That was exactly what I was looking for. I already added it to my theme dkret3. Thank you!

Excellent — glad to hear it!
Stay tuned for an update coming very soon which will provide a couple of handy new features…

A question about our own CSS. I wrote out my own css, which you can see here.
And then I added those lines to my theme CSS and told your plugin that I will provide my own CSS.
I am confused as the CSS I showed above does not work within my theme CSS.
You say to provide dvi.commentnumber in the admin area, but how do I add that to the CSS that you provide or that I wrote above?
Thanks!

Hmmm, I’m not positive I understand what you’re asking, Marina… Do you mean that your custom CSS works when you have the plugin load it (having over-written the original sample CSS), but it does not work if you add it to your theme’s existing CSS? If so, one likely cause is that your browser has cached the old version of your theme’s CSS and has not yet loaded the new version (the one to which you have added your code).
Another possibility is that an error in your existing theme CSS is preventing everything after the error point in your CSS from being parsed — that would mean that anything you add at the end of the file would just be ignored. (The validator at validator.w3.org says your main CSS file contains 10 errors and 325 warnings, but whether any of those would be responsible I don’t know.)
As I’m sure you know, debugging someone else’s CSS (especially a giant main theme CSS file) is a pretty serious undertaking, which I’m not able to dive into. At least you know for sure that your numbering CSS itself results in very nice looking numbers!
All the best,
Greg

13Hi Greg,
I’ve just tried version 1.1 and it works perfectly. It was easy to style (I just styled the plug-in’s CSS) and I am very happy with it.
No bugs found yet.
What can I say other than excellent work! I’ll include a link to your plug-in page on my site (when it’s up and running – still stylin’ it :D ).

Hi Greg, this a bit off topic, but I trust your plugin know-how.
What plugin did you use for your comment subscription? Is it one of yours, and how do I add ‘Notify me of followup comments via e-mail’ to my blog?
I found this feature useful in keeping me up to date with your plugin development, and it’s something I want to have ;)

Hi Philip,
Mark Jaquith’s Subscribe to Comments does the trick, even though it’s a bit rough around the edges under 2.7, while a newer plugin called Comment Reply Notification is also available.
Note that for keeping up on anything other than comments on one single post, though, I think it’s better to encourage people to use your RSS feed or an RSS-to-email feature. Also, one of the risks of using a comment subscription mailer of any kind is that when spam comments get through — and there will always be some — those spams will go right out to all the subscribers.
All the best,
Greg -

Thanks for the heads up and warnings! Spam could be a real problem.
Is there any way to make it a ‘registered user only’ feature?
-
13.5
Hi Philip,
Users already have to register themselves explicitly in order to receive comment notifications — or do you mean registered for the blog? I imagine you could probably modify the plugins to accept subscriptions only if the current user is logged into the blog…
Good luck!

Greetings…
I have been using your plugin successfully now, but once the 02/02/09 update hit, I lost all my numbering. All there is now is three dots (…)
You can see it here: http://www.heresytoday.org/2009/02/02/some-so-called-christians-dislike-my-blogroll/#comments
Not sure what is what, but it was indeed fine minutes before I updated. :-)
Thanx..

Easy fix: just visit the plugin option page and set your preferred number of levels for hierarchical numbering. Existing users need to do this due to architectural changes that support 10-level numbering.
All the best,
Greg -

Sorry about not reading the readme, I just flew over to let you know in case it was a bug that might need to be addressed. Well, I tried to be a good bug reporter, but failed. LOL

No problem — in fact your question prompted me to push out a new release, just to be sure that other folks didn’t encounter the same problem. Whether it was technically a bug or not, the plugin wasn’t doing what you were expecting, and your message let me know that.
Thanks!

15I just want to let you know that on wordpress dasboard there is no info about your plugin update. I knew the update when visited your website.
I use WordPress Thread Comment plugin but thread comment number doesn’t appear. Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi Rudi,
Greg’s Threaded Comment Numbering plugin is designed to work with the built-in threading and paging provided by WordPress 2.7, not with any of the older third-party solutions that also provide threading (like WordPress Thread Comment). None of those older third-party solutions are fully compatible with the WordPress 2.7
wp_list_comments()function, which is what my plugin relies on for providing the numbering.All the best,
Greg

17Dear Dr Greg..the reason I use WordPress Thread Comment plugin is that on wordpress default comment there is time lag between clicking reply botton and the comment box to appear and the comment box doesn’t appear on the botton of the comment that want to be replied. I show it doesn’t happen on your blog. How do you that? Thanks Dr Greg for answering my question.

Hi Rudi,
Although this site is carefully optimized and customized (loading the comment reply javascript at the end of the page rather than the beginning, for example), it sounds like you’re encountering more than a minor performance issue with the WordPress 2.7 threading.
My best guess is that your theme needs to be updated so as to allow the WordPress javascript direct access to the page elements it needs to move the comment reply box where it needs to go. There’s a good article about this on the WordPress Codex:
If you have a peek at the section headed ‘Javascript Comment Functionality’, you may be able to find the answer.
All the best,
Greg

Hi Greg — The theme I use and really like (Hybrid News) is put together in such a way that I rarely (if ever) have to modify any .php file. However, your plugin would address so many on-going issues that I think I have to make an exception. Here’s the problem: the Hybrid News comments.php file is already modified to the extent I am not sure how to insert the necessary code. Right now the comment listing section of comment.php reads like this:
'ol',
'type' => 'all',
'callback' => 'hybrid_comments_callback',
'end-callback' => 'hybrid_comments_end_callback'
)
); ?>Is this something I should leave alone, or is there a way to get your code in there without causing undue mayhem? Thanks for whatever help you might be able to provide.

Ah well, that didn’t work either. Here’s a link to a screen shot of the relevant portion of the comments.php file:
-
18.2
No problem, Rosina — we can see from the snippet of code which came through (as well as in the screenshot) that your theme already has a callback function called
hybrid_comments_callback. So if you find that callback function within your theme’s files (probably infunctions.php), you can insert a call to the comment numbering plugin using the second example given above in this post, under “Safe Wrapping of Plugin-Dependent Function Calls”. What that will do is check to see whether the plugin is active, and if it is, it will call a function within the plugin to display the number. You can insert the code wherever you would like the comment number to appear.Good luck!
All the best,
Greg
