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

Installation (for Wordpress 2.3+)

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

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

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:

White Town guestbook
Thank You Stephen Colbert (over 60,000 comments!)
Playstation
eBay
Mashable
TorrentFreak

A new release will be coming soon. I’ve just had a fix submitted for those of you experiencing the eval error. Edit paged-comments.php and replace the last few lines of instructions with these:


if (strpos($file_contents, 'paged_comments_template()') === false) {
  set_include_path(TEMPLATEPATH);
  $file_contents = str_replace('comments_template()', 'paged_comments_template()', $file_contents);
  $file_contents = str_replace(''.trim($file_contents));
  restore_include_path();
  exit;
}

Thanks to Alexey G for the fix.

Hey I noticed your paged comments links are nice and clean. They appear as “comment-page-#” but mine appear as the id page number links. What change do i need to make to fix this?

i never got this to work properly, maybe because of my poor php skills. anyways.

is there any way an install/uninstall of this plugin could disable comments on pages completely? i deactivated and rid of everything to re-install and now pages can’t be commented at all …
