Featured Posts Widget: Edit Comment Count

[nici-]

Hi dear Genesis-Wizards!

I want to show the comments-count in the featured image. I do so in blog page and single post here: https://www.shopanbieter.de/relaunch/news
using the genesis_before_entry hook. SO no problem here.

Other with the start page (News Pro child theme):
https://www.shopanbieter.de/relaunch/

I don't have any idea how to change the output here resp. add the comment_count (overlayed) to the featured image?

If not, I might live with it as it is and might try to help myself with styling it somehow via CSS. But: Is there a way to change the output in order to just have the number without the word "comments". Can I do so in genesis/lib/widgets/featured-post-widget.php - if so, how?

Best regards

Sorry, I forgot the code.

I modified the featured image in blog page and single post this way:

// Display featured image on top of single post and add comment count

add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', 'featured_post_image', 8 );
function featured_post_image() {
// if ( !is_singular( 'post' ) ) return;
print "<div class=\"featured-image\">";
the_post_thumbnail('post-image');
print "<div class=\"comment-icon\"><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-format-chat\"></span> ";
print comments_number( '0', '1', '%');
print "</div></div>";
}

[yes I might clean this up a bit, I am it's still testing around]

And now I'd like to have the [blog_info] output in featured post widget on the start page similar with only the comment numbers as above (and icon, but I can add this via CSS so nevermind).

I resolved it by editing the [post_comment] output format directly in the widget options to [post_comments zero="0" one="1" more="%"] and styling everything via css.
