Here's how I got it following <a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/edit-comments-with-functionsphp">this thread</a>: 1. Read the <a href="http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-theme-comments-template-tutorial/">Comments Template Customization Guide</a> mentioned earlier, and add custom_comments() to your functions.php 2. Copy comments.php from Thematic parent theme to your child theme. 3. In your own comments.php, find wp_list_comments(list_comments_args()); around line 34. 4. Modify it to wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=childtheme_comments'); Voilá.

I've been playing with Thematic for a couple of weeks, and I'm getting to know the filters & hooks stuff. Now I'm trying to add some markup to the comments, my goal is to float to the right the meta information of each comment by enclosing comment-author & comment-meta into a "comments-info" custom div. I've followed <a href="http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-theme-comments-template-tutorial/">Ian's Comments Guide</a> and realized the comments template he is proposing is actually the comments.php template in Thematic 0.9.7.7. Should I need any apply_filter stuff to use the custom_comments() function? I've also followed the steps by patrick and after adding my_callback() and my comments-info doesn't appear either. Thankyou all for the awesome help :) dorabelle on "How to edit a comment's meta?" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-edit-a-comments-meta#post-13626 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 01:55:25 +0000 dorabelle 13626@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ To advance your editing of meta data, you should try out the "All in One SEO Pack" plugin for WP, its really easy to go through and edit meta for about everything, and can help you promote your <a href="http://www.chacha.com/topic/website">websites</a> pretty well, I use it. good luck patrick on "How to edit a comment's meta?" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-edit-a-comments-meta#post-11040 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:00:02 +0000 patrick 11040@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Glad it's all good for you !

It's working now! I re-installed thematic and then the code above worked a treat. I think that I must have altered one of the parent files in the original thematic theme way back (when I was not fully understanding the parent/child theme model). Thanks massively for your help.

The only change i've made is, because I have other functions in my file, removed the <code><?php</code> at the beginning and <code>?></code> at the end of your code. If it's the only function you have in your file, leave those opening and closing statement, if not, remove them. Other than that, hmmm, do you have a comments.php file in your child theme folder ? Give me a url so I can have a look. Thanks, P.

I've been trying to get this working this morning but still having problems - removing the bits I want from the function doesn't appear to have any effect; I'm still seeing the whole "Posted 17 March 2010 at 3:23 pm | Permalink | Edit" in the comment meta The code I'm using in functions.php is: <?php // Custom callback to list comments in the Thematic style function mytheme_comments($comment, $args, $depth) { $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; $GLOBALS['comment_depth'] = $depth; ?> <li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" class="<?php thematic_comment_class() ?>"> <div class="comment-author vcard"><?php thematic_commenter_link() ?></div> <div class="comment-meta"><?php printf(__('%1$s', 'thematic'), get_comment_date() ); ?></div> <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') _e("\t\t\t\t\tYour comment is awaiting moderation.\n", 'thematic') ?> <div class="comment-content"> <?php comment_text() ?> </div> <?php // echo the comment reply link with help from Justin Tadlock <a href="http://justintadlock.com/" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/</a> and Will Norris <a href="http://willnorris.com/" rel="nofollow">http://willnorris.com/</a> if($args['type'] == 'all' || get_comment_type() == 'comment') : comment_reply_link(array_merge($args, array( 'reply_text' => __('Reply','thematic'), 'login_text' => __('Log in to reply.','thematic'), 'depth' => $depth, 'before' => '<div class="comment-reply-link">', 'after' => '</div>' ))); endif; ?> <?php } function my_callback() { $content = 'type=comment&callback=mytheme_comments'; return $content; } add_filter('list_comments_arg', 'my_callback'); ?> Any ideas?

Simply replace it with <code>get_comment_date('d M Y')</code>. You can also do get_comment_date('d / M / Y') or something similar. If you want it to be below the comment, just put the entire comment-meta <div> below the comment-content <div> And Voilà !

First, have a look at the discussion.php file. There's a function inside called <code>thematic_comments</code>. Copy that function and paste it in your functions.php file. It starts from <code>function thematic_comments</code> … to … <code><?php }</code> Rename the function from <code>thematic_comments</code> to what you want, something like <code>mytheme_comments</code>, then take out everything you want from there, specially the "Posted" you want to remove. Once you're ok with it, you should do the following : just below the <code><?php }</code>, paste this : <pre><code>function my_callback() { $content = 'type=comment&callback=mytheme_comments'; return $content; } add_filter('list_comments_arg', 'my_callback');</code></pre> Look carefully at the second line here. At the end it calls your function, <code>mytheme_comments</code>, so make sure that name and your function name are the same. That should do it. Keep me informed of the results !

That does indeed work to remove all of the comment meta but I'd like to still keep the Date, so just remove the word "Posted" and Permalink.

I've been struggling to solve the following though: If someone was to comment on a post then the line underneath their name (next to the avatar) would read: "Posted 17 March 2010 at 3:23 pm | Permalink | Edit" How would I modify the php code to remove the word "Posted", maybe remove the time and the Permalink and Edit buttons? Thanks in advance
