Inappropriate?I have the same problem as Diane (running Wordpress: GrassrootsPA.com).
Some of my posts aren't counting any comments, and others have less comments being counted than actually exist.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for getting in contact. I apologize for the delay. Our plugin hooks into the function comments_popup_link (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_T...). Please use this in your templates. That should do it.
Thanks for your patience.

Inappropriate?Yep, already have that function in my template, Michael.
For some reason some comments just aren't taken into account when the number of comments are displayed on my front page.
The numbers are off, don't know how else to explain it.
I’m frustrated
-
FYI: I have "Wordpress Standard Comment Links" enabled because Internet Explorer refuses to load comment count numbers when "IntenseDebate Enhanced Comment Links" in enabled.
I would obviously prefer "IntenseDebate Enhanced Comment Links" but
1) #'s Won't load on front page in Internet Explorer
2) Takes FOREVER To load. -
Chris, did this ever get taken care of? -
Inappropriate?I found out that the Flickr HTML Badge was causing my Intense Debate Comment system to not function properly. If you have a Flickr HTML Badge, or any other code, go one by one disabling, previewing to see if it will function...
I’m joy.

Inappropriate?nope. nevermind. that just temporarily fixed it. having the same problem with comments again. http://www.saltcycle.com

Inappropriate?im guessing since this was bumped up this evening other people are seeing the same thing. Just earlier this evening comments counts stopped being tracked on the homepage. My older articles are fine but the ones from today are showing 0 comments. Also had someone mention that they've had comments deleted (which I dont do)
-
What's the URL to your website so I can check this out please :) -
Inappropriate?I've just started have this problem as well. I'm working on a new theme for my WordPress site, and the comments link isn't working for it.
On the index page, the link is just "comments" instead of "x comments". And on the single posts and page templates, the link isn't there at all. (Not the norm, but I would like it to be there, if that's possible)
By the way, I have the Intense Debate enhanced comment links activated.
This is the index file-
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php if ($count == 1) : ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="postcontent"><div id="postcenter">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<div id="older"><h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And this is where the link is being implemented (in a separate 'sidebar' file):
<div id="postright">
<h2 class="date">july 15</h2>
<ul class="sidepost">
<li><?php comments_popup_link
('zero','one','more','CSSclass','none');
?>
</li>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#reply">Add Comment</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Tossed In...</h2>
<ul class="sidepost">
<li><?php the_category('</li><li>'); ?></li></ul>
</ul>
Since the theme isn't activated yet, here's a screen shot: [index]
...I hope all of that code got posted correctly! =P
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Hi Eka, I'm not quite sure how your theme files fit together, but it sounds like you're trying to display comment counts in your sidebar, which I don't believe will work. I think because of the scope of the variables set up to handle post and comment information (in WordPress), you won't be able to access that information in a sidebar (if it's a true sidebar, not just another column within a normal layout).
If you disable ID comment links and just use the default WordPress links, does it work?
Perhaps you could send me a zip file of your theme so I could take a look: support@intensedebate.com
Thanks,
Beau -
Yes! That worked! Thanks a ton! :D -
Inappropriate?Hello i have the similar problem with my comment links on my homepage. My blog is http://techjump.org When i click to "2 Коментара (english: 2 comments)" or "1 Коментар (english: 1 comment)" I do not get forwarded to the specific comments of the post. How to fix it?
I’m confused

HI Atanas, you don't appear to have the IntenseDebate plugin enabled at all? I can't see any trace of it on your site. Can you please check that you have it enabled? -
Inappropriate?Sorry, I found this discussion on Google and thought about Wordpress as a whole, because I have not seen in the title that refers to IntenseDebate. My problem is with Wordpress. I apologize again.
