WP Wall

WP Wall is a "Wall" widget that appears in your blog's side bar. Readers can add a quick comment about the blog as a whole, and the comment will appear in the sidebar immediately (without reloading the page).

All comments are internally handled by WordPress so that means you have normal comment moderation, SPAM protection and new comment notification.

WP Wall is fully customizable with a CSS file and included graphics.

WP Wall features:

Global commenting "Wall"
Comments are handled entirely by WordPress
RSS Feed for the Wall
Smilies
Instant delete for admin
Navigation through pages
Interactive Wall: It can automatically refresh turning into a chat

Download

Download: WP Wall

Installation & Usage

1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
3. Use the Options page to change your options
4. Add the widget to your sidebar

5. Optionally add WP Wall recent comments to your sidebar. This will filter out wall comments from appearing on recent comments list

FAQ

How does it work?

It creates a draft page in your blog under which all comments are stored.

What if I don't use widgets, how do I code this to appear in the sidebar?

Just put this code somewhere in your theme template, probably sidebar.php

<?php if (function_exists('WPWall_Widget')) WPWall_Widget(); ?>

How does it combat SPAM ?

The same way your usual blog comments work. You can enable comment moderation. Or you can install one of the spam blocking plugins like Akismet.

How to have fixed height and a scrollbar for multiple comments?

Open up wp-wall.css and look for #wallcomments. You should add something like height:200px;. This will give it fixed height. Then increase the number of comments in the settings to 10-15.

How do I change it into a shoutbox/chat?

Just set the refresh time to 5 seconds in the WP Wall options. The Wall becomes a chat-box :)

Performance issues with hosting/server

Be careful with setting interactive chat option. On busy sites this can cause overload of server resources. Try increase the refresh time above 10 seconds or disable this option by setting 0.

An error occurred, please notify the administrator

If you have this problem, change the file permissions of the files in the wp wall directory to 755.

How can I enable smilies?

WP Wall can show smilies using built in WordPress functionality if you enable it in your administration panel (Settings-> Writing-> Convert emoticons...). You can find more information about using smilies here .

Is it possible to display a “Wall-Archive” Page to show all comments?

Actually you will find WP Wall in your draft pages. Just edit it to your liking and - publish it! All comments will appear at the end of the page as usual.
How do I add a border around the comment wall?

Add this to #wallcomments section of css file:

border: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding 7px;

How did you solve the problem with the commenter's email address?

The plugin does not require one to enter their email address.

What's new

v1.5
- Fixed bug with if the blog was not in root directory (thanks Enrico Rossomando)
- Added a special recent comments widget which will not display Wall comments (thanks Enrico Rossomando!)
- Tested in 2.8

Hello, Hernan.
English:
You need to go to your Wordpress Dashboard. Go to Settings, then Discussion. Uncheck the two options marked "An administrator must always approve the comment" and "Comment author must have a previously approved comment" and tht will do. Good luck!

Espanol:
En el Tablero de Wordpress ve a la sección de Opciones, luego a Discusion. Retira las selecciones marcadas como "Un administrador debe aprobar el comentario en cualquier caso" y "El autor del comentario debe tener un comentario previamente aprobado". Eso servirá. Buena suerte!
Hernan 06.24.09 / 3pm

Hi! Thank you too much for the plug-in.
I´m from argetnina, I wanted to know how to make the plugin
not to need to approve the comments.
Because if I have to approve each comment, it does not
seem to be like a chat.
I hope you understand me... I send you my regards from ushuaia argetnina.
And once more, thank you for your hard working in the plugin, and for share it, with others.

I'm having the same issue as Matte. When I post anything, it loads wp-wall-ajax.php with all the posts instead of updating the post onto the same page.
Rebecca 06.15.09 / 12pm

I like the app, but I want to change the size of the text in the comment box, it is microscopic.

I've been to the .css file, I've looked and there is nothing to change the font size. I've tried adding in code, and it still wont change it. Some advice would be great please.

Sam Burdge 06.14.09 / 2pm

Hi
Thanks for the great plugin!
I am having a bit of a problem getting it working though.

