WordPress Paged Comments Plugin

Filed under: General — Keyvan @ 12:24 am

Paged Comments is a plugin for WordPress to allow comment paging. Useful for those popular blog entries receiving many comments, or a simple guestbook page within WordPress.

Features

  • Comment ordering: show latest comments first, or last
  • Specify number of comments to display per page
  • Enable paging for all posts and pages, or on a per-post basis
  • Give users the choice to view all comments on one page with a ’show all’ link
  • Specify the first or last page of comments to load by default
  • See paged-comments-config-sample.php for more

Download — Latest Version

Installation (for Wordpress 2.3+)

If you’re upgrading from a previous version, skip these installation steps and read the upgrade steps.

  1. Download and extract plugin files to a folder locally.
  2. Read through and edit paged-comments-config-sample.php to configure, then save the file as paged-comments-config.php.
  3. Upload the whole paged-comments directory to /wp-content/plugins/. The plugin files should now be in /wp-content/plugins/paged-comments/.
  4. Enable the plugin through the WordPress admin interface. That’s it!

Optional Steps

  • To customise the template to work better with your theme: Open the plugin’s themes folder and find the subfolder corresponding to the WordPress theme you’d like paged comments enabled on (or if your theme isn’t listed, choose the ‘default’ folder). Upload comments-paged.php to the appropriate WordPress theme folder (found in [wordpress]/wp-content/themes/).

    For example, if you’re using the default WordPress theme, copy [paged-comments-plugin]/themes/default/comments-paged.php to [wordpress]/wp-content/themes/default/. (The plugin always tries to load comments-paged.php from your active theme folder first.)

    Make any modifications to comments-paged.php. The file is based on the comments.php file, so if your theme is very different it might be easier to copy in the necessary elements from paged-comments.php. View the diff report to see what you need to change.

Examples of Use

The comments on this page are handled by the plugin, but it’s also used by the following sites:

    Hey Dayna, not sure what problems you’re having with the fancy URL option - the new options shouldn’t affect the URL structure. Have I broken something?

    Thanks also for the suggestion. I’d like to do an options page accessible through the WP admin interface. It’d probably make updates easier as well. I’ll consider it for the next release.

    Edit: Sorry, I didn’t realise there’s a new config for fancy URL. Could I suggest a admin options page? The current config seems a bit messy and confusing. Just a suggestion :) Thank you for the update

    Hi, I have got the new version but there is a problem with the fancy URL again, the link to other comments pages are the default permalink and not the custom permalink of the page. Can you fix that please? Thank you :)

    Pavel: The new version is available now and it includes a new option (default_page) which does what you want. Sorry it took so long. You can see it in action (I’ve set ordering to ‘ASC’ and default_page to ‘last’).

    Read about the other changes.

    Let me know if you come across any problems.

    [...] Da meine Kommentar Liste im Gästebuch langsam länger wird, habe ich nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht dies auf mehrere Seiten zu verteilen. Durch Wordpress.de bin ich auf das Paged Comments Plugin gestoßen. Ich habs gleich runtergeladen, die paged-comments.php angepasst und das Plugin installiert. Ich muss mal noch kucken wie ich die “Kommentarnummer” im Kommentar selbst angezeigt bekomme. [...]

    Pavel, you haven’t been forgotten. I’ve just been too busy to work on the plugin. I will show you how to do it when I get a little more time.
