Duplicate posts

You can use a static class property to store a rolling list of posts that are used in previous queries.

Update post date on every new comment?

From what i understand, you want to change the post’s modification time whenever a comment is left on your post. For this, you need to hook into the wp_insert_comment hook and update the post’s date manually: add_action(‘wp_insert_comment’,’update_post_time’,99,2); function update_post_time($comment_id, $comment_object) { // Get the post’s ID $post_id = $comment_object->comment_post_ID; // Double check for post’s ID, … Read more

Automatically added brs and paragraphs?

You can postpone the wp_autop filter. WordPress has this filter enabled by default. And it is processing before the shortcode output. remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ ); add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ , 12); Add this to your functions.php and check if the problem persist! See a similar problem here: stray <p> elements
