Count the number of comments on an entry?

Question

Is it possible to count the number of comments on an entry? I have a channel with entries, and have comments enabled for each entry. I am just trying to get a number for the total comments on a single entry. Nested replies are disabled, so it is only 1 level of comments. Thanks!

This one should help:

 {% set params = {
    ownerId: entry.id
} %}
{{ craft.comments.fetch(params) | length }}

That did the trick, thank you!

Word of warning that you should use {{ craft.comments.fetch(params).all() | length }} or {{ craft.comments.fetch(params).count() }} as without these functions, you're getting the length of the CommentQuery, which will give you unexpected results.
