that’s okay, I appreciate even knowing if someone’s reading this.

I don’t know if you’d need to add it in a specific manner within that author call

that’s what I am asking… is there some place I can find whatever it is that CREATES comment_author_link() to edit that? adding target=”_blank” within it produces an error.

Surely there’s someplace that defines what <?php comment_author_link() ?> actually does to write:

href=”https://www.example.com” rel=”external nofollow”

?? where are those files or are they not visible or editable?

am I doing something wrong or does no one understand what I am asking or what? I seldom actually see an responses to my questions… I’d post a link to the page, but given that you cannot see the server side code, that seems pointless, doesn’t it?

I really could use some help with this question and with the one I’ve asked in several places about how to get the “inline” comments method to require login… (under comments tag)

Please?

in the header, look for

<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>


and remove the // just after <?php

Does no one have an answer for this? I’ve tried all combinations of using the code from comments.php page but it always returns errors… so I don’t know how to combine it properly, I guess.

Please help! TIA

this is a little bit off-topic, but related… I see that if I disable the popup comments, comments are inline… BUT HOW can I make the popup version ALSO ask to login or register the way the inline one does?

No one seems to answer that thread.

Hi,
Designbymichael, your file says:
Open up the wp-comments.php file and add these few lines of code after the opening <?php tag

where is that wp-comments.php file? within WordPress? I can’t find one.

I am new at WP, so patience is appreciated. I’m trying to require a user to be registered and logged in to comment.

I just commented out the part that called the theme stylesheet and added a link to a new style sheet I created.

comment out:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );
body { margin: 3px; }
</style>


and then add something like:


<link href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/whatever/your/path/is/commentstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />


and designed the style sheet from there. Seems to work just fine.

HTH

I’m implementing the pop up comments method as well and would like to find out more about how to require that a person be logged in (or have to register) to comment. The non-popup method seems to have that by default, but I cannot find an example of it in any popup comment (comments-popup.php) example (for default or classic).

When I try to copy the relevant code from the comments.php page (at least what I THINK is the relevant code) and paste it into the comments-popup.php page, I get errors related to the else: portions

Where can I find a working example of a comments-popup.php page that requires login or register to comment and is there somewhere else that I also need to edit?

Help appreciated. The search in the forums and documentation is pretty useless, really, so sorry if this has been discussed in the past and I just didn’t find it)

thanks for the link to TAGStention! I posted a link to it on the DW forums so other could find it. VERY cool.

thanks for sharing… I was able to take this and modify it for my custom theme easily.

thanks!

care to share how you fixed it?

what’s this drag and drop images?

nevermind, I found out it was a Safari thing.
