Chris asked: “how to make my comments WordPress 2.7 compatible?”

Chris Berry, one of my readers, asked on the forum how he can make his comment section compatible with WordPress 2.7. If like him, you’d like to know how, just read on!

Here's a basic comments loop for WordPress 2.7. You just have to replace your current comment loop with that one to make it work with WordPress 2.7.

<?php
if (have_comments()) : ?>
<h4 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h4>
<ul class="commentlist">
	<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
</ul>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
	<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) :
		// If comments are open, but there are no comments.
	else : // comments are closed
	endif;
endif;
?>
