Examples

Text Response for Number of Comments

Displays the comments popup link, using "No comments yet" for no comments, "1 comment" for one, "% comments" for more than one (% replaced by # of comments), and "Comments are off for this post" if commenting is disabled. Additionally, 'comments-link' is a custom CSS class for the link.

<p>
<?php
  comments_popup_link( 'No comments yet', '1 comment', '% comments', 'comments-link', 'Comments are off for this post');
?>
</p>

Hide Comment Link When Comments Are Deactivated

Hides the paragraph element <p></p> that contains the comments_popup_link when comments are deactivated in the Write>Post screen. Good for those who want enable/disable comments post by post. Must be used in the loop.

<?php
if ( comments_open() ) :
  echo '<p>';
  comments_popup_link( 'No comments yet', '1 comment', '% comments', 'comments-link', 'Comments are off for this post');
  echo '</p>';
endif;
?>

Load Different CSS classes according to Comment-condition

If you want to load different classes into comments_popup_link(), use the following:

$css_class = 'zero-comments';
$number    = (int) get_comments_number( get_the_ID() );

if ( 1 === $number )
    $css_class = 'one-comment';
elseif ( 1 < $number )
    $css_class = 'multiple-comments';

comments_popup_link( 
    __( 'Post a Comment', 'your-theme' ), 
    __( '1 Comment', 'your-theme' ), 
    __( '% Comments', 'your-theme' ),
    $css_class,
    __( 'Comments are Closed', 'your-theme' )
);
