    It might sound a bit strange but I´d like to show only one single post including the comment section (form and list) on the homepage (I´m using the Parallax Pro childtheme).

    When I use the Genesis featured posts widget it shows the full article butwithout the comment section. So I need basically excatly what the featured posts widget does plus the comment section.

    Any idea how to achieve that. I assume this must be quite simple.

    What I´ve done so far is this:

    I added this to the child themes functions file:

     /** Code for custom loop */
    function alfons_custom_loop() { ?>
    
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    
    	<header class="entry-header">
    		<?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>
    	</header><!-- .entry-header -->
    
    	<div class="entry-content">
    		<?php the_content("Continue reading " . get_the_title()); ?>
    	</div><!-- .entry-content -->
    
    	<footer class="entry-footer">
    	</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
    
    </article><!-- #post-## -->
    
    <p>TEST</p>
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    
    <?php  }

    removed the default loop

    remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

    and call the custom loop function in a php enabled widget. It works except the comments. It shows the title and the content but no comment form and no comments.

    Any ideas?
