Hey Everyone. Here’s my issue. I recently did some rebranding and changed the structure of my site slightly. I went from displaying multiple excerpts to single entry posts. So I had a template called “blog” which contained the excepts and was my index and another called, “post” which managed the single entries. When I made the change, all I did was copied the “post” template and pasted it into my index template. Everything is working fine, except I can’t see my comments or facebook likes and such. With the fb likes, i understand it’s url based and the likes are being pinned to: http://site/post/post-title.html. And now the url has shifted to http://site/p1. I have no idea why i lost my comments though. They do reappear if I hardcode the url. Any help with this would be amazing!!

Hi, Tyler.

One thing you may not realize about comments, is that they require a url_title in segment_3 in order to work. You’ll need to have some sort of way of identifying that particular url_title.

Normally you have comments show like this:

http://example.com/index.php/site/comments/bill-sarah-wedding where bill-sarah-wedding is the url title you want comments to show with. I understand that you are doing something different on your home page.
