  1. POputting php function in template works but putting concatenated function in functions.php doesn't?
    text
    copied!<p>Here are two functions I'm working with (line 1 and line 33): <a href="http://pastebin.com/GWCJGS1i" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/GWCJGS1i</a></p> <p>If you notice around line 123, I have included the concatenated function <code>. fb_comment_count() .</code>. For some reason, this produces an incorrect comment count. It just shows zero no matter how many comments there are.</p> <p>However, if I insert <code>&lt;?php echo fb_comment_count(); ?&gt;</code> into a page template, it works fine. Why does this happen? How can I get the correct comment count to show up with the concatenated function?</p> <p>Here is the page template:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php get_header();?&gt; &lt;section id="content"&gt; &lt;?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?&gt; &lt;article class="post" id="post-&lt;?php the_ID(); ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;section class="entry"&gt; &lt;?php echo fb_comment_count(); ?&gt; &lt;p class="attachment"&gt;&lt;?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $post-&gt;ID, 'medium' ); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="caption"&gt; &lt;?php if ( !empty($post-&gt;post_excerpt) ) the_excerpt(); // this is the "caption" ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/section&gt; &lt;/article&gt; &lt;?php comments_template(); ?&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; else: ?&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sorry, no attachments matched your criteria.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;?php endif; ?&gt; &lt;/section&gt; &lt;?php get_sidebar(); ?&gt; &lt;?php get_footer(); ?&gt; </code></pre>
