My last version was WP 2.5.1 and I finally upgraded to 2.7 last night. It was more or less a painless task since all of my plugins still work with 2.7. At most I had to update them via the one-click plugin update (it is more like 2 clicks but who’s counting ;-)).

However, it did require some changes in my theme. I could have lived without these changes as my theme did not break … I just wanted some of the new features to work.

So here’s the low down on some of the main changes in Wordpress 2.7 and how to deal with them:

Admin Interface

This has to be the biggest and best change yet. The admin interface has improved threefold. It is so much easier to get to the section you want to open. It is just faster and easier to use not to mention it looks great.

Dashboard Changes

Personally I always thought the dashboard real estate was always wasted. Not anymore. It now displays a hoard of important info including recent comments, drafts, statistics, etc and also lets you add a quick post directly from the dashboard.

Write/Edit Posts and Pages

You can now choose the boxes you want displayed on these pages as well as drag them around to suit your preference.

Posts Index

You can choose which columns to display. Mouse over a post to display menu options like Edit, Quick Edit, Delete, View.

Quick Edit brings up some basic editing options for the post. Among other things you can change categories, add tags, edit the title, slug, etc as well as make a sticky post.

Sticky Posts

As mentioned above, the quick edit option lets you mark a post as sticky so it stays at the top of your blog. However, one small change needs to be made to your theme regarding this.

Find your post loop in index.php, archive.php, category.php. Look for the starting div … something like this:

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post">

Change this to:

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

You can also add one or multiple classes to this as follows:

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('class1 class2'); ?>>

The classes need to be separated by a space.

Better Comment Management

There are a lot of improvements related to comments. Not only can you perform bulk actions like marking as spam, deleting, etc, but you can finally reply to comments from within the WP admin interface. About time this feature got added. The only thing I miss is a threaded reply feature here.

A menu pops up when you mouse over a comment giving you the option to reply, edit, delete, etc.

Threaded Comments and Comment Pagination

These two much needed features have been added to the core WP installation. No need for plugins to do either.

Go to settings and then discussion. Here you will find the option to set pagination and threading on along with the settings. You can choose the number of comments to display as well as how deep the threading should go.

Now for the harder part. These two features require a change in your comments.php file. This is all you need to display your comments:

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
</div>

<ol id="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment'); ?>
</ol>

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
</div>

You also need to add this line to your header.php file:

<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>

This is just the basic comment code which works with pagination and threading. You can style the basic code or add a call back function for extreme styling or in other words your own custom comment design.

I will try and cover that in another post.

Logout

If you have a logout option in your theme, make sure to replace the logut url with:

<?php echo wp_logout_url(get_permalink()); ?>

So these are…

…some of the changes in WP2.7. The goods news is that your old theme from WP 2.6 and 2.5 will still work as will most of the plugins. You only need to make the changes if you want to add the new comment features.

You can get WP 2.7 here.

Saved from two upgrades. Phew!

Here’s the lowdown on why you should upgrade to 2.6.2

It is most important for those of you who allow open registrations on your blogs. Of course there are some bug fixes, too. So best to upgrade.

So here goes…

Plugin Compatibility

CForms is now completely compatible with three of the most used comment plugins.

• Subscribe To Comments
• CommentLuv
• WP AJAX Edit Comments

First Step is to install the above mentioned plugins and activate them.

Next… adding Subscribe To Comments and CommentLuv

When you add the comment form you will notice two extra fields: Subscribe To Comments and CommentLuv. Adding these will make sure that the two plugins now work seamlessly with CForms. Yes it really is that simple!

And … WP AJAX Edit Comments
This is the simplest one to work with as all you need to do is upgrade to the latest version of this plugin. The plugin authors of both CFORMS and WP AJAX Edit Comments have worked together to make sure the plugins are compatible. So hats off to them.

Comment Template

When you post a comment using the CForms comment form, you might not get to see the comment posted until you refresh the page. This is because there is one last setting that needs to be adjusted.

