Title: "Add a Comment"/"Comments: ##" from WordPress.Com Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # "Add a Comment"/"Comments: ##" from WordPress.Com * Resolved [chicagodave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chicagodave/) * (@chicagodave) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/) * I would like the functionality that exists in WordPress.Com for the comments link at the bottom of an article in an RSS feed. * I see this in two different blogs and it is not theme related. It has to be in the core WP code base. * Examples: [https://emshort.wordpress.com/feed/](https://emshort.wordpress.com/feed/) [https://heterogenoustasks.wordpress.com/feed/](https://heterogenoustasks.wordpress.com/feed/) * In both cases, a comments link is appended to the article in the RSS feed. This link does not exist in the article itself. * The pattern is (from the second blog feed): * ``` ``` * The image is a favicon from feeds.wordpress.com that shows either “Add a Comment”( as an image) or “Comments: ##” (also as an image) and the link takes you to the blog comments section directly. * I’m guessing this is a hack in the feeds-rss2.php code, but am unsure what to put there to achieve the same results. * Note that I’ve asked the WordPress.Com folks for help and they sent me here, so please don’t send me back there.

I read both of those blogs at [http://planet-if.com](http://planet-if.com), which has nothing to do with WordPress.Com. * So you’re correct that nothing is wrong with my blog/theme or the WordPress.org codebase. (I didn’t say there was anything wrong). * I’m simply asking for the code that injects the comment link into the RSS feed. * If the answer is, “That’s a proprietary feature of WordPress.Com”, that’s at least an answer. * But if it’s just some php code that .Com uses and is not in the .Org code, why not share? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478347) * Ah, I see, it looks like a post flair type of thing, like what you’d find from Feedburner. * Instead of modifying a core file, I recommend using or writing a plugin. * I’m not 100% sure if [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ozh-better-feed/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ozh-better-feed/) still works, but it used to do exactly what you’re looking for. * If it doesn’t quite work now, it will at least make a great template for your own fork of the plugin. 🙂 * Thread Starter [chicagodave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chicagodave/) * (@chicagodave) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478349) * Thanks, but I wasn’t looking to get into the plugin-writing business. * The solution is in WordPress.Com. It’s just a matter of getting someone to offer a better answer as to why it’s not in the public source code. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478350) * I can’t really say, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities: [https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com) * There’s also a lot under the hood that’s quite different. * Did you try the plugin? If it works, then that’s all you need. * Thread Starter [chicagodave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chicagodave/) * (@chicagodave) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478351) * I just tried the plugin. I shied away at first because of its age, but your persistence paid off. With a little tweaking, it does what I want. * Your patience is much appreciated. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478352) * You’re welcome! 🙂 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘"Add a Comment"/"Comments: ##" from WordPress.Com’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/comments/) * [RSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rss/) * In: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-a-commentcomments-from-wordpresscom/#post-6478352) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
