# comment location

 * hi..
    i’m trying to figure how i may have comments show somewhere, apart from
   the “comments (#)” link (`<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comment(
   1)'), __('Comments (%')); ?>`). as it is now, it seems that it opens up right
   where that link is… i’d really really rather that it didn’t. how may i keep the
   comments link where it is, but have all the comments code and text come up at
   another location on the page? i could really use a nudge in the right direction
   on this one… note: i’d like to avoid using the popup_comments option, as i am
   increasingly wary of pop-up windows (and they are more and more often blocked
   to avoid pop-up spam). also, how could i have the permalinked page of a post 
   be absent of the comments and commentform? that is, have it look exactly as it
   did on the front/main page, except it would stand alone at its permalinked page.
   i’m just getting to know wordpress.. any/all help is very appreciated.

 * Have you given any thought to the “show/hide” plugin?
    I forget where to find
   it, but a search of the support forum should easily turn that up.

 * …i wonder whether something like a.. **print to #name_of_location** might do 
   the task.
    i’m thinking along the lines of something that would work the same
   way the [i] [b] [u] [url] buttons and such work, to automatically paste the commanded
   code into the proper form.. would that work? i don’t know how to write the code
   myself to do so, or to even know if that’s what would work or not.. but that’s
   my best guess right now…

 * This is not difficult (says he who has only ever used two php calls in his life).
   But surely what we need to do is identify the code which calls the comments in
   wp-comments.php and uplift it from there to where we want (like the menu or anywhere
   else). As long as we do not go outside the loop we are OK.
    The code required
   in this case starts with something like *if comments for each.* etc. Have a good
   look at the wp-comments.php. Php seems fairly intuitive, and you might find it
   easier than you fear. I have just hacked mine a bit and only modest amounts of
   cussing was necessary.

 * php does seem intuitive.. but you’re giving me a lot of benefit of doubt 😉 it
   doesn’t quite speak to me yet. i will certainly try to use the direction you’ve
   offered, though… we’ll see how this goes..
