Hi Guys!

Can you help me with a little php please?

I want to change the comments title from “One Comment on [Post Title]” to say “Reader Comments (1)” where the number of comments is updated dynamically.

I understand that it is this part of the wp-comments.php file that I need to alter:

<?php
      printf( _n( 'One Comment on %2$s', '%1$s Comments on %2$s', get_comments_number(), '__x__' ),
        number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ),
        '<span>&ldquo;' . get_the_title() . '&rdquo;</span>'
      );
      ?>

Can you please tell me what I need to alter it to?

Appreciate you guys as always 🙂

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! To change the comments title, I am just assuming that you are using Renew stack. Please follow the following:
1] Using Notepad or TextEdit or Sublime Text or any text editor, please create a new file in your local machine.
2] Insert the following code into that new file

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/RENEW/WP-COMMENTS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The area of the page that contains both current comments and the comment
// form. The actual display of individual comments is handled by a callback to
// the x_comment() function.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php

//
// 1. If the current post is protected by a password and the visitor has not
//    yet entered the password, we will return early without loading the
//    comments.
//

if ( post_password_required() )
  return; // 1

?>

<div id="comments" class="x-comments-area">

  <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

    <h2 class="h-comments-title">
      <?php
      printf( _n( 'Reader Comments (%1$s)', 'Reader Comments (%1$s)', get_comments_number(), '__x__' ),
        number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ),
        '<span>&ldquo;' . get_the_title() . '&rdquo;</span>'
      );
      ?>
    </h2>

    <ol class="x-comments-list">
      <?php
      wp_list_comments( array(
        'callback' => 'x_renew_comment',
        'style'    => 'ol'
      ) );
      ?>
    </ol>

    <?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?>
    <nav id="comment-nav-below" class="navigation" role="navigation">
      <h1 class="visually-hidden"><?php _e( 'Comment navigation', '__x__' ); ?></h1>
      <div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '&larr; Older Comments', '__x__' ) ); ?></div>
      <div class="nav-next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments &rarr;', '__x__' ) ); ?></div>
    </nav>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if ( ! comments_open() && get_comments_number() ) : ?>
    <p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.' , '__x__' ); ?></p>
    <?php endif; ?>

  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php
  comment_form( array(
    'comment_notes_after' => '',
    'id_submit'           => 'entry-comment-submit',
    'label_submit'        => __( 'Submit' , '__x__' )
  ) );
  ?>

</div>

3] Save the file named as wp-comments.php
4] Upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder
wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/renew/

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Thanks Rue, that worked. I’ve ended up modifying it further, so this is resulting code:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/RENEW/WP-COMMENTS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The area of the page that contains both current comments and the comment
// form. The actual display of individual comments is handled by a callback to
// the x_comment() function.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php

//
// 1. If the current post is protected by a password and the visitor has not
//    yet entered the password, we will return early without loading the
//    comments.
//

if ( post_password_required() )
  return; // 1

?>

<div id="comments" class="x-comments-area">

  <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

    <h2 class="h-comments-title">
      <?php
      printf( _n( 'One Reader Comment %2$s', '%1$s Reader Comments %2$s', get_comments_number(), '__x__' ),
        number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ),
        '<span>&ldquo;' . get_the_title() . '&rdquo;</span>'
      );
      ?>
    </h2>

    <ol class="x-comments-list">
      <?php
      wp_list_comments( array(
        'callback' => 'x_renew_comment',
        'style'    => 'ol'
      ) );
      ?>
    </ol>

    <?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?>
    <nav id="comment-nav-below" class="navigation" role="navigation">
      <h1 class="visually-hidden"><?php _e( 'Comment navigation', '__x__' ); ?></h1>
      <div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '&larr; Older Comments', '__x__' ) ); ?></div>
      <div class="nav-next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments &rarr;', '__x__' ) ); ?></div>
    </nav>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if ( ! comments_open() && get_comments_number() ) : ?>
    <p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.' , '__x__' ); ?></p>
    <?php endif; ?>

  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php
	comment_form( array(
	  'title_reply'         => __( '<span>Leave a Comment</span>' , '__x__' ),
	  'comment_notes_after' => '',
      'id_submit'           => 'entry-comment-submit',
      'label_submit'        => __( 'Post Comment' , '__x__' )
  	) );
  ?>  

</div>

And with a little styling, the attached is the how the page looks. Thanks for your help 🙂