When a user is logged in it works fine, but when an un-registered user tries to submit a comment the page redirects to s=search.

I realised that this is a clash with the Simple CAPTCHA plugin by Zorex

If I find a solution to get them working together I will let you know, or if anyone has already found a solution please enlighten me!

Many thanks

Hi, I'm running wordpress 2.7.1 and WP Wall 1.5.
Once I submit a message, I go to the page wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php, where all the recent comments are shown.

The other problem (probably related to this one) is that the next & previous buttons aren't working anymore.

Can anyone help me out?

@Vladimir: your wordpress site is generating a duplicate Mime header when sending the new comment notifications:

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION Duplicate header field: "MIME-Version"

it generates emails like:
MIME-Version: 1.0
MIME-Version: 1.0

Is there a way to reduce the open space between the comments? Tried to change it in the .css, but didn't help anything.

Thanks for a great plugin!
Kelly-Lynne 06.06.09 / 6pm

to change the title to an image, I used the "Add Text" widget native to WordPress. I added HTML to display an image and then left the title line blank on my WP Wall widget. This seems to work for most widgets too. little janky, but effective if you don't have time to modify code.

After I ran the automatic upgrade, the sidebar of my WP template moved below the main posts page. Could someone tell me which file changed? I tried to restore the last version, but it doesn't work. OH, this only happends with users with administrator roll.
d 05.27.09 / 10am

hi,

i was wondering if there was any way to replace the title field of the plugin with an image?

e.g. displaying a picture instead of having "wall" (or whatever) written on the top of the plugin.

thanks a lot in advance!!!
Shawn 05.27.09 / 9am

hi,

May I know if there is a way to place a 'Link' field in the widget so that the users can leave their links? Currently the only way they can do so is to go to the guestbook page to leave a comment with their links.
Vladimir 05.26.09 / 1pm

Version 1.5 out!
Michelle 05.13.09 / 7pm

To get the comments not showing in "get recent comments": create a new post and post category specific to the Wall. On the Wall settings page, change the Wall's page ID to the ID of the post you just created. Now filter that post's category out of the "get recent comments" widget.

You'll have to deal with the Wall archive being on a post instead of a page, but that seems easier to work around than figuring out how to filter a page's comments. :)

NOTE: doing this will disassociate all your previous Wall comments so they no longer appear anywhere. To fix this, install the "move comments" plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/move-comments/ . This can be a bit labor-intensive as there's no "select all" checkbox in the Move Comments plugin, but a quick bit of coding could probably fix that.

I think I'm missing something. I have installed the Plugin and was easily able to get the Widget to work. Although my Wall Archive Page was created, it's not displaying anything. Do I need to put any tags in the page? (I left it set to page 45 or whatever, and again the page was created as a draft, although when I preview it or publish it, it only displays the standard information about it being a Wall Archive).

Bruce 03.26.09 / 6am

Your welcome, Naomi.

I was looking at your WP-Wall and it looks off centered. It seems to be align left. You can easily center it, if you're using WP-Wall PHP code instead of the widget. Just wrap the HTML center tags around WP-Wall code and you're done. Otherwise, if you're ok with the Wall align left, then leave it, as is.

P.S. I hope you're not being attacked by the spambots.
Naomi 03.26.09 / 2am

Thanks Bruce!!
It worked! Finally! After I tried like dozen times (since I couldn't find the post code I just tried to put it after each div or whatever until it finally worked - dumb me hahaha)

- the link is not clickable
- even if you copy the link, there is a space between the : and the // of the link.

in wp wall's options I have: allow HTML and make links clickable, what else could I check? the live shoutbox is here, go check the links psoted there: http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu

Subject: Curb Spam

For those whom stop using using WP-Wall (or giving up) because of massive spam. This plugin might be your answer. Currently, I'm using: Math-Comment-Spam-Protection at http://swguide.de/wordpress/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection. This plugin will slow down or perhaps stop spambots from overloading your host server, by displaying math questions, when someone or something comments. An example is at jokerpokerblog.com

I've been using it for a couple of days now and haven't got any spam yet. Now, I'm thinking about allowing (activating under WP-Wall general options) comments back onto my Wall. Although, I disable new comments,but, I was still getting few spam, every other day. And I had to put ru. (russia) on my WP Discusion Black List. But after activating MCSP plugin, the spambots have been on the down low (DL).

