WORDPRESS 25 Comment template.

So, we are already at the finish line! Stayed last lesson. Today we look at the very "heart" of any blog - the template "comments". After all, what kind of blog is it if it does not allow readers to leave comments? Of course, for some the comments are not important, but I can not imagine a blog without them.

Note:

• There is no one correct way to create a “Comments” template in comments.php
• most WP designers use the preset comments template, from the default theme K ubrick
• some designers modify the preset template according to their needs
• today you will only use my modified version of the preset comment template

Step 1

Create a new file: comments.php, copy the contents of the file comments.txt into your comments.php and save it.

Step 2

Copy the contents of the comments-template-css.txt file into your style.css file , placing it at the end of style.css, or directly above #footer .

Step 3

Enter the following under DIV with the id “entry” in the single.php file :

?

The function comments_template () calls the comment template from the comments.php file. Next, the comments.php file runs its code to display a list of comments. Each item in the list is a comment.

You can also use the comments_template () function in the page.php file to allow visitors to leave comments on any page. To do this, or not - you decide. If this suits you, repeat step 3 in the page.php file .

Note: you can easily separate the appearance of comments for pages and posts; it’s enough to specify the following parameter in the page.php file: comments_template ('/ page-comments.php') ; .

We continue. A small explanation: in the single.php file you covered the comments_template ()

DIV tag with the comments-template . Now, your comment template is a numbered list inside the DIV.

If your post is password protected, you will also need to enter a password to leave a comment.

The modified version of the comment template that you use includes the H2 subtitle, which reads as follows: Password protected . In the preset template this is not. The comment_text () function calls the text of each comment.

I will not explain what the CSS code for a comment template means. Unlike the comments.php file, you can easily experiment with CSS code without disturbing the comment template. The practice of working with CSS-code will bring you much more benefit than reading my explanations.

That's all .. Yes, yes, today there will not be a brief overview of the lesson, because this lesson was the last =) Now save everything and enjoy your first topic, collected by yourself! =)
