WordPress Paged Comments Plugin
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.

- 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

Installation (for Wordpress 2.3+)
If you’re upgrading from a previous version, skip these installation steps and read the upgrade steps. Note: WordPress’ automatic upgrade feature will erase the plugin’s config file. If you’re going to use it, make sure you backup your paged-comments-config.php file first.
- Download and extract plugin files to a folder locally.
- Read through and edit paged-comments-config-sample.php to configure, then save the file as paged-comments-config.php.
- Upload the whole paged-comments directory to /wp-content/plugins/. The plugin files should now be in /wp-content/plugins/paged-comments/.
- Enable the plugin through the WordPress admin interface. That’s it!
Optional Steps
- WP 2.7 users: If use_wp_config is set to true (default), you can make changes to the plugin config using the WP admin interface. Go to Settings > Discussion and look under ‘Other comment settings’.
- 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:

[...] Eltelt 14 nap, megtörtént az upgrade a 2.0.5-ös (Ronan) WordPressre. Ha már nekiláttam egy nagyobb munkának, akkor egy teljes renoválás is megejtettem ezzel együtt. Így felkerültek új pluginek az oldalra. Most már lehet audio állományokat beilleszteni, hála az Audio playernek. Fel lehet iratkozni és emailben értesítést kapni a hozzászólásokról, ez a Subscribe To Comments pluginnek köszönhető. Végül pedig a reklámoknál lévő 178 hozzászólás lapokra bontását is megodottam a Paged Commentsel. Ezen kívül felkerült a legutolsó stabil 0.9.1-es K2 is, és 10 hónap után felraktam végre egy jó kis képet is a fejlécbe. [...]

New release is now available. I’ve removed an installation step as it should now be taken care of. If you have problems with this release, please let me know. View changes.
Gray Charles: There appears to be a problem with wp-plugins.org. I’ve just uploaded a new release which includes an updated template for the K2 theme.
Raj: Sorry, still no date. I know there is a lot of interest in the Ajax version, but I haven’t had enough time to work on it.

When is the ajax version releasing?
Any dates. i’d like to wait for the ajax version.
Thanks for any update.
The “trunk” link does not work
Will try and reply to some comments soon. I am working on the new version. You can download the latest version from the trunk. I’ve had a few people ask about K2 so I’ve included an updated template for the K2 theme. I’m running it on my WP2 testbed if anyone wants to see how it looks on K2. (I don’t use K2 myself and haven’t played around with it very much, so it might not look/work the way you want, but feel free to tweak the comments-paged.php template to get it to work how you’d like.)
The only update to the plugin itself so far is a function that runs when the template_redirect action is called. It reads in the appropriate template, looks for the comments_template() call, replaces it with paged_comments_template() before evaluating it. Essentially cutting out step 5. (I’m trying to make it easier to install, so any feedback would be great.)
Has anyone gotten this to work with the latest release of K2? I’ve been hacking around but with no luck. I would dearly love an update.
