thanks for sharing. is there a way that i could enable a plugin in custom post types? i wanted to use podpress but its settings are not available.

thanks!

Thanks for your comments.

Perfect – I had completely missed adding the comments into the string and wondered why they were showing up as closed. These new Post Types are brilliant but not a lot of info around on how to maximise them!

Just normal comments work, popup comments doesn’t work, it shows a same post page on popup window. You know why?
Thanks
