Add comment form to archive posts

[simbasounds]

I'm looking for a function to add a comment form at the end of posts in archives. I tried the following with various hooks:

function add_genesis_comments() {
	if (is_archive()) {
		add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_get_comments_template' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_genesis_comments' );

As you posted this a while ago, I’m hoping that you were able to get your issue resolved 🙂 – if not, report back here, so it can be escalated.

I can't even remember what this was for, but no, I don't think I managed to solve it.
If the forum is to be considered a resource of knowledge, then it should probably be answered.
Thanks

The forum is made up of volunteers, who answer questions as they have availability, or the knowledge to assist. There is no guarantee that you will receive a response, nor is it official StudioPress support, but I'm happy to escalate to see if someone can give you an answer.

Thanks Susan, yes I understand that. I simply meant in a general sense that if someone had the same issue they could come here and find the answer, seeing as it's probably something that people would need ie. the ability to have comments in a blog archive. No pressure whatsoever : ) Most humbly grateful to the volunteers..

Gotcha (we just get people who have expectations beyond the scope of this forum!)

I have asked over on the Genesis Slack Group to see if someone can give some insight, so I'm hoping someone will pop by shortly with an answer for you.

Hi,

you can try this:

function add_genesis_comments() {
	global $withcomments;
	if ( is_archive() || is_home() ) {
	$withcomments = 1;
	comments_template();
        }
}

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'add_genesis_comments' );

Adjust the conditional to your needs.

genesis_get_comments_template will only return the comment template on single posts or pages.
comments_template alone will also only work on single posts or pages. That´s why you need $withcomments.

Coincidentally the project I'm working on now has this requirement again, so big thanks, Christoph!
