Delete them all. I don’t think a few comments are worth so much of your time. To clean up the entire table, open a SQL console (the plugin Adminer has an UI for that) and type: TRUNCATE table wp_comments You might have to change the name if you are using an other prefix than wp_. … Read more
You could build an action for delete_comment, where you loop through the childcomments and delete them. I use two different functions here, one that trashes the childcomments (hooked into trash_comment), and one that deletes them directly. Please make sure which funtion you use, or if you want to use both. The safe version would be … Read more
You can use the get_comment_author_link hook, which is part of the get_comment_author_link() template tag, like your question already suggests. Then you only have to get the according user_id, which can be done via the $comment global, and construct the link you want accordingly. Exemplary usage like shown below: add_filter( ‘get_comment_author_link’, ‘wpse144835_custom_comment_author_link’ ); function wpse144835_custom_comment_author_link( $link … Read more
I don’t know if there is a hook for the comment widget but you can call a widget in your template with a conditional to check if there are comments. You can probably also do this via functions.php. Something like: $num_comments = get_comments_number(); if ( $num_comments > 0 ) { the_widget( ‘WP_Widget_Recent_Comments’ ); } else … Read more

This is the code the author, Evan Solomon, uses in this plugin, I used it on a site a while back just copy it in your themes functions file or even better, download his plugin 🙂 class ES_oEmbed_Comments { function __construct() { add_action( ‘init’, array( $this, ‘init’ … Read more
If you want to add some custom HTML between the </h3> and the <form> tags, you can try the following: /** * Add custom HTML between the `</h3>` and the `<form>` tags in the comment_form() output. */ add_action( ‘comment_form_before’, function(){ add_filter( ‘pre_option_comment_registration’, ‘wpse_156112’ ); }); function wpse_156112( $comment_registration ) { // Adjust this to your … Read more
After reading a bit on regex and preg, starting from a previous example of a similar problem and testing it I was able to answer my own question. I added this function to functions.php: <?php /** Plugin Name: WPSE (#167237) Redirect after comment */ add_filter(‘comment_post_redirect’, ‘redirect_after_comment’); function redirect_after_comment($location) { return preg_replace(“/comment-page-([\d]+)\/#comment-([\d]+)/”, “2”, $location); } It’s … Read more
get_comments do not get a post ID as parameter but rather an array in which you can set all kinds of query criteira including post ID. See the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_comments. You can even use the author_email parameter to make get_comments do most of the work for you.
It is because you need to enqueue comment-reply.js which is required for the jQuery effect. Place the following in your header.php file within your head tag: if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

You should check out comments_popup_link() and comments_popup_script(). In general, you can … Read more
