Exclude the word comment from being referenced
I found a solution to add rel=”nofollow” to comments. My theme maker gave me this hack that you can add in functions.php (no guarantee it will work for everyone, might depend on your theme): function add_nofollow_to_comments_popup_link() { return ‘ rel=”nofollow” ‘; } add_filter( ‘comments_popup_link_attributes’, ‘add_nofollow_to_comments_popup_link’ );
Comments on future posts
You can not enable comments in future posts. Those posts are not public and are not private, so they verify the conditional in line 61 of wp-comments-post.php file; that conditional is (WP 4.1.1): } elseif ( ! $status_obj->public && ! $status_obj->private ) { /** * Fires when a comment is attempted on a post in … Read more

Comments and post dates not showing up correctly on “posts page”
Try editing category.php – or category-news.php if you have it – your CSS seems to indicate you’ve created a “news” category, but you’ll hopefully know which files you’ve edited – and adding: $withcomments = 1; // If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template. if ( comments_open() … Read more
Are there some caveats for using guids for FB comments

get_comment_link without pagination base in the returned URL?
It’s strange that you want to use comments pagination where the comment links are without the comments pagination base. But you can try this (untested): /** * Remove the comments pagination base from comments links */ ! is_admin() && add_filter( ‘get_comment_link’, function( $link, $comment, $args ) { if( $args[‘per_page’] ) $link = sprintf( “%s#comment-%d”, get_permalink( … Read more
get_comments_number() vs. get_post_field( ‘comment_count’, ID )
They are pretty much the same. You really can’t say one is better. One has a specific and the other one a more general purpose – that is it. Personally I tend to go with the specific ones, but that is only a personal preference. In summary, just chose which one you want to use. … Read more
‘comment_post’ hook doesn’t seem to work? [closed]
Does anyone know why this ‘comment_post’ hook doesn’t seem to work!? … When a comment is posted, the function is not triggered… at all? The hook works.
