n(obviously I have changed the themename part to my own theme’s name)<\/p>\n

When I have no comments, I would like it to say “leave a comment” instead it is saying “0 Comments” How do I fix this.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I don’t want the comments_link to show up on the single post page.<\/p>\n

I figure I need to create some sort of if single loop, but I don’t know the correct code to add to the is single part.<\/p>\n

<?php\n        if (is_single()) :\n\nelse :\n<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'themename' ), __( '1 Comment', 'themename' ), __( '% Comments', 'themename' ) ); ?><\/span>\n        endif;\n        ?><\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6593119","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-comments"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6593119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6593119\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6593119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
