Showing x amount of comments on post list in WordPress

Question

Hi all,

Im currently scouting for a plugin for Wordpress which will show a certain amount of comments for each blog entry on the home page and under each category.

For example on the home page:

Entry #3 Blog content Comment Comment Comment

Entry #2 Blog content Comment Comment Comment

Entry #1 Blog content Comment Comment Comment

I hope Ive explained clearly. I havent found what Im looking for yet, maybe Im searching the wrong phrases!

Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks for your time!

Answer 1

I think you want to update your template with the get_comments function.

<?php get_comments('array_args'); ?>

These are the arguments:

<?php $defaults = array(
'status' => ,
'orderby' => 'comment_date_gmt',
'order' => 'DESC',
'number' => ,
'offset' => ,
'post_id' => 0); ?>

So you would want to set the number to 3. The rest of the arguments are pretty self explanatory.
