WordPress Else statement not working in $comments loop

1 Views

For my WP-theme I am displaying comments for each blog-post. Everything works except my else statement, I figured this is because every $post counts ALL $comments on the page, instead of just its own.

So this is my php:

<?php 
    $args = array(
        'post_id' => $post->ID,
        'status' => 'approve'
    );
    $comments = get_comments($args); ?>

        if (get_comments_number($comments)==0) {
            wp_list_comments(array('per_page' => 10, // Allow comment pagination
            'reverse_top_level' => false //Show the latest comments at the top of the list ), $comments); 
            } else {
                echo "<i>No Comments</i>";
     } ?>

I tried with two different foreach statements, first with $comments: 

<?php 
    foreach($comments as $comment) :
        if (get_comments_number($comments)==0) {
            wp_list_comments(array('per_page' => 10, // Allow comment pagination
            'reverse_top_level' => false //Show the latest comments at the top of the list ), $comments); 
            } else {
                echo "<i>Inga kommentarer än</i>";
     } ?>
  } endforeach; ?>

Using $posts: 

<?php 
        foreach($posts as $post) :
            if (get_comments_number($comments)==0) {
                wp_list_comments(array('per_page' => 10, // Allow comment pagination
                'reverse_top_level' => false //Show the latest comments at the top of the list ), $comments); 
                } else {
                    echo "<i>Inga kommentarer än</i>";
         } ?>
      } endforeach; ?>

The second just rendered “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.” instead of include('intranet-comments.php'); (which is called after the comments).

  1. You should pass postID as argument to get_comments_number instead of array of comments. Check wp codex.
    And why are you trying to display comments when number of comments is 0 ?

    Should look something like this: NOT TESTED. Answered via Smartphone

    <?php 
$args = array(
    'post_id' => $post->ID,
    'status' => 'approve'
);
    if (get_comments_number($post->ID)!=0) {
          $comments = get_comments($args);
          // and do something with commenzs
        } else {
            echo "<i>No Comments</i>";
 } ?>
