But if you would like your WordPress blog to display the most recent comment to be right on top instead of the usual at the bottom of a page, Moses of WPThemesPlugin.com suggested a tricky solution to display recent comments on top.
07. Displaying Total Number Of Comments On Your Blog
If you have a popular WordPress blog with good number of comments everyday, then wouldn’t it be nice to be able to display the total number of comments published on your WordPress blog since your blog launch? The kind of stuff advertisers totally enjoy.
08. Displaying The Total Number Of Trackbacks On WordPress
Would you like to display the total number of trackbacks you received on your blog. Here is the code that can make it happen. It’s fair very simple and easy to implement.
09. Disable Commenting On Older Posts
Sometimes, it can be useful to automatically disable commenting on posts older than X days. In WordPress 2.7 it is a feature but older WordPress does not have any built-in function to do that, but if you still like to do it, here is little help.
10. Get Rid Of The Comment Section On Your WordPress Blog
Removing the comments section on a blog can sound weird at first because comments are an important part of a blog, but sometimes you just want to spread some news without getting any feedback.
11. Changing The Default WordPress Gravatar
Thousands of blogs show avatars next to their user’s comments. The avatars are a great way to make things more personal and create some variety between the different comments. Over at Pro Blog Design, Michael has written a great tutorial explaining exactly how to add your own default Gravatar image, as well as provide some tips on how to make a good Gravatar default image.
12. Use Twitter Avatars In Comments
Do you enjoy Twitter? Yes, so what about displaying Twitter avatars in your comments, instead of gravatars? It’s fairly easy to integrates Twitter avatars on your comments.
13. Editing Comments
It displays a link to edit the current comment, if the user is logged in and allowed to edit the comment. It must be within The Loop, and within a comment loop.
14. Paginated Comments
Paginated Comments is a WordPress Plugin that gives you the ability to break your comments into a number of search engine optimized pages. You can create pages based on size of comments (so that no page of comments is greater than a certain file size) or you can create pages based on number of comments per page (100 for example). Although WordPress 2.7 have built-in function to do that.
15. WP Ajax Edit Comments for WP 2.5+
WP Ajax Edit Comments allows users and admins to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a limited time, while admins can edit all comments. It’s a pretty nice feature for a community website or a blog.
16. Improve Comment Follow-Up With The Subscribe to Comments WordPress Plugin
Subscribe to Comments is a plugin that allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. It is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there for the simple reason that it helps foster a community around your blog by encouraging commenters to come back and stay engaged in the dialog.
17. Display The Most Commented Posts Of 2008
Do you want to display a list of the 10 most commented posts of 2008 to your readers? That’s obviously a great way to give a second life to your old posts.
18. Comment Validation Hack
Comment Validation Hack is first step against spam. The system uses what’s known as a Turing number, named after the mathematician Alan Turing. If you have ever signed up for an e-mail account at yahoo or gone to e-gold’s website, you know what I’m talking about. More info here.
19. Preventing Direct Access To Comments.php
comments.php is meant to be included in a post page, not separately. You could consider this a security measure. Inside the statement, you could insert any message you’d want to be displayed to the person viewing the comments.php file, preferably a die statement.
20. Identify Authors With Gravatars
As title says you can use gravatars to identify your authors. Many blogs have a couple of authors and many times the blogs link and present the author of the respective contribution. Now with this feature you can do a lot more.
21. Adding Form Validation To Comments Using jQuery
When it comes to simpler user experience, having your form validation happen instantly on the same page is a lot cleaner than reloading pages and possibly losing some form content. This tutorial at NetTuts, shows how to use jQuery to do some instant checking on an example comment form.
22. Styling Individual Comment/Posts Using the_ID
How many times have you typed up a post and published it, only to wish that you could style that post just a little differently than the others. With the help of post IDs and comment IDs you can style any specific post or comment.
23. Separate WordPress Comments and Trackbacks
Trackbacks are the messages displayed in the comments list whenever another blog links back to one of your posts. If you use trackbacks on your blog, it is best if they are not mixed with the comments. The comments are a conversation between real people. Having machine-generated links in the middle of that will only serve to disrupt the conversations.
24. Prevent Author Impersonation In WordPress Comments
This modification to WordPress prevents unregistered comment authors from using the names or email addresses of the registered authors on your site. It does this by first checking to see if the comment author is logged in. If they are not, it compares their name and email address to the registered author data. If there is a match, the comment is blocked and a custom message is displayed.
25. jQuery Reply To Comment
Add “reply” and “quote” features on each comment list. If you have jQuery installed on you blog, this Plugin add two link in each comments list (on single page). This plugin can auto include jQuery from Google Ajax API repository.
26. Displaying The Allowed Tags
Gilles Maes at NetTut shows how to display the code that visitors are allowed to use in their comments. It takes only one line of code in comments.php and you’ll simply get a list of the tags that are allowed in your comment.
27. Comments RSS Link
When a post have lots and lots of comment, it can be hard for your readers to stay on the conversation. Most WordPress users don’t know it, but WordPress have a built-in function for providing rss feed for the comments of a specific post.
28. How to Remove rel=’external nofollow’ from Comments
For those of you who wish to join the I-Follow Movement and have WordPress blogs on your own domains, good news is that the rel=”nofollow” attribute can easily be removed without the need for additional plugins or software. In fact, it only takes about 5 minutes and one line of code but keep in mind that this can result in increased spam attempts.
29. User Contributed Link Feed with WordPress Comments
Collis shows how to built a link feed with just WordPress comments contributed by visitors. This is a cool feature to offer blog users to submit links and to create a public link feed out of it.
30. Full-featured comments.php Template For WordPress
Christian shares his fully featured and well commented comments.php file (with some modifications to make it even more flexible). This comment.php have lots of hacks already applied which can save a lot of your time.

