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.

[...] 在我做 wp paged comments 之前， 有一个叫 paged comments 的插件， 这个插件说也是不需要修改模板的， 因为他自带了模板， 不过你也知道， 自带主题模板肯定是不全的， 所以对于部分用户来说， 还是很不爽的， 比如我用的主题他就没有， 我就必须自己修改我的主题模板才可以实现我自己的样式， 为此我最终就做了这么一个 wp paged comments 的插件。 [...]
Hi Keyvian, my Webmaster Tools is telling me that I have a lot of pages with the same title, I was investigating and they are talking about the different pages of the comments that shows the same title. (”Post Title | Blog Title)
Is there a way to include a line in the header to show “Post Title - Page 3 | Blog Title”.
I use the format “else if…..” in the title tag…
Thanks. Great Plugin!!!
Hi Keyvan,
I love your plugin and it is an integral/crucial part of my site. I am using it as a “guestbook” of sorts for people sending my twins prayers for a cure to their horrible disease.
Is it possible to create multiple instances of the paged comments that share all of the config information but not the same page template?
Since my guestbook is configured to change the word “comments” to the word “wishes” (in the paged-comments template) when I turn on paged-comments features on other pages the same word changes apply.
I tried to create a “new” template with the “original comment language” and I could not figure out how to make it work.
Before I spend a great deal more time trying to engineer a solution, I was hoping you might steer me in the right direction (or tell me that it is impossible/difficult)…
Seems like this should be pretty simple and someone has probably done this before…
Thanks a million in advance!
Hugh
