WordPress Paged Comments Plugin

FYI, I reverse engineered the solution to my count problem.

My non-standard theme had this code to display the comment count:

I replaced that with:

One extra tips here from my personal experience. This plugin can actually help your SEO since search engine does not like huge pages. For example, I have a blog post that have over 400 comments so far, for a period the blog post just sort of disappeared from Google and after I implemented this plugin it goes back up to its original top search result position (after Google reindex the post). So yeah, you might consider adding this information to your main post to persuade those who are still wondering if they should implement this plugin for their fairly popular blog.

I always have to install plugins in my daughters blog and she wants almost everything there is. But your is a good way to save time.

Yeah sorry about that.. I used blockquote and it didn’t work.

I’ll dig back into the code to see what I changed. Can you believe I forgot already?

Using this plugin wrecks the ability to use the comments_rss_link() function to show a link for the comments RSS feed.

I am going to try to find the issue in mine tomorrow but it would be nice if this were fixed in future version so that it did not try to page the RSS feed.

Hi, I am getting exactly the same symptoms as Florian in comment 61

Hello Keyvan,
sorry but the plugin is not working for me. I always get the message: “Sorry but comments are closed…” when I activate it, but that’s not true. I activated all comment options but it won’t work.

which he had fixed by comment 62 but didn’t say how. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Hi Keyvan, very good plugin

I have a little problem when working in K2 with timesince plugin activated. This one only return a text with the time past since the post was posted (using the post time and the actual time). Well, when Paged Comments activated, timesince works wrong. I can’t figure out why, but the text returned all time is less than 1 day (seems like the timesince function cut part of the date-time information, or something like that). The more strange is that the wrong date is the post date, not the comments date…

Any idea about it?

Hello, it’s me again.
Please find here the link to the page which gives me errors. Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Keyvan,
Yay! got it.. i works now! wahoo..
Thanks a lot and more power to ya!

Luxembourg Europe!

This plugin was my solution to include comments to a page to use them as a guestbook. It works very fine… thanks for this helpful piece of code!

Thanks very much Keyvan. The update fixed the problem with Trackbacks and Comments claimed as closed. When I get some money into my PayPal account from a sale of something, I plan to send a couple dollars your way.

Now, about ordering the posts the other direction…?
Is it just undesirable because some kind of permalink is broken, or are there other implications?

Thanks Saskboy – I will try that.

Great stuff – working perfectly now. Thanks a lot.

Hi again Keyvan.

My problem (with k2-timesince plugin) is now fixed with the last version (2007-01-11). Thanks a lot

I have the plugin installed and yesterday when I tested it on my own I had the comments in descending order but today when the 2nd comment came in it woud up in ascending order?
Here is line 40 from my paged-comments-config.php
>$paged_comments->ordering = ‘DESC’; which is in the Plugins folder.
Any info would be greatly apperciated….
Thank you most humbly..

When I use your new plugin Version (Jan2007) I can’t see my post preview in the wordpress admin area, it only says in that window: “no post for your search criteria” or sth. like that…I deactivated all my plugins and reactivated them bit by bit, but unfortunately it was your plugin that made the trouble with the preview. I now activated the old plugin version (Feb2006) and everything is fine. Too sad. Any idea?

Sorry, but with this plugin don’t work another like WP-Print http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php and the gravatar immages.

Hello,

will this plugin also be available for the following two themes?

- “Almost Spring” (http://www.pixeltunes.de/weblog/138/)
- “Red Train” (http://www.perun.net/2005/03/19/red-train/)

Also, is there a way to tweak the “recent comments” as clicking on the recent comments in the sidebar does not take us to the comment on that page.

Hi,
i needed a german version of your plugin. Therefore i localized it (gettext). Feel free to use my code.

Ich habe das Plugin auf deutsch übersetzt. Es ist eine vollständige Lokalisation, sodass die Strings auf englischen Blogs in Englisch und auf deutschen Blogs in Deutsch erscheinen.

Paged-Comments (german)

Kevyan,

It works fine for me on 2.1 except when I try have config like this:

$paged_comments->all_posts = false;
$paged_comments->all_pages = false;
$paged_comments->per_page = 10;
$paged_comments->ordering = ‘ASC’;
$paged_comments->fill_last_page = false;
$paged_comments->page_range = 11;
$paged_comments->fancy_url = true;
$paged_comments->show_all_option = true;
$paged_comments->show_all_ordering = ‘ASC’;
$paged_comments->default_page = ‘auto’;

I add a custom field to a post with more than 10 comments, ‘paged_comments’ with the value ‘on’, but it doesn’t paginate, the paged-comments.php file is not getting called.

No wait, I’m an idiot, it does work. Thankyou Kevyan.
