  2. Great idea. I am kinda curious what made you think of make a plugin like this.

    Just a side note: I just started blogging; is spam so bad that we need to write 6 lines worth of policy? :P Bad deal – i hate spam

  3. this plugin came about because I wanted to have something that could do something better than blogrush when that first came out. better to link to your own commenters than some high traffic blog that already gets traffic enough

  4. Andy, CL is not working with my new theme. I have the same problem with other plugins such as top commentators and comments subscription. I am on WP 2.5. Any idea what might be the problem?

  5. I am new to blogging and i am always looking at every possible option that would give my blog a edge so i will try this new plugin for sure.

  6. mira: the plugin requires the template to call the commentform hook so it knows to display the text, if you can see the settings page for CL but no text is added to the bottom of the commentform then you know it’s your theme missing the hook. one way is to add &lt’?php add_text();?> to the comments.php file of your theme (just below the submit button before the form ends)

    Junior: hope it goes well for you!

  7. Since the recent upgrade I’ve been having some problems with CommentLuv. I just tested it several times with debugon and it’s finding the feeds for blogspot and wordpress.com blogs, but it’s not finding them for self-hosted wordpress blogs. For those blogs the debug is returning: [debugon] (has luv) (remove slash) (using curl) (no links returned)

    Are other people having problems? (has luv) (remove slash) (using curl)

  8. chicken girl: if you can send me the urls of the sites having problems then I can throw them at my test script and see what’s going wrong, or you could leave them here and I’ll get on it asap

  9. The URLs that didn’t work on my site are:

    http://www.silentdave.net/
    http://www.chickengirl.net/ (I tried logging out and putting in my own URL as a guest)
    http://www.daylightatheism.org/

    I tested them on your testing widget here and they all worked, so I’m not sure why my site is having trouble.

    Chicken Girls last blog post..Poll-stuffing for great justice!

  10. if they’re working here but not for you AND the curl option is shown on the debug then all I can think of is maybe your hosting blocking access to fiddyp.com. send them a support message and ask if curl’ing external files is allowed… or ask them to put http://www.fiddyp.com on the whitelist for external file access…

  11. I just tested them again and now only daylightatheism.org isn’t returning a feed, the other two are working. Could it be just a DNS propagation issue from the script being transferred? There isn’t any rhyme or reason to it otherwise.

    Chicken Girls last blog post..Poll-stuffing for great justice!

  12. chicken girl: there are occasions when the remote script server has a tough time downloading the page pointed to by the author url, if that happens, it gives up and that’s why it doesn’t return any so I think it must be a bandwidth issue. if their server or mine or any in between are running a little slow then it can miss the last blog post.

    not really a solution I know, but even the best sites are unavailable for a few seconds each day and if that happens to be the same time that commentluv is trying to parse it then it wont work.

  13. Hi Andy,

    I think I have the same problem as Mira’s. I tried putting “<?php add_text();?>” in the comments section of http://www.eofw.net but I got this message: “Warning: Missing argument 1 for add_text() in …”

    I must be missing something. I’d appreciate your help. :)

    Thanks!

  14. noee: I made a booboo, try adding this to just above the </form> tag in comments.php
    <?php do_action(‘comment_form’, $post->ID); ?>

    it might be better to type it manually rather than copying and pasting from here because the quote characters might change when you paste them.

  15. Cool! It’s working now. Thanks much! :)

  20. I am a little confused as to the value of a commentluv plugin being diminished by using nofollow links. I mean why bother with an extra anchored link when it is nofollow anyway. I like the idea and I think it does help in some respects (yahoo & MSN) but we all know that Google is the important one when it comes to backlinks and without the dofollow it is dubious except for traffic. Do you agree with me or am I missing something. i am kinda new at this so I am fully aware I could be in the dark. please enlighten me.

  21. I kind of have a problem. Everything was working fine but now for one blog comment luv ist not working.
    let me explain with an example. 2 blogs on the same server
    (1) clau.thesisters.ro
    (2) cristian.livadaru.net
    If I enter a comment on blog 1 using url from blog2 then comment luv doesn’t return anything.
    If I enter a comment on blog 2 using url from blog1 then it’s ok!
    It is the same source and plugin for both! they are both on the same source and using a shared installation so it is the same code being executed.
    What is even stranger is that if I enter url from blog 2 here on your site, it works!
    I did some debugging and as far as I can see, I don’t get a result with curl
    curl ‘http://www.fiddyp.com/commentluvinc/remoteCL5.php?type=single&url=http://cristian.livadaru.net&encode=UTF-8′

    I a bit confused now. everything worked some weeks ago and now it isn’t working anymore and I have no idea why.

  22. It worked for me. Thanks for the code.

  23. Thanks so much for the great plug in, it is very valuable to anyone out there with a blog. Keep up the good work.

  30. commentluv plugin is good one for our visitors … i have it on my blogs too ,…

  31. Got to say that when I first found this, I didn’t know what to think of it, but after making a few comments on other sites using the plugin, I fell in love with it. It is probably one of the bsest I have seen in a long time.

  32. It took some getting use to. But once I got it, it was great. I can definitely see that it’s improved my ranking with Google, I get more traffic and make more money. I love it now.
