Wordpress: Enable Threaded Comments For My Theme

[MatthewWoodward]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to hire someone for a quick job.

I want threaded comments for my wordpress theme which currently does not support them. I have ticked the box in discussions options but to no avail.

If I replace the contents of comments.php with the default themes comments.php then the threaded comments work BUT I lose all the custom styling of my comments boxes.

Here is a copy of my current comments.php file http://pastebin.com/JfxYeGDd for reference

I also have a copy of the blog on a staging area so you can tweak/edit without effecting the live website.

Plesae respond/pm me with price & turn around time

Thanks

Hi,

That is EXACTLY what I want the only problem is that it then removes the current custom styling.

I tried to integrate it with the custom styling my theme uses and thats where I hit a brick wall after many hours of trying.

I can modify code to an ok level, but thats as far as it goes ^^

Probably 5 minutes work for someone that knows what they are doing.

I'll pay $25 immediately for this fix.

$35 if its completed within 24 hours of this post


Edit: I should also clarify I'm currently using this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-thread-comment/ to generate the threaded comments you see here http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/tips/successful-people-vs-unsuccessful-people-which-one-are-you/

And that takes care of the styling but it doesn't quite work properly and if you click to reply to a comment that already has a threaded reply it goes a bit whack.

I also want to remove the plugin and use the native support wordpress has because that provides the neccessary hooks for other plugins I can't use at the moment

Your coding skills are probably better than me. I generally hack out a solution after 48hrs of frustration ! I moved to livefyre for comments a while back. Does look like an easy fix, suprised you have'nt been inundated with pms

Sounds like we are both in the same boat skill level wise =D

Thanks for jumping in with the link though, need more members like you!

Why don't you use a solution like Disqus or Facebook Comments?

I have just removed Facebook comments after using them since launch as I want to do more with them than what both of those solutions offer

Oh ok I understand. Maybe for your blog is better not to have Facebook Comments since people dont want to post all their SEO talks on FB. By the way your blog is awesome!

Hi,

That is one of the other contributing factors to it - I actually asked my readers which they would prefer and they have spoken

Thanks for checking out my blog and your advice in thread