Now, Hopefully you won't have to delete a lot of spam from you Askimet queue.
Bruce 03.23.09 / 1am

Subject: Color of the text of the comments

I was able to change the color text of day and time only, using colorcode:#660000 (it's a maroon color.) An example is at jokerpokerblog.com. What I do is, go to the original WP-Wall.zip file you downloaded (hopefully you saved it.) Open it, you'll see a wp-wall.css (it has a picture of a gear on it.) Right click on it, to open it. I open mines with Wordpad. Scroll down and you'll see #wallcomments. Now, just type in color: #660000 As seen in the example below. As you can see, I was able to change the width and background color...with other codes below. You can choose any color you want. You don't have to use color: #660000. Now save.

You're not done yet. Deactivate your live WP-Wall plugin. Now, go to your FTP. I'm using Filezilla. Delete your original WP-Wall.css. Now, go back to WP-Wall.css, that you edited and saved. Now, copy and paste, replace the WP-Wall.css you deleted from your FTP. Now activate your plugin. Clear your cache if your using any. Congratulatons! Your WP-Wall is unique. Remember to save your WP-Wall.css, edited file, because everytime you upgrade, you'll loose your orginal custom WP-Wall.css. Now, you know how to replace it.

#wallcomments {

overflow: auto;

/* uncomment this for fixed height
height: 200px;
*/

/* uncomment this for border around the wall
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding: 7px;
*/

border: 1px solid #cccccc;

background:#EFEFD1;

Hi Eyrex,

You probably want to check your "Discussion Settings" in you WP Admin. panel. Scroll down to "other comments settings" and tick the box to "[newer] comments to the top of each page." Don't forget to save changes and clear your WP cache if you're using one.

Soulfulbloom 02.20.09 / 1am

Hi Dan, I found this snippet, whereas you can add recent comments to your sidewall. This is not a plugin. This could be an slight alternative to those who can't use the WP Wall. Heres the link:

Dan 02.19.09 / 6am

Same here with Russian spammers. Got many subscribers with Russian emails and kind of got afraid they'd hack the site.

Furthermore, according to my hosting copany, WP-Wall's scripts were slowing down the whole server ... They gave me a warning, I disabled the plugin.

What a pity - and I'm still wondering why suddenly so many Russians wanted to take part in my site ...
Soulfulbloom 02.19.09 / 6am

Hello all, like many other users of this plugin, I too had trouble sending comments to my WP Wall Guestbook Page. It's too bad the author didn't give us some helpful ideas or links for page modification.

I think the problem started with my blog template. It originally didn't come with a page category on my sidebar. Every time I build a page and click the box to show comments, nothing would happen.

But after hours of painstakingly searching on google, found this website that solve my problem.

http://www.breakitdownblog.com/enabling-comments-on-every-wordpress-page/

I use (copy/paste) the snippet just above my footer tag in my page.php or page template. Now my comments appear in my guestbook page and all my other pages too.

Beware of the Russian spam bots. I've disable my WP Wall comment box. A guest would now click on the guestbook link in order to leave a comment, with the option of a math quiz. After moderating the comments, the guess comments will now appear on the WP Wall. It's kinda of like going in reverse.

I just get tired of deleting spam caught in my queue from my Askimet spam catcher. The WP Wall desperately needs to be upgraded with a math quiz. The spam bots can still spam you without leaving e-mail, even though it's probably fake too.

You can see my WP Wall at jokerpokerblog.com

P.S. I hope this has been helpful, because building blog/website can bee frustrating at times. Now exhale. :-)

Any hints?

For some reason, this widget does not end up in the $wp_registered_widgets variable.
The reason I mention it is because I'm trying to get it to work with the tabbed-widget plugin:

Nevermind, I figured out the problem - comments were set to undergo moderation. Enabling all comments allowed everything to work. You should probably display a different error message in such a case.
Ido Schacham 01.31.09 / 2pm

Hi,

I installed the plugin and got the error "An error occurred, please notify the administrator". Tried to change file and directory permissions, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Are there other issues which may cause this error? Note I tried to leave a comment in Hebrew and that I'm using the Hebrew version of WordPress 2.7.

