Hi All,

I can not seem to figure out code or find a plugin to automatically expand comments on a post.

The site I am doing in question Perth Leading Trampoline Manufacturer | Trampoline Repairs Perth if you go to the testimonials menu you will see i have made 1 post, and added a comment from myself to test.

All it shows at bottom right is 1 comment.

What I am hoping is that someone knows the code and or plugin to make this automaticallyshow up and not be hidden.

Fingers crossed that someone can help.

    I believe that is a limitation of the theme you are using.

      I am hoping that is not true...lol

      If other themes have "code" in them that does show, can it be a process of changing some code???

      I hope so.

        Hi there

        You need to add this code to your post or page file in your theme where you want the comments displayed

        <ol class="commentlist">
        <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
        </ol>

        can be placed in div, ol or li tags

        If you have no idea how to this shoot me a PM and I will see if I can help you out.

          Hi Andy,

          I was just trying this out on a test site I have, but unsure which page to edit.

          Should it be page.php, index.php, or the comments.php file

          On my test site in comments php i put the code but it did not work???

          Would love it if I can get this sorted

            Sorry I think I got it wrong (half a sleep)

            You may need to add this to post or page inside the loop

            <?php comments_template(); ?>

            if this is already present then the comments template needs editing

            copy and paste the comments template code into a PM and send that to me. I cant figure it out without seeing the code, sorry if I am not making any sense.

            If you send me a login (via PM) I should be able to sort it. I understand if you do not want to do this.

            Maybe someone else can better explain how to get it working.

              Hi Andy,

              I am slowly figuring it out.

              You were actually sort of right in the first place.

              I added those lines of code into the comments.php file and it didnt show....Not until i actually clicked on the "1 Comment" then it showed your bit of code and the comment which is generated by the comments.php file.

              So unless I am starting to do something wrong, i have created a php page called comment_page.php and am editing that file. Just trying to figure out where to place the code.

              If you use contact form on my sig i will then email you the 2 files concerned if i havent figured out by then.

              Cheers

              Correction its not working, wherever i seem to put the code.

              Shows fine when i actually click the link to show the comment. But how to make this be on the one page.

              Look forward to your email.

                  Well got it working....or should I say the result i wanted was achieved.

                  In the start of the problem i had the testimonials page as a posts page.
                  It only needs 1 paragraph there to say customers leave a comment on your purchase.

                  So i ended up reverting back to a page, and telling it to not be a posts page.

                  But als it was still then not showing comments.

                  For some reason it worked when i copied the default wordpress theme page.php and comments.php over the current themes files.

                  A little tweaking in the code all is good.

                  A thanks to Andy for looking and trying.
