Hey guys,

 

I have pasted two php pages below. The first page does what I want - it lets the reverse-order-comments plugin work, whereas the second page doesn't seem to let it work, as the comments are in default order whether the plugin is enabled or not. First page also adjusts the date of every comment so they're always a certain number of days away from today's date. This keeps my comments looking fresh when they could be old..

 

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the second page use the date script and reverse order comments.

Please help if you can. It's probably something obvious that i can't find cause I'm such a PHP noob.

 

First page (old one that works)

 

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
	die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
	if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
		?>

		<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>

		<?php
		return;
	}
}

/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->
<?php if ($comments) : ?>
<div class="thick_box" align="left">

<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

<div style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #d1e9ff; padding-bottom: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: #333333;">
<h3>Submit Your <?php the_title(); ?> Review</h3></div>

<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>

<?php else : ?>