1. Click global settings.
2. Next select ‘WP Comment Feature Settings’
3. The most important setting here is ‘Parent Comment Container’. Your comments are wrapped in an ol tag. Whatever id is set for that must be added to this field. Example:

   <ol id="commentlist">

   In this case the ‘Parent Comment Container’ will be ‘commentlist’

4. Next we design the look of the comment template to match the one in comments.php. This can be done under ‘New comment HTML template’. If you click on Supported Variables you will see a list of all that you can use. The good news is that there is now a gravatar option. Also if you use the Default Template as the starting point, it also has the option of alternating the class.

   <li class="alt" id="comment-{id}">

5. Lastly you can also set the gravatar size to your liking.

You should now be able to preview your comment without re-loading te page plud have the option of editing it if yo are using the WP AJAX Edit Comments plugin.

Troubleshooting

There are some problems you might run into.

1. You might note that your first comment needs refreshing while the follow-up comments can be easily viewed without a reload.

   There is a reason. Your most probably have your comment code like this:

   If Comment {
   <ol id="commentlist">
   <li>
   Comment Here
   </li>
   </ol>
   }

   Note that the ol tag is only displayed if there is a comment. Your blog doesn’t know there is a first comment until the page is re-loaded. Since the ol tags are not used, CForms cannot show the comment. If you have them outside the ‘if comment’ and the ol tag is rendered regardless of whether there is a comment or not then Cforms can work its magic.

2. You might find that you can no longer access your Wordpress admin or that pages go blank after you save settings. Check to make sure that cforms.php in your plugins/cforms folder does not have any empty spaces at the end. If the problem persists, then it can be a PHP memory issue. This can be set in your php.ini file if you run your own server or you can ask your host to increase PHP memory to say 32 or 64.

Enjoy the new version of CForms … I’m sure this plugin will continue to improve. In which case there will be a part 3 to this tutorial someday.

Surprisingly not everyone is facing this problem.

A client of mine has the exact same configuration on his blog (give or take a couple of plugins) as mine. However, he faced the broken image problem while I did not. Of course we have blogs on different servers so that might have something to do with it.

The Fix

The fix is pretty simple. It’s just finding it that takes time

1. Browse to your Wordpress admin settings.
2. Click on Miscellaneous
3. The first field there is ‘Store uploads in this folder’ and most probably contains the folder wp-content/uploads. The second field ‘Full URL path to files (optional)’ is most likely blank. It is this field which you need to fill up. Add the full path to your uploads folder as follows (assuming your upload folder is wp-content/uploads).

   http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads

   Your images should now upload without a problem.

Wordpress 2.6 Uploading Broken Images - Fix

What’s the solution?

Separate the two, of course.

But How?

That’s a good question. You will find plugins that do this but if you can manage something in the theme design, it is best to do so rather than install plugin upon plugin. Plugins are best used where you cannot achieve your objective without touching the core Wordpress files.

In this case all you need to work with is your theme’s comments.php file.

Step One - Counting Comments and Trackbacks

Since the normal comment count includes both the comments and trackbacks, we first need to get a separate count for each.

Find this line in comments.php

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

Add the following code under it

<?php
$numTrackBacks = 0;
$numComments = 0;

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$comment_type = get_comment_type(); 
if ($comment_type != 'comment') { $numTrackBacks++; }
else { $numComments++; }
}
?>

Basic gist:
First we set $numTrackBacks and $numComments as 0. We then check the database and loop thru the comments and trackbacks. If the record retrieved is not a comment then a number is added to the trackback count otherwise the comment count is increased.

Step Two - Showing the Comment Count

Next we need to show the comment count before we display the comments.

Find this line

<?php if ($comments) : ?>

and add this code after it:

<?php echo $numComments;?> 
<? if ($numComments = 1) :?>
Response
<? else : ?>
Responses
<? endif; ?>
to &#8220;<?php the_title(); ?>&#8221;

This will spit out the comment count in this format:
1 Response for ‘Post Title’
5 Responses for ‘Post Title’

Step Three - Displaying The Comments

Next we have to display comments. Look for this line:

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

And add these two lines after it:

<?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<?php if($comment_type == 'comment') { ?>

What we are doing here is checking to see if the record retrieved is a comment.
If so then we display it.

Since we have opened a loop, we also need to close it.

