Thanks for sharing your findings! :-)

Best,

Chris

I found an easy solution for this. It's not perfect but I'm sharing it here for other users that want the same thing.

In archive.php I changed <?php the_excerpt();?> to <?php the_content();?> This is to show the full post on the homepage and not just the excerpt.

And just after <?php the_content();?> added the following line of code:
<?php global $withcomments; $withcomments = 1; comments_template(); ?> Now the comment link is shown on the homepage posts. Because this code also displays the comment link on all other pages (like my "links" page, I added the following code to the css stylesheet editor:

body.page-id-13 #commentToggle {display: none;} In this line of code the page-id number is the page where you want to hide the comment links.

I am not a coder and I'm only sharing here what worked for me. I hope it's useful for others who want to do the same.

@Chris, feel free to remove this post if you feel it's not appropriate.

Thanks for your swift reply Chris. I was hoping maybe one of the other users of the theme would have figured out a solutions for this. Like I said, I'm not a coder but it's probably a small and easy thing to modify for someone with some php knowledge.

Best regards,

Hi there,

The WordPress comments template only works on single posts and pages.

If you want to explore a custom solution, please submit a request here: http://themolitor.com/custom

Thanks for the great template! I am working on a blog with short stories. Because the stories are so short, I don't want the excerpts on the homepage but the full stories. I modified the archive.php file and changed <?php the_excerpt();?> to <?php the_content();?> so now the full stories are shown on the homepage.

How can I also enable comments on this page? I tried to put the <?php comments_template(); ?> in archive.php but it doesn't work. Commenting only works if people first click on the story to show it in single page.

Can someone tell me how to enable comments on my homepage? I'm not a coder, I just use my common sense so please give a clear and step by step explanation.
