Use get_comments_number() to get … well … the number of comments. In your theme’s comments.php you can use its return value to do something: $num = (int) get_comments_number(); if ( 0 === $num ) echo ‘Be the first!

Can’t post comment to blog in wp-multisite

There’s a filter for that: get_comments_link. Refer to source: return apply_filters( ‘get_comments_link’, $comments_link, $post_id ); In an appropriate place (such as a site functionality Plugin), just add a filter via callback: function wpse123906_filter_comments_link( $comments_link, $post_id ) { // Return your custom link return get_permalink( $post_id ) . ‘#disqus_thread’; } add_filter( ‘get_comments_link’, ‘wpse123906_filter_comments_link’, 10, 2 );

I do not see the $comment_ID variable having any value in your code. So try by changing the following code wp_notify_postauthor($comment_ID, $comment->comment_type); to wp_notify_postauthor($comment->comment_ID, $comment->comment_type); You can also remove $comment->comment_type as per codex
