  1. I’m happy to know the new version of _s is out and I’m very happy to see this announcement about the new version. Thanks for all.

    A small question I want to ask on the method for calling comment template on single.php and page.php, why there is a conditional statement in single.php but not in page.php? I do not find that different in single.php and page.php of Twenty Twelve. I want to ask this on github but I’m still not familiar with it, I’m sorry if this is not an appropriate place for this question.

    I’m sorry and many thanks.

    1. Thanks for the kind words! Re: your issue, it looks like there’s already a similar issue for this: https://github.com/Automattic/_s/pull/132.

      1. Thanks.
        I visit that link just now and actually it’s same with my problem that makes me know that different. It arises when styling .comment-area. But only in page.php. Now from that link I know it’s also in image.php.

        Will that commit be merged to the _s?

        Many thanks again and I’m sorry for my bed English, I’m still learning it now.

        1. It’s definitely possible that the commit will be merged. It’s just a matter of us having time to test the patch and verify that it works. In the meantime, feel free to make changes to your own copy of _s, and for future discussions please post them to GitHub and someone will be sure to answer!

      2. OK, I have commented there.
        I’m sorry and thanks.

  2. Excited about this! Thank you for all your hard work!

  3. infinite scroll still isn’t massively prevalent… yet. how are you seeing the growth and demand for it? i love the idea but have only implemented it on a few sites so far.

  4. This is great news! I love _s
