filters get_comment_text vs. comment_text

  • Hmm, what’s the difference? I’m thinking I should go through these filters and remove anything I don’t need, and keep the stuff I want filtered.

    I figure these filters are run a bazillion times per day on my site, could cost me a lot of money to over-filter.

  • Have you looked at the filter reference? Some are documented better than others but it should give you an idea of what they do.

    Yes, found that. But tells me nothing specific. Where in the source code can I can find exactly what these filters do?

    For me, get_comment_text shows no text at all, filters everything? I’m using comment_text() now and that seems to work better than $comment->comment_content. It adds “a href” to URLs, but I’m not sure what else it does yet.

    Well, comment_text() is good enough for now.

    —

    comment_text
    applied to the comment text before displaying on the screen by the comment_text function, and in the admin menus.

    get_comment_text
    applied to the comment text of the current comment in the get_comment_text function, which is also called by the comment_text function.

    You can find the default filters in wp-includes/default-filters.php but that tells you nothing about what various plugins and themes add.

    I’m unable to get a comment by an id using
    comment_text($id);

    anybody know the best way to do this?

    Please post a new topic.
