Show comment count

A live count of comments is a strong engagement signal on listing pages. Vuukle exposes a one-line tag you can drop in anywhere.

Add the count to a listing

Place this <a> tag wherever you want the count to render — typically next to the article title or in the article meta row:

<a class="vuukle-comment-count" href="https://example.com/article-url/#vuukle-comments" data-id="UNIQUE_ARTICLE_ID"></a>

data-id must match the articleId you pass to VUUKLE_CONFIG on the article page itself.

On the article page

If you want the count to appear inline with the article body (e.g. “23 Comments” header), use this variant:

<a class="comment" href="#vuukle-comments" data-vuukle="UNIQUE_ARTICLE_ID">Comments</a>

WordPress

In the plugin settings, toggle Show comment count on listings under Settings → Vuukle. The plugin replaces the native WP comments_number() output automatically.

Blogger

See the Blogger install guide — it includes the template patch that replaces Blogger’s native count with Vuukle’s.
