This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I would like to change the position of where the comments are displayed,
and display them somewhere inside a content template.
I thought about one type of solution, I added a shortcode in functions.php:
add_shortcode( 'display_comments', 'display_comments_shortcode' );
function display_comments_shortcode() {
comments_template();
}
then I added the shortcode somewhere inside the content template, but the comments where displayed at the top of the page, above everything in the page, and not where I located the shortcode.
Solution:
The WordPress function comments_template() will output the HTML codes directly, in the shortcode PHP function, you will need to setup it as return, so you can modify your codes as below:
add_shortcode( 'display_comments', 'display_comments_shortcode' );
function display_comments_shortcode() {
ob_start();
comments_template();
$res = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $res;
