Hey Bineet,

The function code would be placed after or before the add_filter() section inside of the functions.php. It doesn’t matter to much. It would look like something like this…

”,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
));

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
return 20;
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘new_excerpt_length’);

function mytheme_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
…
}

Let me know if this helps.

Ya, its completely different from the way that the default wp_list_comments() works. Because that function doesn't really give you any options for more than calling one function your limited. You have to make a simple foreach loop that goes through each of the comments and then customize it from there but if your not familiar with the functions related to the comments it gets hard. If you want to email me with some problems your having or anything your welcome to, my email is arthurjarmstrong@gmail.com.

Ah, I see. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a few days now but keep getting completely lost. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it.

I love the style of your comments here. Simple and clean.

Well its kind of a pain in the butt but here is a general idea of what you would need to do as shown above in the updated post.

So this is a very basic example and not working but it will give you intervals so you can change the class and put a counter if you wanted to along with custom output. This does not have the author, avatar, etc, just the comment. Again, this is probably not working because I havent tested it at all so you will have to clean it up and check some of the functions.

Is the code above what you used to get your comments here?

I want almost exactly what you have only without the avatars and numbered but I’m still having a hard time understand how to do it.

Woah woah woah, are you serious?!?! That’s a little to extreme, even for a web developer like me. I mean that’s like rewriting the Internets.
