This plugin still works great all these years later – thanks for making something clean and light that just works ??
One small request: with PHP 7.2 I am seeing deprecated function notices for create_function:
Function create_function() is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feature-comments/widget.php on line 152
It would be great if this could be fixed. Thank you!
]]>Hi,
I try to featured/bury comment as an admin from front page.
I click the feature/bury button it’s changed to featured/burried.
But when I refresh the page the click doesn’t save anything. I have no javascript error in my browser console.
But it’s works from backend.
Any update how to fix this?
Thank you.
]]>Great plugin. My problem is that when I set the excerpt length it cuts off words (in the middle of a word). Also, if I have 5 comments listed, some of them will obey the excerpt length but other excerpts will be extremely short for some reason. Any way to fix this? Thanks
]]>Hi Pippin, I came across your answer to this question Custom Query with WP_Comment_Query
I would also like to paginate WP_Comment_Query, I’ve done it with WP_query but I’m a bit confused by WP_Comment_Query.
You mention: ‘You have to use the offset and number parameters. offset is the number of items to skip.’ I was wondering if you could elaborate on this answer?
I’ve asked a question on https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/158614/paginate-comments-using-wp-comment-query but haven’t got an answer that’s why I’m asking here. I’m sorry to disturb.
PS. Thanks for making top notch plugins!
]]>Exactly 3 comments are always shown in the Featured Comment widget no matter what the “Number to show” setting is. It’s also possible to select a negative number which reverts to positive after saving the settings. No harm in that, but it would be better if the lowest possible number was 1 or 0.
]]>Is there a clever beaten path method for making “buried” comments *never* show up in another comment widget? (I realize it depends on the widget, but suppose we’re just talking about the one included in the WP core.)
]]>I thought I’d invite people to share how they’re styling and using this plugin. That topic took a little thought as I could not locate good examples — just Chris Coyier’s ruminations on the subject. I don’t know if he still uses it on css-tricks — I couldn’t locate an example.
What I’ve tried resembles how the featured/buried comments are styled in the backend: buried comments are faded out a bit, and featured comments are highlighted. I make buried comments take a smaller font and hide their date link and avatar. It becomes “John says ‘Nice post!'” in a very small space, the point being not to insult or eliminate these comments — they’re just “buried” because they don’t contribute to discussion but are not offensive. (Inclusion of a “like” function will keep people who just want to express good will from doing it with a comment.)
In contrast, I have featured comments take a wide, high contrast background and an enlarged font size.
]]>The feature/bury functionality works for me, but the widget never displays because it won’t “stick” to any location in the widget manager. When I try to place it in a widget position the “busy” wheel just spins forever and the widget never takes its place there. To make sure it wasn’t a conflict with another plugin or theme I tried it on a separate test site with Twenty Fourteen and no other plugins installed. Same result.
I’ve never seen this happen before, so I’m stumped. I’m using Firefox, but I also tested with Chrome and got the same result.
]]>Hey love the plug in. I’m wondering if there’s a way to always highlite the first comment made. Is that a feature you guys have or is there a code I could put in to do that?

]]>Hi, I want to provide a Russian translation for this plugin. Where can I get English .po/.pot for the translation? And where should I upload translated version later?
Thanks for the great plugin!
Feature request
1. Is it possible to create radio-buttons and additional check, so featured comment can’t be ‘buried’ in the same time? Now it’s kind of strange.
2. It will be very useful if you add list of default css classes of the plugin in the plugin description, so it will be more user-friendly and users will know what to do in .css to make this plugin work on 100%.
3. Default .css for .featured / .buried will be also useful ??
]]>hi!!
links may appear also the author of the post???
thank so much!!
]]>Hey Pippin,
i was looking at the WP_Comment_Query page in the codex and it doesn’t seem to have an option to paginate the query like we could do with wp_query.
Any idea on that? The idea would be to list all of the featured comments and have a pagination with something like 10 comments per page.
Thanks

]]>Hi there,
first of all: thank you for this idea and plugin. Ir really rocks. I am a language teacher and would like to reward valuable comments of my pupils on content of our school website which is a WordPress installation. I have installed the plugin, everything works fine, I can bury, feature, unbury and unfeature…but unfortunately I cannot figure out where to define the classes to reflect the features on the front-end. So far I tried to apply .featured and .buried-classes in the style-sheet via the backend editor. Unfortunately by doing so it doen not trigger the comments. Anyone here who could lend me an arm? Cheers from Chile, Micha

]]>Would be great to include functionality for displaying all or recent featured commented in a widget, like Featured Comment Widget plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/featured-comment-widget/), but with the wonderfully dashboard>comment functionality of your plugin.

]]>Hey Pippin. I know this question was asked over a year ago (before you took over) but no answer was given. Is it possible to just query featured comments?
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/feature-comments/
]]>FYI to whoever is developing this plugin, version 1.1 works splendidly on my site (https://seattlebubble.com/blog/) but when I upgraded to 1.2, clicking “feature” or “bury” no longer had any effect whatsoever.
I downgraded back to 1.1 and things are fine again, but I thought you might like to know.
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/feature-comments/
]]>After installing the 2 options appear, but they do not work, so you click bury, then refresh and you can bury again. So it does not stay that way.
Anyone knows a way to make it work ?

]]>Hey man,
Great plugin!
Would be great if I could query my comments for the featured comments. Any chance of making that happen?
Thanks,
Jacob

]]>Hi there,
Thank you very much for the useful plugin!
I am using WP 3.2.1 with a Prototype child theme.
I have been wondering how it would be possible to move the Feature/Bury links into the area where the main comment actions appear in the front-end?
At present I have Edit, Permalink, Delete, Spam and Reply in one line above the comment. However, the Feature/Bury options appear below the comment. How could I move them into a group with the other actions?
I have used the code below to add in the Delete and Spam links on the front-end. I would like to do something similar with Feature/Bury:
function my_delete_comment_link( $id ) {
$out = '';
if ( current_user_can( 'edit_post' ) ) {
$out = '| <a href="' . get_bloginfo( 'wpurl' ) . '/wp-admin/comment.php?action=cdc&c=' . $id . '">Delete</a> ';
$out .= '| <a href="' . get_bloginfo( 'wpurl' ) . '/wp-admin/comment.php?action=cdc&dt=spam&c=' . $id . '">Spam</a>';
}
return $out;
}https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/feature-comments/
]]>Innocent Request ??
Add more options (custom) for comment meta?
I want to be able to add more custom comment meta, to have more options, other then the existing Feature and Bury.
And maybe for more advance use, to mark directly the comment author so all his\her comments will be highlited on entire site.
Thanks for your time!
Nice Work!
