Display the total number of comments your readers have left

Posted by on 27th Jun 2007 WordPress Plugins 14 comments

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that in the comment area on Blogging Tips i have added a small line of text which displays the total number of comments that the commentator has left. I actually believe that this is a very useful plugin. It shows you and other readers how often someone comments on your site. This is an easy way to remind you which bloggers are commentating frequently on your blog.

The plugin is called Featuring CountComments and can be downloaded from here. There is only one file to upload so it shouldn’t take you long to add it to your blog comment area.

Enjoy :)

  • Posted by Kevin on 27th Jun 2007

    no – it works for everyone :)

    I installed it on my site. It works nicely…the number on mine is just in parentheses after there name.

    Jennifer – i assume youve used the default code. I amended it ever so slightly. Use this instead to remove the brackets :)

    <code>

    <?php fcc_comment_count('','(1)','%c'); ?>

    </code>

    I'm interested to see how many I've posted!! It's a neat thing but I don't think I'll be adding it to my site.

  • Posted by Jennifer on 27th Jun 2007

    All right, I really did it that time. I fixed it all up. LOL… It is really a pretty simple code isn't it.

    All my comments on one post count as one comment (see here)?? Interesting, but good.

    Kevin,

    This looks like an interesting and handy little plugin. I'm going to go check it out right now! :)

    In a reply to a previous comment, Kevin, you said it works with anyone who has commented on your blog.

    Well, I uploaded and activated the plugin. I viewed my blog, and, nothing… When I view comments nothing has changed.

    I went back and read the description of the plugin – "Counts the number of comments by authornames. – Attention! This means, that your commenters have to be registered and logged in to comment! This will not work in weblogs where everyone can comment!"

    Hmm.

    thats not the case Tay. i have only two authors and a dozen or so contributers set and everyones name is still being displayed correctly – im not sure why it hasnt worked on your blog. I can look into this for you next week if you want :)

    This is a very cool plugin, and I think I'll add it to my site redesign that I'm working on. Thank you for sharing…now to just get out of my lurker mode and increase that number.

    It didn't work for that person because you have to add the extra code to your template. This plug in you don't just turn on and it works. You should read the "read me" file that came with it and add that code in after the author name code in your template.
