This plugin allows you to add Twitter-like @reply links to comments.
This plugin allows you to add Twitter-like @reply links to comments.
When clicked, those links insert the author name and a link to the comment you are replying to in the textarea.
Most of the code is taken from the Custom Smilies plugin by Quang Anh Do which is released under GNU GPL :

Thanks to Guillaume Ringuenet for the arrow graphics.
I didn’t create anything new, and I do not claim so in any way.
This plugin is just a feature I wanted and judging by the number of downloads I guess I wasn’t the only one. 😉
/wp-content/plugins/
directory.dreply.png
file is for dark background themes use it to replace the default reply.png
file if you want/need.They should be visible only when you move your mouse cursor over a comment text. If it still doesn’t work, open at-reply.php
search for visibility:hidden;
(line 26) and remove that part, then you can also remove the whole line 29 .comment:hover .yarr { visibility:visible }
because it becomes useless. This will make the reply links always visible for all comments (and not just the one your mouse cursor is over).
Either you have disabled JavaScript in your browser or your WordPress theme is not using the default id for the comments textarea (which is comment
). In the later case, check your comments.php
file to find your textarea id, then open at-reply.php
and replace all the document.getElementById('comment')
with document.getElementById('YOUR_ID')
.
It’s hard to please everyone. For me, @ Reply should be a built-in theme feature and not a plugin. But plugins are easier to install (when it works).
You can still download the previous version, just remember to replace Version: 1.0.1
with Version: 2.8
(or any higher number) on line 6 so that WordPress doesn’t suggest you to update the plugin.
A plugin that filters the default WordPress comments functions, may prevent @ Reply from working. For example, WP_Identicon does this, but it also has an alternate setup for “advanced users” that doesn’t conflict with @ Reply.
