In your comments loop, skip the children: if( !empty( $comment->comment_parent ) ) { //if the comment has a parent, skip it as it’s not level 1 continue; } Edit: Above example would only help in the reading loop, below example should help in admin area: add_filter(‘the_comments’, ‘top_level_comments_filter’); function top_level_comments_filter($comments){ global $pagenow; if($pagenow == ‘edit-comments.php’){ foreach($comments … Read more
I think that hook pre_comment_approved should be perfect in this case. Something like this should do the job: function my_pre_comment_approved($approved, $commentdata) { // you can return 0, 1 or ‘spam’ if ( $commentdata[‘user_ID’] ) { $args = array( ‘user_id’ => $commentdata[‘user_ID’], ‘post_id’ => $commentdata[‘comment_post_ID’] ); $usercomment = get_comments( $args ); if ( 1 <= count( … Read more
The comment_karma field in the wp_comments table is something that has been in present in WordPress for a long time, but never utilized by the WordPress core itself. You can update it the same way any other comment field is updated, using update_comment(): $comment_data = array(); $comment_data[‘comment_ID’] = 1; $comment_data[‘comment_karma’] = 123; wp_update_comment( $comment_data );
It is hard to say what you need to hook into without knowing all the details but I think you may be able to use comment_text— more or less the the_content of comments. add_filter( ‘comment_text’, function ($comment) { return $comment.'<div>This is your special division</div>’; } ); If that isn’t quite right, take a look at … Read more
I got around this by handling it all in JS / Jquery. On a jQuery document ready clause I look for a specific type of anchor on page load and if that is present I assume that a message has just been posted. I then using jQuery display a nice little alert message up top … Read more

Higher-level API functions like this in WP typically do the $wpdb->prepare() call to protect against MySQL injections. As for content by default comments do allow HTML, however it isn’t just anything. If you examine default-filters.php there are quite a few sanitizing functions hooked to processing comment data, including wp_kses_post() which limits HTML to white listed … Read more
Your page seems to be currently using gravatars for comments, which is typical WP mechanics. Users with gravatar accounts will have their gravatars show up. WordPress doesn’t natively provide “local” (specific to the site) avatars. You will need to use a third party plugin/solution if you want that.
You can try the edit_comment hook that’s fired within the wp_update_comment() function, called by the edit_comment() function when you edit a comment in the backend. This hook is fired after the comment is updated in the database. Example: add_action( ‘edit_comment’, function( $comment_ID ) { // … your code here … } ); Notice the following … Read more
