In the moment I always run into problems with users selecting popular names like “Mike” or “Tom” and nobody can tell, which “Mike” wrote a specific comment.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
However, there a two things, which I don’t want to do:
1. I don’t want to force the users to register and to login.
2. I’m not able to create my own plugin.
I hope that I’m not the only one having this kind of problem and there is already a solution somewhere…

]]>A user pointed out that his name was being changed in the comment title box.
He typed in “John Doe” but we got “John+Doe” showing when the comment was moderated and approved.
The photo below shows this result. A sample link https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/the-gideon-warriors-of-jesus-the-water-test/
I tested that URL (and others) using a couple of different browsers – mobile and desktop- but I could not duplicate the error and on checking, not all two-part names gave this error. The user who let me know about it, uses a mobile browser.
I passed this to our Theme author who said “all the comment code is strictly handled by WordPress, not the theme.” and so could not help. Their testing also showed negative, but at the same time as their test, I got another “Yanchun+Feng” from a commenter. Normally he does not use the +.
Yesterday I cleaned things up and deleted all the extra “+” characters and found they went back to July 22. So the issue started then.
I am using the latest version of WP, all plugins are up to date, I have WP-Debug on, but it is showing no issues. I have also reloaded WP, but no change. I made no changes to WP on July 22, other than the automatic updates.
Any thoughts?
Regards and thanks,
Angus

If you see the comment area, you’ll see the comment author link doesn’t display properly.
It’s cool to have just username (without link), but I don’t know which WordPress template file to edit.
Would you please be kind enough to help me with this?
Thank you!

I’m setting our comments to show the comment author’s chosen display name. Any help you can offer is appreciated.

]]>I have come across a very weird problem in a blog I support for a friend of mine.
The last 1-1.5 months, there are 3 distinct cases where commenters have reported that they see wrong information for the comment author name and email fields when they are trying to post a new comment.
The wrong information is not random but belongs to other commenters of the site (e.g. a commenter with name let’s say ‘UserA’ and email ‘EmailA’ sees ‘UserB’ and ‘EmailB’ where both ‘UserB’ and ‘EmailB’ belong to a different -valid- commenter that visits the site).
The problem does not happen frequently enough so I cannot reproduce it at the moment. (The site has a few hundreds of commenters and an average of 200-300 comments per post so the error’s ratio is rather low).
I know that the comment form fields are set via cookies when a commenter posts a new comment however the fact that the wrong information is a valid name and email of another commenter, suggests that this info comes from the database somehow which I find it very strange.
So I would like to ask the following to the community and especially to wordpress developers:
1) does such an issue sound familiar for worpress 4.4.2 or previous versions? Since the issue started to appear about the time wordpress 4.4 was released I was wondering if any relevant issues existed which are now perhaps fixed in 4.4.2?
2) what would be a suggested approach to track the issue down in a live site? I have studied the way wordpress creates a new comment and it fires quite an amount of filter and action events so theoritically either wordpress or any plugin could cause this. From the code I have reviewed though everything seems to be ok.
If there are any ideas/thoughts on what could be the cause of such behaviour I would highly appreciate it if you share them
Best regards
]]>At the moment my comment form just has the comment author’s name (ie. it just says, “Jane”). That’s fine for top level responses in direct reply to my blog post, but if anyone is responding directly to Jane (for example), I’d like it to read, “John’s response to Jane.”
I’m working on a testing server so I can’t give the url for my site. I hope my question is clear enough so that’s not a problem. If someone thinks they can help but needs more info – like my code – just let me know what you need and how to share it.
Thanks
