The comments.php file (taken directly from the latest WordPress theme) has no such line. Can you please advise where and/or to exactly add this line of code you are suggesting?

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying comments
 *
 * The area of the page that contains both current comments
 * and the comment form.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Fifteen
 * @since Twenty Fifteen 1.0
 */

/*
 * If the current post is protected by a password and
 * the visitor has not yet entered the password we will
 * return early without loading the comments.
 */
if ( post_password_required() ) {
	return;
}
?>

<div id="comments" class="comments-area">

	<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
		<h2 class="comments-title">
			<?php
				printf( _nx( 'One thought on &ldquo;%2$s&rdquo;', '%1$s thoughts on &ldquo;%2$s&rdquo;', get_comments_number(), 'comments title', 'twentyfifteen' ),
					number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ), get_the_title() );
			?>

That did the trick. (Duh.) Sorry I didn’t try that before posting here. Thank you!

After a week of continuing to try to solve this issue, I still haven’t had any luck. Thanks x500.net for your link, but unfortunately that plugin duplicated too many things and did not play nice with some of the other plugins.

It’s hard for me to believe that there isn’t a script or plugin that tells the search feature to index everything in the database — both in the media gallery and in other folders/data tables, but either one doesn’t, or I haven’t found it yet.

If anyone else comes across this post and has a solution to this problem, please let me know!

We haven’t been uploading images via FTP to the uploads folder. That’s not the issue at hand. The issue is whether we can include a way for the search feature to index images that have been uploaded using a gallery plugin to a folder in wp-content… For example, this image is NOT being listed when you search for “imagename” : mysite.com/wp-content/fancygallery/imagename.jpg but it is listed if it’s in: mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/imagename.jpg

Does that help clarify? In short, I am just needing a way for the search feature to list images that are also outside of the uploads folder.

Thanks, but I assume that would mean I need to create custom post types, which would change the navigation in the dashboard? I think this would be problematic since there are already hundreds of posts on the site and I was hoping to use code (like I tried above) to make it much more automatic and apply to previous posts.

I try that if I can’t figure it a CSS solution.
