 * Below I’m calling the permalink for post 3770 and the title for post 3770 –
 * How can a specify the comment count for post 3770? and specify the excerpt for
   post 3770?
 *  <h2>” title=”<?php echo get_the_title(3770) ?> “>
    <?php echo get_the_title(
   3770) ?>
    <span class=”commentcount”> (<?php comments_popup_link(‘0’, ‘1’, ‘%’);?
   >)</span></h2>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 * Thanks

 * <?php
    global $wpdb; $postID = 56; $title = get_the_title(); $comments = $wpdb-
   >get_row(“SELECT comment_count as count FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = ‘$postID'”);
   $commentcount = $comments->count; echo $commentcount; ?>
 * try this worked for me, remember to change the post id to the one you want
