Add the twittar plugin for WordPress w/ comment threading
I talked about the Twittar plugin in a previous post. But learned that the read me text file was only useful for installing the necessary php
code into WordPress themes that don’t have comment threading enabled.
Since most new themes past version 2.7, pull the comments section from functions.php
file, that is where you have to edit the avatars in order to show the twittar settings.
First open you functions.php
, and look for a line of code that says:
function custom_comment()
This is where your new comments are pulled from when you have the threaded comments enabled.
Now just find <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, $args['avatar_size'] ); ?>
& replace with <?php twittar(70, "", "", "avatar avatar-70 photo", 1, "R"); ?>
. Keep in mind that you will need to edit the Twittar setting to fit your site.