Find the line

<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

and replace it with:

<?php } /* End of is_comment statement */ ?>
<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

We have successfully displayed our comments without any trackbacks or pingbacks.

Step Four - Displaying Trackbacks and Pingbacks

Time to display our trackbacks and pingbacks.

Add this code right after you finish displaying the comments (in most themes it would be after the /ol tag):

<? if ($numTrackBacks != 0) :?>
<br />
<h3>Trackbacks and Pings 
(<? echo $numTrackBacks; ?>)</h3>
<? endif; ?>
<ol>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<?php if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>
<li><?php comment_author_link() ?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>

You can change the styling and format to suit your site. However, this basic code will show your trackbacks and pingbacks separated from your comments.

–

Now there is no excuse to not clean up your blog and organize your comments.

A friend asked me why this was useful and why anyone will want to see their comment twice?

My answer: If your comment is pretty long, the textarea will start to scroll and you won’t be able to look at your entire comment in on go. The preview on the other hand shows the comment in its entirety. This way you can see how it looks and proof read with ease before you post.

I have gotten this technique from the Rockatee Blog. So a big thank you to Maleika.

1. First things first. You need to download jQuery. Lets just name it jquery.js and place it in your theme folder.
2. Next download this file and place it in your theme folder.
3. Now open header.php from your theme and add these lines in the head area:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/preview.js"></script>

4. Last step is to add the following code to you comments.php file wherever you want the live preview to show up.

   <div class="comment-preview"> <h3>My Comment Preview</h3> <p class="live-preview">Add some instructions - this text will get replaced by the comment preview.</p> </div>

5. You can use the class p.live-preview to style the live comment preview.

See that was simple and you have your own comment live preview.

1. Subscribe To Comments
   I am absolutely staggered that so many bloggers don’t use this one. Don’t they want their commenters coming back? When I comment on a blog, I really want to know when there is a reply. And subscribe to comments is the perfect plugin as it sends me an email whenever a comment is posted.

   Without this option, your commenters may just get sick and tired of checking manually or not bother at all. Not everyone subscribes to the comments RSS feeds so make sure you provide this option.

   I cannot stress this one enuff!

2. Do Follow
   Another plugin I have dedicated an entire post to. Reward your posters by removing Wordpress’ default rel=nofollow from comment links. A do-follow blog is more prone to comments especially if it is one that is just starting out. Read more about no follow, do-follow.
3. CommentLuv
   Give your commenters additional incentive using CommentLuv. This plugin searches their RSS feed and adds a link to their last blog post in their comment. Your commenter gets a keyword rich anchor link to his/her blog. It is Google heaven for them
4. KeywordLuv
   This brings me to the next plugin and more Google heaven You might have noticed people using spammy names with keywords in place of their real name. This is because they are trying to get keyword rich links back to their blogs.

   This plugin makes the job easier without the spammy name bit. Just add your name as YourName@Your Keywords and Your Keywords will be used as the anchor link and your name will be shown separately. So if I write my name as Erum Munir@DotsnDashes Website Designs, my comment will show it as:

   Erum from DotsnDashes Website Designs

   Pretty cool, eh?

See it is just four basic plugins which offer so much in return.

A couple of other comment plugins which may help are:

1. Top Commentators
   Adds a list of your top commentators to your sidebar. Will work best once you have a few comments to start with. Believe me when I say you don’t want an empty list. This plugin adds an incentive for repeat comments as one needs to have some comments to get to the top. How many really depends on how popular your blog is. I have seen people specifically commenting at blogs with this plugin. So it might work for you, too.
2. Recent Comments
   This plugin works with the recent comments widget already a part of Wordpress 2.5.1 and Wordpress 2.6. It offers the option of styling your recent comments display to be a bit better looking than the default. You can use it to add a link to the commenter’s blog from your sidebar.

And remember when the comments start rolling in, these plugins will help keep you organized:

1. Akismet
   As always keeps most spam at bay. Comes with the core Wordpress installation.
2. Better Comments Manager
   It can get a bit tedious going to each post and replying to comments from there. Better Comments Manager lets you do so via the Wordpress admin - all in one place. A definite time saver if you have a lot of comments.
3. WP Paged Comments
   Having too many comments can also be nightmare if your page flows on forever. Enter WP Paged Comments which adds pagination to your comments. Phew! What a relief and great alternate to that mile long page of comments.

