Display the number of comments on each wordpress post

How we can display the number of comments for each posts? While some themes do it by default, most of them don’t display it at all.

To solve this problem, simply open your index.php file and paste the following code within the loop:

<?php comments_number('No comments yet','1 comment','% comments')?>

Even better, following code have a link to jump directly to the comments:


<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#comments"><?php comments_number('No comments yet','1 comment','% comments')?></a>
