WordPress Paged Comments Plugin

Chris Waigl says:

Great plugin, thanks a lot for your work!

Ampersand says:

I’m afraid I’m pretty computer-illiterate. I installed this plug-in, and it’s working great; except that where I used to have numbered comments, since I installed this plug-in there’s a bullet and then a number. Also, the bullet and number now appear above the comment, rather than to the side of the comment as on a normal html ordered list.

If you could suggest what I could do to use your plug-in, but also to get rid of the bullet and put the number back on the same level as the start of the comment, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

I inserted the code, but all I see is my comments being numbered above the comment. I’m not seeing the numbers at the bottom and so on. I have not modified the code of the template at all- fresh out of the box. And when I get the plugin working, how do I set a limit on how many comments I want on a page? Do I have to modify the wp-paged comments.php? I’m using the falling leaves template, and I replaced the comment_template() code in the index.php page and the single.php page.

Thanks for the help

Hi
Somethings really wierd here… or? i’m creating a static page with comments enabled but it doesnt show any commentfields or textboxes at all…? I have Random_Image as theme.

am i wrong? shouldnt i just write/create a page and allow comments?

Martin says:

You wrote:
“Some themes (for example, K2) include a page template and a “page with comments” template. This gives you the option of selecting the appropriate template within WordPress when creating a new page.”

In my template i dont have that option. I still havent figured this out. I can see my wp-paged-comments.php in the theme editor but when i create a new page i have only the link and archive page but in in the “Custom Fields” where i can “Add a new custom field to this post” there i can see the wp-page-template. but i cant do anything with it.

I have set the Comments per page to 5 and the Page range to 5 and i have 11 comments in my “guestbook”. but it doesnt show any comments per page. i thought it worked but it didnt.

I have copy over the “comments_template()” with ”
” and i did it on the the single.php.

thanks

Hi, Thank you very much for the great work.

One Question is left: at my site the counting is some kind of weird. For example when i have 11 commments on the post, there is only the 11th displayd. But it should show 10 on the “Page 2” and only 1 on page “1”.

Because now, the one who posts the 11th comment ist the one and ondly visible comment without clicking further.

Can i solve that somwhere in the config?
Regards Sandro

Hey,

I’m trying to use your plugin with Brian’s Threaded Comments. It seems that I will need to edit paged-comments.php. Can you tell me how I can do this? I have very little knowledge in these kind of things.

gio says:

Hi Keyvan, thanks for the great plugin. I’m using a WP theme known as Pool ( http://www.lamateporunyogur.net/pool ). I’ve installed and activated the latest version of your plugin. I’ve edited the necessary phps, replacing the call function just as in point 4 and 5 above. I’ve not edited the CSS. Please click here http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3892/poolpcproblems9mo.jpg to see what my problems are. I’ll sum up my problems in words as well:

1) the comment entry box is way off.
2) the posted comments have lost the original format of the Pool Theme. Original theme has alternating grey/darkgrey box.
3) The comment post number position: i wish to have it at the top right corner of the posted comment box.
4) i wish to retain the original theme elabarotion on some XHTML instructions below the comment entry box.

I’ve tested it on both Firefox 1.0.7 and IE 6.0, and both gave the same result.

Since i’ve not touch the theme’s CSS, i’ve cut and pasted the Comments components of the CSS for you to examine:

#commentlist {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#commentlist li {
    margin: 10px 0;
    padding: 5px 10px;
}	
#commentlist p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}			
#commentlist small {
    font-size: 11px;
}
.class_comment1 {
    background: #E9E9EA; 
    border: 1px solid #E0DEDE;
}
.class_comment2 {
    background: #F4F3F3;
    border: 1px solid #E0DEDE;
}
#comments, #postcomment {
    color: #0090DA;
    font-size: 14px !important;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 40px 0 10px 10px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}			
#commentform {
    background: #D3E4FF;
    border: 1px solid #D8D8D8;
    padding: 5px 20px;
}		
#commentform input,
#commentform textarea {
    background: #F9FBFF;
    border: 1px solid #B8D4FF;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 1px;
}		
#commentform input:focus, 
#commentform textarea:focus {
    background: #EEF5FF;
}
div.comment-number {
    float: right;
    color: #999;
    width: 40px;
    text-align: right;
}

If only you can download the Pool theme and try to edit it such that your plugin will work perfectly with it, that will be really great! If otherwise, i would still appreciate if you can edit the css as you see above, such that all my problems could be rectified… Thanks for your time and effort! I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers.

Sorry Keyvan, another problem. I’ve implemented the fancy url to “true”. But the new permalinks for the comments don;t work. I will get redirected to my home page, with a “Not Found, Error 404”. I have permalink on at my site, and it works perfectly. I’ve only had problems with your fancy url not working. I’ve added the 2 lines after “#end wordpress” in .htaccess. This is how my .htaccess looks like now:

Lonnie West says:

How do you get the comments to all be displayed automatically on this page instead of forcing the user to click the usual ‘comments link’ to see them?

I’ve been trying to find out how to do that on my site for days now with no luck…

Help?

Snoogly says:

Thanks! That works perfectly, and was VERY easy to do. Other suggestions I have seen were much more complicated.

I have another question: I don’t need visitors to enter their Website, but I would like them to enter their student ID number (this is a site for university students). Is it possible for users to enter their ID number into the Website field, and then make that field required?

Steve Weintraub says:

Thank you SO MUCH for this plugin! It worked perfectly, and was a breeze to modify to fit my template. You can see it in action here:
