Troubleshooting↑ Table of Contents ↑

We expect a div with the id “posts” as part of the default install, so if you have trouble with comment links, please add the following to your template wherever the comments should be. That should take care of it.

<div id=”posts”></div>

You’ll also need to put in a div with the class “post” in each tumblr post.

Like the following:

<div class=”post”></div>

That is how we determine how many posts are on the page (>1 we show links, <=1 we show the comment section). Please let me know how it goes.
