You're too right - never harm in trying.
I changed it to this:
<span class="block-meta"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>, <?php spCommentsNumber("0 Comments", "1 Comment", "% Comments", true); ?></span>But what it seems to have done is update ALL my posts as having 11 comments on them - even those that have no comments, 1 comment or whatever number.
Here's a picture to explain what happened:
How can I make that comment number specific to that particular post?

Could you try making one small change to where you call the SP function? See if it helps.
This just adds one extra parameter at the end of the call...
spCommentsNumber("0 Comments", "1 Comment", "% Comments", true, the_ID());I am hoping that might fix the issue.

Hey mate,
Thanks for your reply.
I have made the change, and the effect it has had is that it now displays an absurd number. e.g. 53912 comments, 14812 comments etc
What I have noticed is that they all end in '12' (which was the number of comments on the one article I have blog linked thus far).
Perhaps the first 3 digits are the ID number of the post?

Oh stupid, stupid me!
That parameter should be:
get_the_ID()
NOT
the_ID()
Sorry - try that instead.

Don't be so hard on yourself!
Your new solution has worked.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!
Brilliant!

That's great news.
Remember that change so that if the theme gets updated you can make it again.
It's good to know it works!

Yes thank you I will save that.
I have been using your extra bit of code for the other recent comments widgets and it is working.
There is one widget which, when I opened the code, it was all a bit alien (it has a lot of $ signs, I'm sure it means more to you than it does to me).
Any chance you would be able to identify where I need to insert your code (if that) for it to bring up the right comments? It is a widget that brings up comments made on the posts - but it doesn't pull in comments that arose from the forum.
I understand this might be a bit trickier and if it's not possible then that's okay - you've been a great help. I just thought it might be worth a punt - I'm no good at code but it may just be something easy for the trained eye.
This is the code:
add_action('widgets_init', 'pyre_tabs_load_widgets');
function pyre_tabs_load_widgets()
{
register_widget('Pyre_Tabs_Widget');
}
class Pyre_Tabs_Widget extends WP_Widget {
function Pyre_Tabs_Widget()
{
$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'pyre_tabs', 'description' => 'Popular posts, comments and tags tabbed widget.');
$control_ops = array('id_base' => 'pyre_tabs-widget');
$this->WP_Widget('pyre_tabs-widget', 'Avenue Theme: Tabs', $widget_ops, $control_ops);
}
function widget($args, $instance)
{
extract($args);
$posts = $instance['posts'];
$comments = $instance['comments'];
$tags_count = $instance['tags'];

$show_comments = isset($instance['show_comments']) ? 'true' : 'false';

I know I can use your code where it says the comments_popup_link() to display the correct number of comments, but what can I change for it to actually display ALL comments, including spComments?
Thank you
