 * Hi, Do I just install and activate for this to work? It’s not showing up (i still
   get previous and next links) but I’ve been digging around and don’t seem to find
   any other settings to turn it on. Not on multi-site.

 * Hello,
 * You have to replace the prev/next link code with the pagination code. All of 
   the details are included in the installation instructions:

 * Same problem here, although I did replace the code blocks in loop.php (above/
   below).
 * Thing is, I’m not altogether certain if the category page I’m building (category-
   blah.php in my theme folder) is looking at the loop.php page at all. The page
   I’m building has a loop that displays 10 posts for the category…so maybe the 
   pagination code must go directly in this page?
 * Any advice?
 * (Yes, I’ve read the installation info)

 * When the instructions say “Replace your existing previous_comments_link() and
   next_comments_link() code block with the following:”
 * Does that mean replace:
 *     ```
       <div class="commentnav">
       				<div class="commentnav-right"><?php next_comments_link(__('Next Comments &uarr;','comicpress')) ?></div>
       				<div class="commentnav-left"><?php previous_comments_link(__('&darr; Previous Comments','comicpress')) ?></div>
       ```
   
 * So it looks like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="commentnav">
          <div class="commentnav-right"><?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate_comments')) {
           wp_paginate_comments();
       } ?></div>
          <div class="commentnav-left"><?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate_comments')) {
           wp_paginate_comments();
       } ?></div>
       ```
   
 * Or this:
 *     ```
       <div class="commentnav">
          <div class="commentnav-right"><?php if(function_exists('wp_paginate_comments')) {
           wp_paginate_comments();
       } ?></div>
       ```
   
 * I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I know enough about php to know that
   a single comma or period in the wrong place can break everything. Seeing EXACTLY
   what the finished product should look like is the only way us non-programmers
   can be sure we’re doing it right.
