We have been using echo_crp to position Contextual Related Posts in the posts and pages by inserting the following code into the content-single.php and content-page.php files in the child theme:

/var/www/focusingonwildlife.com/news/wp-content/themes/sparkling-child/template-parts

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘echo_crp’ ) ) { echo_crp(); } ?><br />

However the WPDiscuz Comments are positioned below the Contextual Related Posts. i.e. the comments are at the very bottom of the post. This disconnect between the post and the comments is not ideal, and readers probably forget to post comments if they get side-tracked by the Related Posts.

So the question is how can we move WPDiscuz Comments above Contextual Related Posts?

@supertrooper,

You should change the location of the comments_template() function.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.

I am not a coding expert, so let me illustrate the files we currently have in the child theme:

1) single.php file has not been successfully modified with the crp script, and the complete address is as follows: /var/www/focusingonwildlife.com/news/wp-content/themes/sparkling-child/single.php

You can access and/or download this file on the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gsAP96XVSZHYCRqxWolIfB6PHf5QOv9A/view?usp=sharing

2) content-single.php file contains the echo_crp script and the complete address is as follows: /var/www/focusingonwildlife.com/news/wp-content/themes/sparkling-child/template-parts/content-single.php

You can access and/or download this file on the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q4DVk8cD6GavXqJSda-LDt1welM9OsY9/view?usp=sharing

Please advise in detail what I need to do to change the location of the comments_template() function.

@supertrooper,

Please follow the steps below:

1. Cut the following part from the single.php file:

<?php if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
				comments_template();
				endif;  ?>

2. Paste it in the content-single.php file before the line:

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘echo_crp’ ) ) { echo_crp(); } ?><br />

However be careful, after making the changes, please check and make sure there is no problem with other post types.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂

Your instructions were followed but without success (see attached screenshot).

Is there anything else we can try?

There is another file in the theme – comments.php – which You can access and/or download on the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-DGrbvoiPJld8a9Y5nEzz5PSnrtENaH5/view

Could changes to this file enable us to position CRP below WPDiscuz Comments?

@supertrooper,

I've corrected my previous post (the red marked parts were added in the code).

<?php if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
				comments_template();
				endif;  ?>

You should paste the code above in the content-single.php file before the line:

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘echo_crp’ ) ) { echo_crp(); } ?><br />