Thanks,

Ido

I've just updated to v1.4 and ran into a problem. Whenever I click on next page I get this "A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again." This also happens when I tried to submit a new comment but the new comment do get posted.

I've tried changing chmod of my plugin folder as well as deactivating all other plugins but I still get the same message.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

the only activity is the page (with wp-wall on the side)

ive changed refresh to 120sec but will now close the page when away for extended time

Thank you very much if it's possible, and of course, in any case :

Nate & Vlad (and anyone else having problems with spaces in URLs)

I've cracked it.

It's nothing to do with css styles or text alignment. If you have altered the Wordwrap entry (default: 0) then restore it to the default. Problem should be solved.

You may then get a problem with long words disappearing off the right hand side and/or an unsightly scrollbar appearing at the bottom
(CSS could be your friend here...) though in our testing we couldn't find an English word long enough to provoke this (even 'antidisestablishmentaienism' fit!).

For the links problem, I wonder if your theme is setting

Thank you very much for this great plugin!

A small suggestion though, it will be nice if the all of the names of the class used in the CSS file start with wall. For now there is a class named "nav". The name is often used in many themes. It took me quite a while to figure out this was the cause of the wrong looking of my navigation bar. @_@

Anyway, thanks again for the plugin!
Tim Reader 12.16.08 / 10am

Hi Vlad,

Apologies - it seems to have been mentioned before in the comments/forums but not acknowledged. Maybe it's not universal.

Anyway, what happens on our site (it's internal so can't send you the link I'm afraid) is if I post this on the wall:

Check out this page about the norovirus: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7783099.stm

The link will output like this:
http://news.bbc.co.u k/1/hi/health/778309 9.stm

Note the random spaces which mean the link breaks when pasted into an address bar.
Note: it does not get written to the database this way (the database entry is in tact, it's only the outputting to the screen - to the wall - where it adds the spaces)

Originally I thought this error only happened when html/linking is enabled. So I disabled it but it still breaks.

Running current versions of WordPress and this plugin.
Any other info you might need?

Thanks!

Tim

Tidus97 12.01.08 / 11am

hi, i am using this on my site at http://noobtopro.net. you need to register and click on the logout/profile button to lower the top which reveals the wp-wall. you must be logged in.

i have edited wp-wall-widget.php so that the parts under leave a reply, excluding 'leave a reply' are in another div. i dont know if that is the reason to my problems but i find that this only works in firefox. in IE the next/previous buttons dont work, and i cant close the reply box when i click 'leave a reply'. its just open by default. clicking next/prev/leave a reply just does nothing.

also, as discribed on the post below, doing anything that would cause it to have a reaction takes me to a new page...

posting a message takes me to

wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php

which lists all the messages...

leaving the box empty takes me to

wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php again

and says 'Error: please type a comment.' in chrome where as in firefox it just says this under the comment input box..(IE doesnt do either, it just takes me to a HTTP 500 as it attempts to reach wp-wall-ajax.php)

..very problematic. this looked good too...

Not sure you saw my new message on the forum but I'm still having problems with links.

2. Links are clickable in IE7 when you use the "www" but NOT in Firefox 3.

3. Links should open in a new window.

Pierre-Marie 11.07.08 / 7am

Hi,

first of all thank you for a very nice plugin. I did not publish the website url since it is for a group of young chess players.

I want them to be able to use the Wall as a chat room to tell each other when it is their turn to play. We are using the chess-by-blog plugin and in order to take turn the players have to do a reload.

The problem is that they often use the same expression and they cannot create duplicates.

Is there a way to allow for duplicate comments on the Wall?

Thank you

And also wanted to embed this entirely in a page instead of the sidebar, but that doesnt work with the php tag. How can I do that?

