How to implement Threaded Comments in Wordpress Themes

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

In Wordpress 2.7 Features, a new feature – Threaded Comments is introduced.

The problem is that most of the wordpress bloggers are facing is that their theme doesn’t support Threaded or Nested Comments.

To check whether Threaded Comments is supported by your current theme or not, Follow the below steps:

  1. Upgrade Wordpress is to 2.7 version, if not yet upgraded.
  2. Login to Wordpress admin and go to Settings -> Discussion
  3. Check on “Enable threaded (nested) comments ‘n’ levels deep”.
  4. Click Save changes to enable Threaded Comments.
  5. View any post of your blog that contains few comments.

If you see a Reply link after each comment like shown below, then your Wordpress Theme supports Threaded Comments otherwise it doesn’t support:

You will see reply links for every individual comment

You will see reply links for every individual comment

My current theme doesn’t support it. I have made some changes to comments.php and style.css to support Threaded Comments. But, the changes are not yet live on my blog. I have done whole testing on my Local PC and the screenshot is taken from there. I need to do little bit of tinkering in CSS. By the way, if you are new to CSS then Learn CSS by reading this Book. Download It Free!

How to Protect your blog content from getting copied

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Every day there are number of blogs coming up on the web. With this increase in number of blogs, there is also a increase in “Copy Cats” who simply copy our content without our permission and without attribution.

The question is How do you Protect your Blog content from getting copied?

Below is one of the solution.

My friend Chetan from TheChetan.com has developed his first ever Wordpress Plugin called WP-CopyProtect.

This is just a basic copy protect plug-in which stops the Copy Cat from copying the content. But, if someone want to copy your content he/she can go to source of the blog and can easily copy the stuff from there.

The plugin Disables Right Click and Disables Test Selection on a Wordpress Blog with this plugin installed!

I recommend you all to visit Chetan’s Blog and Download WP-CopyProtect Wordpress Plugin.

I am very happy to see that he has developed the plugin. It has also inspired me to create a Wordpress Plugin. I have few things in my mind. If i am free and have mood to do some coding in PHP, I will come up with my own Wordpress plugin in future.

The installation instructions and Faq’s about the plugin are there on the same above link.
