How To Add ‘Comments’ To Wordpress Pages

Subscribe in a reader Personal August 21st, 2007

As I am going through my learning process of blogging and wordpress, I find that I would like to do some tweaking myself and outsource other tasks. Today I wanted to write a little how to on adding the “comments section” to your static pages. For example, the about me page or your resources page. So people could leave comments on every page you offer valued content, not just your blog posts.

Lets get started:

1. Go to your theme files (either from your ftp program or your server)
2. From your theme files, find your ‘page.php’ file.
3. Place this line of code or tag:  <?php comments_template(); ?>  to that file.

I placed that tag before this line of code in my theme: </div><!–/content –>
and this did the trick.

So to rap up this easy addition to your theme just do this from your Cpanel:

/public_html / “yoursitename” / wp-content / themes / “yourthemename” / page.php

 From there click that file to edit it and add the code. Your done!

Let me know if  anyone has any questions.
