Plugin: Auto Comment closing

I’m interested in this, but I’m not sure where I put the code? Help?

Highlight all the code from <?php to ?>
Paste it into a new notepad file.
Have *nothing* at all before the <?php and nothing after the ?> either.
Save it as “autocommentclose.php”
Upload to wp-content/plugins
Go to your plugin admin screen and activate it.
If you get a ‘headers already sent’ error, you had someting where there should be nothing ??

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Now the cron job thing??

No cron job needed.
Whenever the database changes, that script kicks in.

Wait, sorry…I just noticed the revision. Nevermind. Thanks for your help ??

Whoops–um, why is it doing this?

Wow … odd !
Have you altered anything else at all ?
I’ve just rechecked my blog and my plugin screen, and all is well there, so that’s why I ask about doing anything else.

Nope, I pasted the code exactly as it appeared. Perhaps I uploaded it the wrong way? I really have no idea what it would be doing this.

Using ftp, delete the plugin and see what happens ?

Well, if I delete it, everythng goes back to nornal. But as soon as I put it back, the plugin renders exactly as that screenshot shows.

sorry to sound so naive and ignorant but there is no wp-content directory and where can i see the plugin admin screen?
Hope to hear from you soon!

Anon, this is for wordpress 1.2 and upwards only. The wp-content folder is in the wordpress directory. The plugins folder is in the wp-content folder.
The Plugin screen can be got-to by clicking on the “Plugin” tab in the admin interface.
If you can’t see/don’t have either of these, then it might mean you are using an older version of WP.

yes im using older version of wp. so does that mean i cannot use this script because am using wp 1.0?
thanks so much for your fast reply. really appreciated it =)

Yeah, plugins can only be used for v1.2 and newer.

I tried using this and when I save a post I get this arror:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/username/public_html/journal/wp-content/plugins/autoclose_comments.php:27) in /home/username/public_html/journal/wp-admin/post.php on line 342
