I just upgraded to the new version of Newspaper that features the Say What template. Say What is nearly perfect for my purposes and I’ve found tweaking most things to my needs very easy.
However, I’m running into a BIG problem. On my existing sites I need the comment count box to display because it generates a lot of traffic. Readers what to see what other people are saying.
Previous Newspaper: I had it configured with Module 11 to display content on the main, category and tag pages. Under Block Settings I have Show Comment Count, Show Date and Author all enabled. This resulted in comment count displaying on post lists and in widget sidebars.
Say What Newspaper: Under Block Settings I have the same areas enabled, but comments do not appear in either post lists or sidebars when configured in the Say What VC template.
I am also running into a problem with [tagDiv] blocks showing the comment count icon as before when added to a widget sidebar in VC. I have [tagdiv] Block 21 activated in both the old version and Say What. Say What doesn’t show comment. regular widget blocks do.
I need a solution that displays comment counts when they are enabled. Is there a specific config that needs to be activated for comment counts to appear? If not is there a code hook that can activate it in custom code?
Below are examples of before and after (Say What) sidebar blocks.

Is there an email I can provide the link to without putting it on the forum? I would be more than happy to email it to you.
