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:

    Sorry, the previous comment broke off:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /pathto/comments-paged.php on line 26

    even though I have tried to make the correct edits via the Diff report, parts starting from lines #25 and #58.I did try and make a search on the contents, and comment #comment-109605 and #comment-110144 both mention the same error, but without a conclusive answer.
    I am wondering if it’s because HemingwayEx uses
    “?php $counter=1; foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?”
    just after the ol code, so there is a clash, but any comments in the right direction would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance:D

    Hi,
    I’ve been really keen to use this plugin with HemingwayEx, but for whatever reason I keep receiving the non-object error >_

    DG: I still have no date for an AJAX release - I’ve just been too busy. I’m planning to include it in version 3.

    Tobi: By defining the WP_LANG constant in wp-config.php with an appropriate value (de_DE in your case) the plugin will try and find a matching language file in the paged-comments/languages/ folder. You will need to check to see if the paged-comments-de_DE.mo file is in that folder.

    Cucirca: I don’t know if search engines will view the comment pages as containing duplicate content. If you’re worried about it, please read the FAQ section on hiding the post body on comment pages.

    Thank you for this plugin!

    I had to manually add the plugin’s changes to my theme, but it’s looking good now! Great job!

    Regards,
    Nick

    P.S. I keep an updated Do Follow List on my site (there are more than 270 sites listed already) and since you site is dofollow, I want to invite you to join.

    Can you tell me if the comment pages are viewed as duplicate content?

    How can I deny robots from crawling separate pages?

    Thanks

    Florin
