# Seperate comments input from comments loop

 * Hey guys..
 * the invocation for the comments template is `<?php comments_template(); ?>`
 * that generates the input boxes as well as performs the loop to display all the
   comments associated with the blog post.
 * What i’m trying to do is seperate those 2 things, so that i can display the input
   boxes (name, email, comments etc), in a seperate place on the page and then have
   the loop for the comments display elsewhere on the page… ie, not all in one concurrent
   row…
 * appreciate your help… thanks

 * I am trying the exact same thing, and i have figured out how to solve it visualy.
   The only problem is that this returns a blank page instead of posting the comments.
 * Any solutions?

 * Like this
    [http://www.evitanet.info/2006/10/02/33/](http://www.evitanet.info/2006/10/02/33/)?
 * In that case, it is easy:
    Put in the normal single.php a new div (float:left).
   In this div put the commentform (and maybe your sidebar-content). Delete <?php
   get_sidebar(); ?>. Delete from the comments.php the commentform.
 * And that was about it.

 * I am sorry Evita, but its not exactly what I were looking for. Thanks for trying
   though 😉
 * I have succeeded in separating the writing-comment-part from the reading-comment-
   part, but the comments will not display. Instead i get the “No comments yet” 
   message, although there are comments to the post.

 * My page is in norwegian, so you may not be able to understand what is written
   in the menues and other places. The post is just a “Lorem ipsum-text” at this
   stage, since I am only developing my theme.
 * If anyone have the solution for displaying the comments that should be there,
   I am very greatfull.

 * I have given up for now, and just used the regular display of comments.
