I was curious about any existing plugins and searched the plugin directory. There exists an old Sticky Comments plugin, I’m not related to it. It seems to use a sticky meta key. It uses a LEFT JOIN query but creates it’s own version of the whole comments_template() core function, to override the current query. One … Read more
You should try to replace <?php comment_reply_link(); ?> with: <?php comment_reply_link( $args ); ?> and to make sure the $args[‘depth’] is not zero or greater or equal than the $args[‘max depth’]. There will be no output if that’s not the case. If that doesn’t work, you could try to add the comment ID or the … Read more
Short answer: It doesn’t, but you can get around this: add_filter(‘comment_form_field_comment’, ‘my_comment_form_field_comment’); function my_comment_form_field_comment($default){ return false; } add_action(‘pre_comment_on_post’, ‘my_pre_comment_on_post’); function my_pre_comment_on_post($post_id){ $some_random_value = rand(0, 384534); $_POST[‘comment’] = “Default comment. Some random value to avoid duplicate comment warning: {$some_random_value}”; } If you want this only for certain pages, then you should create a custom page template, … Read more
Ok, I did some research based on בניית אתרים‘s solution here, as I’m interested in this too. First you need to get a list of blog IDs, and get_blog_list() is deprecated because it seems to be a “suicidal database query” 🙂 Anyway looks like there will be a alternative in WP 3.2 called wp_get_sites(). So … Read more
Ensure that you have Threaded Comments enabled: go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion and enable the option to thread comments Ensure that your Theme enqueues the comment-reply script. Look for the following, usually in header.php, functions.php, etc.: <?php wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); ?> Note: this call is usually wrapped in a conditional, such as: <?php … Read more
I have written a solution for that some time ago: <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /** * Plugin Name: T5 Comment author URI to blog author page * Description: Changes the comment author URI to the blog’s author archive * Version: 2012.07.18 * Author: Fuxia Scholz * Author URI: https://fuxia.me * License: MIT * … Read more
your problem is using author_email, you need user_id: i just use similar script. <?php $args = array( ‘user_id’ => get_the_author_meta(‘ID’), ‘number’ => 10, // how many comments to retrieve ‘status’ => ‘approve’ ); $comments = get_comments( $args ); if ( $comments ) { $output.= “<ul>\n”; foreach ( $comments as $c ) { $output.= ‘<li>’; $output.= … Read more
To show the content on individual edit pages you need to add custom meta boxes to the comment edit page. You’ll use the key comment for the $page argument of add_meta_box. <?php add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes_comment’, ‘pmg_comment_tut_add_meta_box’ ); function pmg_comment_tut_add_meta_box() { add_meta_box( ‘pmg-comment-title’, __( ‘Comment Title’ ), ‘pmg_comment_tut_meta_box_cb’, ‘comment’, ‘normal’, ‘high’ ); } function pmg_comment_tut_meta_box_cb( $comment ) … Read more
There is much easier way to close standard WordPress comments. Just add add_filter( ‘comments_open’, ‘__return_false’ ); to your functions.php file and comments will be closed.
You shouldn’t copy that file, precisely because it is too bulky. About half of it is implementation of submission form, which was entirely replaced with comment_form() function around that time. So the answer why was it deprecated is roughly: Newer code is more compact Markup belongs in theme For better and more relevant comments.php example … Read more