Michael, you are doing a great job at problogdesign.com
I have been always a reader of your blog. :)
Thanks for stopping by.
You forget the “digg” features, like this site: fayerwayer.com
Thanks Danial for creating such a useful collection of tips for wordpress design seekers. I also thinking about changing my comment page on my college blog and saw instantshift’s latest post in my feed.
You guys are really awesome. You post quality increasing day by day.
P.
What a coincidence!! i was just searching for wordpress comment page plugins and came across your site. Nice list.
Thank you iShift.
I have one suggestion for one of your next post idea which goes like ‘Best WordPress plugins for comment page design’.
It’s like full moon in the dark night. much appreciated effort.
Excellent post….Just one doubt….why didnt you include any spam related hacks in this list.
@Adam Costa – There is one called “Comment Validation Hack” on #18.
why not use of plugin “Akismet” instead of “Comment Validation”??
@Adam Costa – Hacks and plugins are two different thing. This post is only about wordpress comments page hacks.
@Roger Komisky – Plugins are the easy version of hacks. All plugins are hacks. ;)
Thanks Danial for your efforts in putting all those set of tips together.
It’s time when many of us underestimated the power of wordpress hacks. It’s really cool to play with hacks. thanks instantshift.
Great list. Unfortunately some of the tips above don’t work on WordPress 2.7
ThemeLib,
Yes, WP 2.7 have many of these features inbuilt and API has been changed a little. ;)
Thanks, for the list.
A good list for reference. Thanks a lot.
List of Handy Manny hacks. Great list! I think that most of this content is really valuable! Thanks a lot.
Wonderful tips
Very helpful…
Let me try them on my blog :)
great post
cheers
from brazil
great post!! keep them coming!
Oh, this is a great list, i didn’t know about 5 plugins.. now i’ll use it, thanks ;)!
Great post! This have been very popular on tweeter!
Nice list. I would have liked to see these two as well..
Separating trackbacks and comments
Threaded Comment Display
@Sergio,
Digg feature was on my list at the beginning but since this article is only featuring hacks for comments.php and comments only, I though it would be nice to mention it later on some different article.
Daniel
@ChaosKaizer,
I already mentioned that. Few of these hacks has been included in WP 2.7 as a default feature but I felt I need to mention anyway because many of us use older version of WP. I still do. lol :D
sweet thanks for this wonderful resources
just a note with #14, WP 2.7 has this feature in core (a bit buggy thought)
Great Post!!
Eyespi20,
These are not really hacks but it would not be wrong if I call them customizations which we all do time to time on our blog themes to offer more flexibility and features for visitors. Some of these hacks are inbuilt features in wordpress 2.7 but since these features doesn’t not work very efficiently, I would recommend you to use these tricks until we have more stable features in wordpress. :)
While I’m not 100% comfortable with “hacking”, this list at least gives me some options.
I upgraded to 2.7, but some of the inbuilt functionality doesn’t work with my blog template. Having suggestions on ways to tweak it to include some of those things that I desire is nice as I like my theme and really don’t want to change.
I’d like to add a comment section to a static page on my blog which contains a popular article. If there’s a built-in way to do this in WordPress, please let me know. Otherwise, is there a way to achieve this? I’d really like to implement this. Thanks — and this is a great post.
Very informative. I gave you a plug in the BloggerTalk.net newsletter.

Awesome list, really all you need for making a WP comment section
I’ve just implemented the comments fix.
Thanks for this links dude, good work!
Thanks for the links man, good work.
I’ve just finished implementing the spam comments stuff on my site and it works a charm.
Here’s a really basic feature that I wish we could hack for WordPress comments: adding extra fields. Why has WordPress decided for bloggers that the only fields allowed are Name / Email / Website / Comment? What if I’d like to know what city they’re from? Age?
Is there a plugin that does this? (I’ve searched everywhere and couldn’t find one that worked with 2.9)
Great list,
I think you should have avoided premium plugins in the list.
I allow comments on certain pages so I added the following:
The problem is that I only want to have comments allowed on certain pages. I am looking for a way to do this. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thanks so much! This is such a big help.
This is a fantastic site. Thanks for all that you do.
Happy New Year!
Michele
Thanks for this! This is awesome!
Great tips
But what about the speech bubble style comments we’ve got going on here. How do we do that? Definitely more complicated.
Wow, I really didnt know that so much could be done with that simple wordpress comment box. Thanks, thats useful. Will do this on some sites later.
What a coincidence!! i was just searching for wordpress comment page plugins and came across your site. Nice list. Thank you for sharing!
Nice post, I gonna bookmark this page. thanks for info
Excellent hacks, thanks for the infos.
Thanks. Good job! Write more. It seems like I become regular visitor :)
Hey just wanted to say I recently started my own blog/website about technology and information. well i have been busy tweaking and modifying it and plan to continue doing so until i feel it is done the best it can be. the information supplied in this article is great and has helped teach me things i wanted to know how to do. i plan on implementing some of these things and pushing it further. So thanks very much for writing this list. i have to say google has not been helpful in giving me the needed information the same way this article has. Great Job!
They all really good collection of plugins. Ill try most of them. I am allready using some anyway :) Thank you
Thanks instantshift.. I used 18.
I am working on a new design and this is a perfect inspiration! Thanks.
Very good articles. Thanks. :)
Very helpful post Danie. There are quite a few ways to improve comments.
I was also wondering if there was a plugin to display say 10 most recent comments on the sidebar but with link at the bottom of the list that says something like “click here to see more comments or all comments”?
Also thanks to the russians we have to worry about mass spammers. take my advice, I fought this for months, then I blocked all link backs on my website!
by the way there is a plugin to show recent comments.
awesome list, it looks like a lot of hard work is involved behind this . . .
Very nice post. I will apply few in my blog. Thanks!!!
Thank for yout I Love This Site

hi my name is martha and im the legal creater of melon ball, i am quite martherish and mad! please comment back responding to this! :)
A great article but since it was written there’s been some changes to how WordPress handles comments (now allowing threaded comments).
I’d love to see this article rewritten to bring it up to date with the current version (2.9.2) or WordPress 3.0 which is due out at the beginning of May.
Thanks for sharing.
I see the oldest comments are posted on top.
That is exactly the problem i want to slove on my site.
Does anybodt know how te change the order of comments so the newest comment is showen first?
Much abliged,
Rufus
I am looking for a solution to separate comments and trackback and here I get that… Nice…

Nice tips, certainly be using these for my next blog design ! :)
Respect from London
Avidemux vs. Final Cut Pro? have you seen final cut pro? have you seen avidemux? The latter can’t even stand near the term “professional”. This is why people think open-source is crap. Because everyone tries to compare it to something, when it doesn’t even come close to it (as in user experience, performance, design).
very cool article, thanks to share
Excellent list and very well done! I love the visual effects that you put in. Very informative and helpful.

This is an incredible post.
I’m looking for help on excluding my own comments from the comments in the sidebar.
If you go to my site http://dianebourque.com and click on “Comments” (second tab in popular.php) in the sidebar, you will see my comments mixed with the comments from my visitors.
I would like to remove my comments from this list.
Any suggestion? Thanks for the great post. It’s on my delicious.
Thanks for this cool list.

Thank you for writing this list. Some of these tools will for sure make blog comments easier to manage.
Great job!
Nice list. Just curious does anyone know how I could create a custom comment form to only be shown on specific categories or a specific page? For example I want to show a business directory and thought about using comments to create directory. I would need to create a custom comment form with the directory fields but only have this show up on a page titled Business Directory with the rest of the pages and blog using the standard comment form and views. Thanks.
. You just need to buy another one.
Powerful list, and hope we can take more interests in wordpress
thank to share this WP hack, always be remeber

Thanks a lot for sharing!
I liked the alternate color for comments and author comments styling. I am going to implement it for my blog. Great write.
Thanks for this great share. I was desperately looking for something like this for a while. Actually, you have left me undecided on which one to choose :)
Hopefully, I will be able to choose one from the massive list. I liked few of them very much.
great list. :)
And I like the comment box style..
Does anyone know how to make this type of comment box?
Thanks..
Wow. Superb list :)
Thank mate!!
Great for reference. Thanks a lot.
bookmarked! WordPress comment styling always seems the last thing on my design list! This is a great resource to have..
Awesome post, I learned a lot :) I even had to go back and remember what I was looking for when I landed here, I’m wondering how you show the number of comments that each user has made on your blog? I’ve seen it before, maybe even on some of my own sites, but not sure how to add it to a theme that doesn’t have it.
For example in the comments it would say
david (10 comments) etc
thanks!
Interesting, but it really didn’t help me. I’m looking for an actual article or tutorial on HOW to change my comments area. I like yours, by the way. Would you be willing to tell me how you styled yours?
Deleted my comment?
I really like the list, am already trying Nr. 3 (author style). I’d also love to know the codes to your Comments style. Would you be willing to share it? pls mail it to me if you do!
Wow, thanks a lot for your awesome article!

Sweet plugins. tx
Hello and thank you for this great blog, I have been struggling with an issue in WP and cant find the solution anywhere!! maybe someone here can help me or at least point me in the good direction.
my big issue is: on most WP blogs i visit they have on the top right or left corner a bubble with let say 20 comments then people click on it and they are in the post but my theme does not have this and that causes the visitors to not click the Post title and enter the post, anyone kniows wich PLUGGIN I need to fix this ??
thank you in advance for your reply and love your blog ..
now i use disqus comment.. how about you guys??
Excellent article! I am looking to do a lot with my comments section and this will definitely help. Tired of the annoying generic default list.
Great and helpful tips dude! Now I can be more confident in helping my friend build a blog.
ishift rules!
I spent the better part of the night time working on how comments look. After being inspired by this blog on threaded comments I can now say my comments look great!
Thanks for this list, great job compiling, and nice clean look to how it displays.
One thing I’d like to see regarding comments is: when there are tons of comments on a blog page… a way to organize them for better readability, without offending the commentors. Just making it paged doesn’t necessarily fix the problem though… maybe something like
_ vote a comment to the top of the list.
As comments get voted on by visitors, they move to the top of the list by popularity.
This really good info here interesting, thank you very much.
why to use comments hack…….everybody want humans not bots….so natural comments are only ornaments for any blog
I also own a tech blog where i want my users to post code, script examples as comments. Is there any plugin or hack available which identifies code in comment and then make it geshi compatible. I have tried few things but no luck.
nice way to hack comments
sweet thanks

Thanks for the great post. I am always looking for ways to make my sites better and you have some very useful tips here.
Today I was searching for how to put one of those “You must be 18 to enter” pages on my wordpress sites. I have several adult sites, such as electronic cigarettes, that I would like to warn my visitors about before they actually get on site. Do you know any way to do that with WordPress? I use Thesis on all my sites.

Posts with lots of comments take a lot of time to load… is there a way to display comments on post only when the readers wants to look at them? p.e. a link a the end of the post that will display the comments only when this is clicked?
Thanks

better would be just to list the code.

I like the theme, thanks very much
Internet Explorer 6, the browser that refuses to die down despite the fact that even Microsoft wishes to do away with it and has launched a campaign to discourage its usage, has been given a blow by WordPress.com. The latter has stated that it will no longer support IE 6 and users will be required to upgrade to a new version in order to log into their WordPress dashboard.
How can i do this “06. Displaying The Most Recent Comment First “?can you give me a pm, or e-mail? thanks
These WordPress plugins look awesome, thanks for the link.
How do I make ALL comment fields display publicly in the comments – including email, website and custom fields?
nice…………………
I like the list, but they are hard to perform. I want an AJAX type of comment system that reloads the comment for the viewers pleasure, I cant seem to find one yet.
Great tips, will use them on my new wordpress blog about kredittkort!
grea wp tips site, the social media tips like for twitter were great and I will use the m for sure

Is there a way to add a comment button to a theme on the “main” page? as it is now readers can’t see the number of comments or quickly link to the comment section without clicking on the “read more” jump-ver link. I’m using wordpress 3.0 and theme “san cloud”. If I sound like a newbie it’s because I am. Thanks for your help. :)
Your awsome!
This is awesome because it adds beauty to your site. I will use it to my other sites. Nice one.
I have a question. The theme of the blog that I am writing is set up so that comments do not show up under my blog posts when viewed in archive format. In order to leave a comment the reader has to click on this bubble on the upper right hand side of each post, and that is where readers have to go to view the comments as well. Is there any way to change it so that the comments appear below each post without changing my theme? I am by no means extremely knowledgeable when it comes to coding and what not…

Fantastic list.. although I was going down it one by one hoping to resolve an issue which has killed a couple of days trying to resolve….. attachments in comments!!!! I can’t find a single theme or plugin that does it. Sure I could use a tinymce plugin but they’re all buggy and it’s a pretty clunky option when all I want is for users to be able to attach an image. Any recommendations??
This is a very good article. I once had to search for all the tips, but here you presented them in a single post. Thanks
I think some thing you have missed ” Subscribe to Comments ” plugin that allows commentators on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. It is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there for the simple reason that it helps foster a community around your blog by encouraging commentators to come back and stay engaged in the dialog.
Great!
Thanks for the great post! I have been working to find some solutions to several issues that I have with default comments.
Thanks for the link. I was looking for changing the Gravatar
