Hi,

I hope you can help me out here.

I've modified the code on the comments.php as suggested for Pingbacks to read:


<ul class="commentlist"> <?php wp_list_comments('type=all&callback=art_comment'); ?></ul><ul class="commentlist"> <?php wp_list_comments('type=pings&callback=art_comment'); ?> </ul>


But it is still showing "No Comments" on the links of the posts.

I've verified that Comments are turned on and if you hover over the No Comments link it is saying "comment on"

Is there a way to get this to display correctly?

The URL: http://www.virtualmarketeers.com/

Thank you so much for your help.

Caroline

HI,

Very nice site, I have the same problem you have. BTW how did you add the captcha?

Thanks!

Try changing the type=all to type=comment in the code below. That's how mine is and it works fine.

<?php wp_list_comments('type=all&callback=art_comment'); ?>

Thank you so much for the replies and the nice comment George.

The site is actually for a client in Australia and she really wants the comments turned on -which they are - but nobody really knows it.

To add the captcha I used the plugin "SI Contact Form" - it was extremely easy to install you just add a little piece of code right onto the Contact Form and voila.

Bud thank you - but that code is already there and it didn't work on it's own. I then added underneath that:
<ul class="commentlist"> <?php wp_list_comments('type=pings&callback=art_comment'); ?>

From what I understood from reading through the forum that there is a pingback code missing and that should fix it. I assumed that it would also fix the 'no comments' when the comments were enabled link.

Thank you again for you replies.

Warmly,
Caroline.

Sorry to keep bothering you on this - but does anyone have an answer to this problem.

Is this an Artisteer issue or a Wordpress issue, it is very bothersome and any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Thank you
Caroline.

Have you written some sample comments and moderated them so that they start showing on posts page.

Hi Garry,

No we haven't done that - but that is a good work around in the meantime. It still won't fix the problem though I don't think.

I will go in and start commenting on the posts that the client has posted and see what happens.

Thank you so much for your response.

Caroline.

Does your comments work perfectly without your modification.

Hi Caroline,

I just looked at your site and it appears to be working fine. On the posts without any comments, it say's "No Comments" indicating there have been no comments made yet on that post. However on the one post that does have a comment (In Business) it say's "1 Comment", indicating there has been (1)one comment made on that post so far. Maybe I am missing something here, or maybe you already got it fixed?

Hi again,

Sorry, for not responding again sooner.

I actually went in a created a comment for the client to show that people could leave a comment.

I guess basically what the client is looking for is instead of 'no comment' she would like it to read 'leave comment'.

I have seen this in other Wordpress sites and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to stop reading 'no comment'.

I understand what you are saying Herb and I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you all for taking the time to offer your help.

Warmly,
Caroline.

Hi Caroline,

I just searched an exported wordpress theme and the string 'No Comments' appears in the following php files.
archive.php, comments.php, index.php, page.php, search.php & single.php.

If you change the string in each of these from:
e.g. the one in index looks like this:
<?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), __('1 Comment &#187;', 'kubrick'), __('% Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), '', __('Comments Closed', 'kubrick') ); ?> 


So change the 'No Comments...' to 'Leave a comment...'
and see if that works....

I'd export a fresh set of files to play with, in case you mess up your real one.

Apologies for the earlier post - unfortunately I've got the same problem as Caroline.

I've changed the 6 files as mentioned by Dave but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be working - any help would be appreciated!!

Many thanks

Hugo.

Hi Everyone,

I've been wanting to do this for a while and have found where to change the text! It's in the index.php file.

Do a search for "no comments" and you should find a line like the following;
<?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), __('1 Comment &#187;', 'kubrick'), __('% Comments &#187;', 'kubrick'), '', __('Comments Closed', 'kubrick') ); ?>

I just changed the No Comments to Leave a comment and it works a breaze!

Note: From the most recent update (dec 31st)

Support for the "Allow Comments" option in page settings. Removed the text “comments are closed” when turned off.

Note100% sure if this is relevant to this discussion!

I have the same problems as described above, with a twist...

If I go to index.php. I find a redirect there to wp-blog-header, which also leads to a redirect: wp-load.php, which to me also seems another redirect.

Is this an Artisteer-thing, or is this Wordpress?

I can not find the file to correct the errors of both 'No Comment' instead of 'Leave a comment", and even when clicking on 'No Comment' there is no way of adding a comment...

Do you have this issue only with Artisteer generated themes

Yes, the issue only happens with Artisteer generated themes.
The moment I take any of the default themes, or download free themes and install those, the problem does not appear.

Instead of 'No Comments' it says 'Write a comment' and the moment you click on it, it is possible to write a comment.

I did.
The response I got was: "Artisteer themes are 100 percent error free".

Great service for the money I paid...

Have you tried installing a freshly exported Artisteer theme without making any css/HTML edits.
