Are you talking about just a pop-up window? I’m not sure what you mean…
I’m talking about generating a popup with the comment form in, and the comments for the post, but not by using the built in functions to do it.
In other words, I would like to use, as I said SoopaPop, to open the comment popup.
I have no idea how to do that. Why don’t you want to use the form that comes with WP? What is SoopaPop?
Deb, it’s in your index.php. Look in your <head> for a line that looks like this:
<?php // comments_popup_script(); //off by default ?> (near the bottom of the <head>
Just take out the sets of // and ‘off by default’ and you’ll be popping up your comments in no time.
Thanks, Cena. I just did that but when I click on a comment it still goes to a page and doesn’t pop up. 🙁 I have it looking like this now:
<?php // comments_popup_script(); ?>
Is that correct?
No…take out that other ‘//’ . 🙂 (That’s how PHP says ‘don’t pay attention to any of this stuff’.)
Thank you Cena! It works. 🙂
Uhm…gotta ‘nother problem, I think. Now that I’ve set up comments in a popup, the trackback URL seems to have disappeared. How will visitors know what URL to trackback to for my blog posts? The URL was displayed when comments were in a popup, now URLs aren’t.

how to change the width and height of the comments pop up page?
from the readme:
<?php comments_popup_script() ?>
This will include the javascript that is required to open comments, trackback and pingback in popup windows.
You should put this tag before the </head> tag in your template.
Parameters:
* width (default is 400)
* height (default is 400)
* file name, in case you want to use a different template for comments (default is b2commentspopup.php)
So to get a 300×200 window, you’d use < ?php comments_popup_script(‘300′,’200’) ?>
Yay, It’s working, thank you! 🙂
