Plus, I think it only works inside the comment loop Try using the good old <code>get_comments_number( $ID )</code>, and give the testimonial postID as parameter. 1visible on "Add comment_count to my_multiplecomments_text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/add-comment_count-to-my_multiplecomments_text#post-25401 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:37:56 +0000 1visible 25401@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Yes, that's what I have done. But the result is always "zero comments…" instead of for exemple "28 comments…". The fact is I have only one page with opened comments, it's a testimonial page. The query here is: how to display in the sidebar on the entire site, the number of those testimonials from this particulary page ? I can edit a simple html line by hand to do that, of course. But I was hoped than the Thematic power could do this by itself. With my noob words I'll tell something like: "It's missing the "page ID filter" to tell how many comments there are on this page." 1visible on "Add custom fields on comment template" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/add-custom-fields-on-comment-template#post-25400 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:26:03 +0000 1visible 25400@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ HI, Yes I'm using a child theme of course.

Are you trying to add extra fields to the comment form? If so then you'll need to be filtering WP's <code>comment_form_default_fields</code> and you'll need to be aware that Thematic is also filtering that via <code>thematic_comment_form_args()</code> which is found in Thematic's comments-extensions.php What you have posted above will not work for several reasons: - <code>thematic_form_default_fields</code> does not exist as a filter in Thematic - Your use of the "thematic" namespace in defining the function <code>thematic_add_custom_fields()</code>is wrong. You should use a unique namespace for your child theme instead like 'my_child theme_add_custom_fields()` 1visible on "Add comment_count to my_multiplecomments_text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/add-comment_count-to-my_multiplecomments_text#post-25396 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:14:20 +0000 1visible 25396@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Sorry but I just realize: Is there any way to print this return on sidebar ?

SO, in your case: <pre><code>function kia_change_avatar_size(){ //we don't need the original value return 200; //send back a really large size } add_filter('avatar_size','kia_change_avatar_size');</code></pre> 2.) disable threaded comments in your Settings>Discussion meevil on "Thematic Comments" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-comments#post-25325 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:18:10 +0000 meevil 25325@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hey guys, me again!
