Wordpress Theme Step By Step Tutorial - Part 18: Usually, below comments list, we show a form which readers can post their comment. This post will talk how to show comment form at single post page.
Open your "comments.php". Enter following code:
<? if ( $comments ): ?>
<ol id="commentlist">
<? foreach ($comments as $comment): ?>
<li id="comment-<? comment_ID() ?>">
<? comment_text(); ?>
<p>
<cite>
<? comment_type(__('Comment'),
__('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?>
<? _e('by') ?>
<? comment_author_link() ?> —
<? comment_date() ?> @
<a href="#comment-<? comment_ID() ?>">
<? comment_time() ?>
</a>
</cite>
<? edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ' |') ?>
</p>
<? endforeach; ?>
</ol>
<? else : ?>
<p><? _e('No comments.'); ?></p>
<? endif; ?>
<?php if (comments_open()) : ?>
<h3 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h3>
<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration')
&& !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/
wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>
<form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout"
title="Log out of this account">Logout »</a></p>
<?php else : ?>
<p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="22" tabindex="1" />
<label for="author"><small>Name <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>
<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="22" tabindex="2" />
<label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>
<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="22" tabindex="3" />
<label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<!--<p><small><strong>XHTML:</strong>
You can use these tags: <code><?php echo allowed_tags(); ?>
</code></small></p>-->
<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment"
cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" type="submit"
id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
</p>
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The result may like this:
