Reverse Comments Order of your Theme

Reverse Comments Order of your Theme

am 30. September 2008 in WordPress Hacks, WordPress Tipps

By default WordPress displays the comments of a post in an ascending chronological order. That means that the oldest comment comes first. Especially for blog with a great amount of comments it would be interesting to reverse the comments order to display the newest comment on the top.

Of course there are plugins for that. But with a simple change in your comments template you won’t need any plugin. With the PHP array_reverse function we simply turn the comments array generated by WordPress upside town.

Put the following right before the foreach construct in your comments template:

<?php $comments = array_reverse($comments); ?>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
  <!-- your comment list -->
<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

It’s simple as that :-)

If you would like to organize you comments in a reverse order and paginate them, I recommend the Plugin Paginated Comments.

Thanks JC! Very nice to hear that :-)

The plugin you’re talking about is called Subcribe to Comments. It is simple, just have to activate it and a ckeckbox will automatically be added to your comment form.

You made really nice themes, I’m very impressed.

Keep up the good work.

PS. you write well enough for any ordinary person to understand you. ;)

I was wondering how I could inform ppl who have posted comments on a particular post, with future comments, like the one below this post box you’ve made. Not something like yours, but something which performs the same function.

Nice to see you again ;-)

You just have to add the call of the comments template in page.php. Put it right before the endwhile as follows:

23
24
25

<?php comments_template(); ?>
 
<?php endwhile; ?>

Hope this helps…

hey, since you are posting about comments, how do I enable comments in pages on your “deColor” theme?
cheers!
