I tried to set up CommentLuv on my site, and got through to activation with no problems; however, there's no notification of CommentLuv's presence on my comment forms, and it doesn't scrape feeds when comments are posted. Any ideas? Is CommentLuv compatible with the latest stable wordpress? data dumps last blog post..Infochimps

Yeah it’s not the styling of the comment that’s the problem – I’ve already got that licked. It’s just the specific styling of the text and link your plugin inserts.

It just seems odd to me that it will adhere to the tag, but seemingly nothing else…

masey: it seems that you cannot style comments with style statements made within the comment, there is a way to edit your comments.php file to add style, check this site

Actually that didn’t work… any other ideas?

if you want to apply the styling to the output, simply add a class=”commentluv” to the bit, that should do it I think

Andy…

Love, love, love the plugin!

I only have one issue and that’s the way the links that are inserted look. I figured it would be an easy enough change to make myself after finding the relevant code in your plugin file. Currently the code is set to simply output the message and link in italics

I, on the other hand, wish to add in a break between the text and the link, and apply the following style to the comment:

.commentLuv {
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 5px 0px 15px 0px;
color: #999999;
}

I’ve tried both attempting to refer to my style sheet, and also embedding the style information with no joy on either attempt.

I tried posting the code lines on here, but they didn’t render right. If you are willing to help me out on this one, can you email me and I’ll send you the code examples I have tried?

Many thanks in advance mate.
