How to add total comments count of a particular post to home page?

Hi Akshay

This is something you can done using WordPress API. wpDiscuz doesn't have direct relation to functions and ways of showing comment counts per post. You can use WordPress template tag:

<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>

More info in WordPress support forums:

Also, can you make a widget which can add rating system with custom criteria to the wpDiscuz comment system. It would be a great plugin.

We need some of those to work around that. Currently we have wpDiscuz Widgets pro addon, it has four widgets. More info:

• Most Voted/Liked Comments Widget
• Most Active Comment Threads Widget
• Most Commented Posts Widget
• Most Active Comment Authors Widget

Thanks Tom. I have never tried the template tag but looking at the same, I think it will only work on post page. I need to show the particular post total comment on my home page.

I am already planning to go for wpDiscuz Widgets pro addon at later stage. Will eagerly wait for the custom rating system too. 🙂

I think you should have some sidebar on home page. If so you can use Ultimate Posts Widget plugin, it allows to add a widget with posts and number of comments: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/