Once you install and activate the plugin, don’t get intimidated by the dozens of options available. It is pretty easy to set up. Click on CForms from your WP admin menu.

Click to view the bigger image

Please match the steps to the above image:

1. Select a contact form you want to edit. One form is pre-added for your convenience.
2. Alternatively you can also use these links to select the form you want to edit.
3. You can also add a new form or duplicate the current one.
4. Change your form name here and click update settings (12).
5. You can toggle AJAX settings on or off. You might want to do this to get CForms to work wither certain comment plugins. More on this later in the post.
6. One of the most useful features is you can add form presets. These provide a great starting point for your form. Amongst these are the basic form, form with error messages, comment form replacement and a few other options. I suggest starting with the form with error messages for your contact form and the comment form if you want to replace your default comment form with CForms (yes you can do that).
7. Add fields by entering the number you want add and clicking the plus sign.
8. Next add a field name.
9. Click on the little settings image next to the field name text box and it will give you a pop-up with all the options. This makes it easier to fill the options for that particular field.
10. Select the type of field you want for example an input field, a checkbox, a dropdown, etc. You might want to go back to the last step to update the options if you change the field type.
11. Choose from several options like making a field required, make it disabled, verify email address, make it read only, etc.
12. Once you are happy with the form click on update settings to save it.

Once you have finished with the form above scroll down to the settings. These are specific to the chosen form so make sure you have selected the correct one.

Redirection, Messages, Text and Button Label

The first few options relate to form specific text and messages that need to be shown on your contact form (for example what text you want on your submit button). You can change them if you want but the default values are fine, too.

These are the values you might want to change. Message summaries comprise of both error messages and form submission success or failure messages. Choose whether to display this above or below your form. I personally suggest above the form.

Next choose if you want to use javascript to show the errors.

Fancy error messages add certain styling to the fields that are showing errors. You can change this styling but the default is pink.

This was one way of highlighting the fields giving errors. Another is to add the error message along with each field. Checking Embedded Custom Error Messages will do the trick.

Next set the limit on how many form submissions your visitor can make.

You don’t need to deal with the redirection fields unless you want your visitors to be redirected to a specific page after filling the form.

Using CForms as a Comment Form

Click on WP Comment Feature. It is the sixth option.

Select ‘Enable this form to optionally (user determined) act as a WP comment form’

Five new comment specific fields are added to your form once you do this.

Now go to form preset and choose the Comment Form preset. If you want you can add a captcha or Q&A verification field to deter spammers.

Next add:

<? insert_cform('comments'); ?>

in place of the regular comment form in your comments.php file. Replace comments with the name you choose for your comment form.

Your visitors should now be able to use the Cforms comment form to post a comment or send you a note.

If you have AJAX enabled on this form, then know that the page will not re-load once a comment has been added. Therefore the commentator will not see the comment styling you have added to comments.php until the page re-loads.

You can change the styling that gets shown until the page gets refreshed under the main menu for Global Settings. Choose ‘WP Comment Feature Settings’ and make changes to ‘New comment HTML template’

Enabling CForms Comment Form To Work With The Subscribe To Comments Plugin

Since this is a very widely used plugin, let me explain how you can add the the checkbox to subscribe to your Cforms comment form.

Select ‘Core Form Admin / Email Options’ and check the ‘Use custom input field NAMES & ID’s’.

This will enable you to add custom fields with their own specific values, id’s and names.

The subscribe to comments plugin needs a very specific checkbox with value, id and name equal to subscribe.

Now go up to your form and add a field. Here’s what you need to add to field name:

[id:subscribe]#Subscribe To Comments|subscribe

Let me explain. The [id:subscribe] adds subscribe as the name and id in the input tag for this checkbox. #Subscribe To Comments can be changed to whatever you want to display on your contact form next to the checkbox. Adding |subscribe adds subscribe as the value for the checkbox.

