Wordpress!!!!! Simple I hope?

Kym Robinson · 10-21-2008, 07:21 PM

Hi everyone

I was wondering could anybody please tell me how to change the wording where it says...

"0 comments" after a post?

I cant find anywhere to edit it?
I would like it to say something else until there is a comment and then it would be fine for it to say........."6 comments" or how ever many.

any ideas please?

thanks in advance

/wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/comments.php
/wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/comments-popup.php

To change it on the homepage, edit index.php within the theme folder. To change it on the single post pages, edit single.php. To change it on the category pages, edit category.php. To change it on archive pages, edit archive.php. To change it on static pages, edit page.php.

The code looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments', '', ''); ?>

You'd change it to something like this:

PHP Code:

<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments Yet!', '1 Comment', '% Comments', '', ''); ?>

Or whatever text you want.
