Hi,

What do I do if I don’t have a comments.php file? I had a custom WP theme made for me but they never made a comment section, so I’m attempting to make one on my own. However, I’m not sure: Should I just make my own comments.php file or should I download another theme and try and take it from there? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

For some reason it got rid of it. I meant this:

'div')); ?>

Hi,

I’m having trouble with this. I have a custom theme, and it only displays this:
'div')); ?>
in the comments.php – what do you suggest I do? I just want to remove the URL field.

Regards,

A “callback” is a function which is passed as an argument to another function.
In our example, the function custom_pings() is the “callback”. This needs to be placed in your functions.php.
To make it do something useful, this callback then has to be passed to the wp_list_comments() function (which probably appears in your theme template files), like this:
wp_list_comments('type=pings&callback=custom_pings');

Very nice “wp_list_comments()”
Will try to use it in my works.
But not at all understand callback of functions.php.
Good article! Tnx, Mark!))

Ade,

Absolutely Fantastic! Was just about to throw in the towel with respect to gaining added control over wp_list_comments() and then found your post. It took a little bit to fully understand what was going on, but you hit the nail on the head. Thank You!

FYI, deploying this on WP 3.1.2 with a theme manager plug-in and the ‘custom comment’ plug-in because I want to gather — and thanks to you — report additional field-level data associated with Comments.

Again, Thank You.

– Mark