Note: You will have to turn AJAX off for this form as the subscribe to comments plugin does not work with AJAX on.

Also it will keep showing the checkbox to subscribe even when your visitor is subscribed. It won’t get swapped with the Manage Subscriptions link.

A workaround is to just add the subscribe to comments option outside of the comment form. This way people won’t have to leave a comment to subscribe either. Just add this line either to single.php or comments.php depending on where you want to place it.

<?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>

What about other plugins

I haven’t tried other plugins but for example the CommentLuv plugin uses the id, name and value ‘luv’ so it should work the same way as above.

AJAX and Comment Plugins
If you are using other comment plugins then it is a good idea to turn AJAX off. For example the WP AJAX Edit Comments also works better with AJAX turned off as you need to re-load the page to view the edit option.

If you have successfully used Cforms with other plugins then be sure to mention that via the comments.

In conclusion … Cforms is one of the most extensive plugins I have seen. The plugin author has not only worked on adding all the features one can think of and need in a contact form but has also worked on its presentation. It is a pleasure to use this plugin with all its features and design options.

And I have only covered some of these features. There are lots more features and settings you can tweak to your heart’s content including the ‘Tell-A-Friend Form Support’ and so much more.

So just install the plugin and enjoy.

How do you do that?
By giving them a good enuff reason to do so.

Like they say there is no such thing as a free lunch.

We have already discussed one approach and that is by making your blog do-follow.

Another option is the CommentLuv Plugin.

This plugin searches the commentator’s RSS feed and adds the title of their last blog post to their comment.

Benefits to the Commentator

1. Increased Visitors
   You are sharing your visitors with your commentors. If their post titles are attractive enuff, people browsing your blog are sure to click on these links.
2. SEO and Page Rank Benefit
   Normally your commentator’s get a link using their names. The anchor text has no keywords and hence the link benefit not so much. A post title on the other hand may be full of keywords and hence great for Page Rank benefits. Not to mention it is a page rank benefit for their inner pages which may not get much Page Rank Luv normally.

There is just one problem

And that is if you are redirecting your feed to FeedBurner. The way FeedBurner is set up by default, post titles link to Feedburner. This may give you some stats but guess who gets the page rank benefit?

So how to turn this off?

There is a great post on how to Turn off FeedBurner Redirect in RSS Feeds. Be sure to do this to get the full benefit of this plugin for yourself and make sure to educate your commentators on this issue as well.

I first installed it locally to test it out and make sure that nothing was broken and the website was showing up fine. Good idea on my part.

Turns out there was a permalinks issue.

Everything was totally mucked up. I couldn’t get the post pages to load. I was getting tagged headings on category pages and the rest were just giving a page not found error. Oops!

Am I glad I didn’t directly upgrade live!

But there is good news.

This issue has a fairly simple solution.

Turns out you gotta make sure that the category and tag base fields are not empty in your Permalinks section. So I promptly added category for the the category base and tags for tag base. And that is all it took!

Phew.

On to checking the plugins

Apparently all of them are working. Nothing broken and the site looks ok. Will find out soon enuff if something refuses to work. So far so good.

What about the new features?

Well the three that really stand out are:

1. Plugins Enhanced
   The plugins section offers an enhanced experience and a comparitively clutter free environment. The active plugins are separated from the deactivated ones. There is also a list of recently deactivated plugins.

   Better still you can finally delete plugins from within Wordpress. About time this option got added.

2. Post Revisions
   Nice! Just in case you muck up a post and want to go back to an older version, now you can! This is especially useful for people who might have several authors working on the same piece.

   The only thing is I wish there was an option to delete these revisions - I haven’t found one yet. I mean I don’t want to save a version every time I correct a spelling error.

3. Review Template
   I have saved the best for last. Being a designer, this is the ultimate feature for me. Now instead of testing live, one can preview the template in the design section. This totally blew me away! Extremely useful feature for when you are looking to change your theme but want to confirm it works fine first.

There is also the Turbo feature but I haven’t tested it out yet. So I’ll comment on that once I do.

All in all it hasn’t been as bad as I expected and it has been more or less a smooth enuff ride.
