Allow comments in categories

[David Ares garrido]

Hello

Is it possible to allow comments but only in one category (like Blog)?

[Bill Robbins]

David,

Interesting idea. You can do that using WordPress’ built in conditional tags. Here’s how:

1. Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on the right, choose single.php and look for this spot:

   
   <?php comments_template('',true); ?>
   

3. Replace that with this:
   
4. Change Your Category to the name of the category where you’d like to have your comments available
5. Save your changes.

That should do it. If you have any questions or trouble, let me know.

Thank you for your business,
Bill

David,

Could you post the code you ended up with at http://gist.github.com and then enter the link to it back here so I can a look at it?

Thanks,
Bill
