Remove comments_template() function from single.php template. By the way quick scan with Theme-Check shows that theme contains hardcoded links and runs obfuscated code, not even mentioning massive amount of missing or poorly coded features. I’d not use it without major scrub of internals.
From the looks of Matt’s page he’s running a filter on either the img or gallery shortcode and replacing the caption with the comment count. I’ve answered two related questions on how to modify the img and gallery shortcode functions, see. How to customize the default HTML for WordPress Attachments How to customise the output … Read more
Hi @Ayaz Malik: You need to use the function get_comment_link(). I’ve rewritten your code using some improved techniques and included the function call in place of what you had: global $wpdb; $sql =<<<SQL SELECT {$wpdb->comments}.comment_ID, {$wpdb->comments}.comment_post_ID, {$wpdb->comments}.comment_content, {$wpdb->posts}.post_title FROM {$wpdb->comments} INNER JOIN {$wpdb->posts} ON {$wpdb->comments}.comment_post_id={$wpdb->posts}.ID WHERE 1=1 AND {$wpdb->comments}.user_id = %d AND {$wpdb->comments}.comment_approved = 1 … Read more
By using a function to perform that: recent_comment_text_more($comment_content) that function would look like (in case you’re using PHP, part of your code looks from another language): function recent_comment_text_more($comment_content, $more_href) { if (strlen($comment_content) > 180) { $comment_content = substr($comment_content, 0, 177) . sprintf(‘<a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/8656/%s”>… (more)</a>’, $more_href); } return $comment_content; } Good luck!

I tried removing all the javascript of the theme, updating the comments related files in the server (the same error happens locally) The problem is a result of this file(you obviously didn’t disable that one in testing). http://www.faf.fi/wp-content/themes/faf/scripts/js/functions.js Blocking that script in my browser resolves the issue, but i think it’s this area of the … Read more
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/ This plugin is great for fine tuned control of content. I have not, however, tried what you are requesting. So I can only suggest it as something to look into…. I’m not sure if it gives such fine tuned control over comments….
There’s the count_user_posts function which will give you a count of posts for a given user id. From a quick look through the Codex, I don’t see a similar function to return a comment count. But after looking at the source for count_user_posts, I think it would be easy to adapt the code to count … Read more
WordPress rewrite rules by default are no longer stored in the Apache configuration, but are handled by WordPress itself. This was probably not the case when that forum topic was written (5 years ago), but currently only “external” rules end up in the Apache configuration, all others are stored in the database and handled by … Read more
These files are not loaded directly, but similar to regular template files, only after the WP class is initialized. This class does the main query, which already can include the comments if the correct query variables are set. The execution flow is a follows, starting in the main index.php: require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-load.php’ ); … Read more
By default WordPress does not display an avatar for a pingback or a trackback – do they even contain an e-mail address? You can add these to the get_avatar_comment_types filter if you want to change this.
