I would rarely use ‘echo’ in WordPress template themes because it can cause output to appear before the loops are even executed (aka, at the top of the page). In this instance, I used the get_comments function within a function that hooked onto the content output: add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘includePosts’, 1); Within the function includePosts, I have … Read more
I’ve figured out the solution to my problems. Here’s what I did… Note: This is considering the posts, thus comments, are under the ‘Article‘ post-type, which thus create the permalink such as this: site.com/article/post-name/#comments. Adjustments should be made for other uses. To fix problem #1 & #3: if ( !is_admin() ) add_filter(‘get_comment_link’, ‘my_comment_post_redirect’); function my_comment_post_redirect($location){ … Read more

There doesn’t seem to be a hook/filter available to control comments displayed in the widget. You might have to create new dashboard widget for this as new plugin or as part of themes function.php
If you want to remove it, then find the part of your template file (probably index.php or loop.php) which refers to a comment-template and remove it, and also disable commenting in WordPress-settings (to disable use of comments.php from other pages). If you want to style it, look for comment_form() or a similar function in functions.php … Read more
The way you’re doing this, you’re going to get the raw SQL date that’s stored in the wp_comments table. You can still use the convenience functions like comment_date with get_comments. In this case, we’ll use get_comment_date. The first argument is the date format — if you leave it blank, WP will use whatever date format … Read more
the comments_popup_link() function will only work when used within the_loop; a ‘foreach’ loop using post Ids is not the same. you could try to build your own link, based on this function: get_comments_number( $id ).
Try to use the wp_list_comments function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments It allows you to control the aspect of every comment, also the replies. Then, you define a callback function, which will be called when WordPress creates each comment. Your callback needs to start like this: function commnents_callback($comment, $args, $depth) { $GLOBALS[‘comment’] = $comment; global $post; // your HTML … Read more
This a php syntax error, try: foreach($last_updated_comment as $key => $last_comment_date){ print_r( $last_comment_date ); echo “<br /><br />”; }
You can control whether comments appear by filtering the comments_open() function. Here is an example from the WordPress codex: add_filter( ‘comments_open’, ‘my_comments_open’, 10, 2 ); function my_comments_open( $open, $post_id ) { $post = get_post( $post_id ); if ( ‘page’ == $post->post_type ) $open = false; return $open; }