Vladimir 10.28.08 / 12am

@Harvey - I welcome all over 40's guys here. Adding a link would be a matter of changing the wp-wall-widget.php which you can do yourself if you are brave enough :)
@Harvey - I once suggested using a recent comments plugin which lets you exclude posts. I think you can find it here in the wall comments or in the wall section of the forum
@hanajima - It would be possible but including the avatar support in a plugin like this means much more like new options for people who do not like it, separate formatting and styling etc so that's why it's unlikely I'll manage it soon.
Harvey 10.27.08 / 9pm

Feature suggestion: My site visitors are mostly "over 40's" (like me), most of whom have no clue what a wall is.

it would be nice if we could add a little question mark image beside the Wall title with either a hovertip, or perhaps a larger visual lightbox that would contain an editable (by the Blog Admin) explanation of what a wall is and how to use it.

Just a thought. The Internet really is used by oldsters nowadays too (but we still don't get Facebook ;-)
dwayne 10.25.08 / 6pm

Finally figured out a way to reverse the post order...this should be an editable option on the options page!

(i wanted it to be the same as the way comments appeared)

Do this:

change all the DESC in the plugin editor to ASC

(descending order vs. ascending)

maybe this will be a selectable option later...?

(awesome plugin!)

Essentially...i want it to be a page, and not a widget.
Peter 10.23.08 / 11pm

Hi,

Forst of all, great plugin!!!

1. Is it possible to get a property to set the sortorder for the link "All" when showing all postings on the wall?

2. It would be nice to have a field to name the link "All" to get the link in native language

3. Also for the label "Latest on " the same as for (2) a property to set that text in native language.

hi... i want to know if there is a way to show gravatars on the wall itself and not on the wall page only
hanajima 10.22.08 / 5am

ok let me rephrase that ---

i want to know if there is a way that gravatar images can show up on the wall itself, not on the guestbook page.
Mitchell 10.19.08 / 12pm

Hey,
This is really a great plugin, altough I am having a trouble with something. When you make a chatbox out of it, it uses ajax to reload the page, but now I'm trying too use my own "tooltip" and in the beginning it works fine, but when the chabox reloads, the script is gone.

Not sure how I could make this work. (I use Jquery.)

Thanks in advance,
Mitchell

I keep finding things I like in WP-Wall :-)

I just found the easy-to-edit CSS file (needs to be easy for me!) that enables me to shade every other line and put a nice, understated-yet-clear 1px box around the wall to help clean up my sidebar.

Well done!

The “All” Link (WP Wall Guestbook) page, once published, won’t show the wall entries. Page is configured to show comments; theme can show comments.

Any ideas?
Harvey 10.14.08 / 9pm

I just added WP-Wall to my site and love it!

One question - I also place Recent Comments in my sidebar. Unfortunately, the WP-Wall comments are therefore repeated under Recent Comments. Can you suggest a way of removing just the WP-Wall comments from the Recent Comments list (since the Wall comments now show up twice)?

Would it be possible to see the actual date/time when someone has post a message in the box? Also if every second row can be in another color like Paula explained and as Cbox works.

hello is there possible to display the avatar ?
Paula 10.10.08 / 7am

Thank-you for sharing your plugin, it's great. Stop by my blog and take a look at how I customized it. I was wondering if it's possible to include the date in the actual message of each message left. I'm not sure how to explain it good, but if you go to the cbox website, it will show how they include the date in each message. Here is their site: http://www.cbox.ws/index.php

I was also wondering how to make the author names look the same way when I'm logged in as Admin as when I'm logged out. When I'm logged in, the names appear as all of my clickable links on the site, and I'd like them to match what visitors see.

Michael
Mark Fleming 10.04.08 / 3pm

Great plugin! Suggestions:

1. Allow configuration for size of coment entry box.

2. Instead of hovering to see all, click a "see entire comment" button to show the whole comment in place. If you do Ajax, just show the whole comment in place and slide down the rest of the column. If you don't do Ajax, some other way to show the whole comment. It's a bit difficult to read the whole comment in the little hover box, and I'm not sure everyone will figure that out.

3. Set max comment length (not what shows, but what can be entered), if possible.

4. Ability to show a link to a "Rules" page, so I can tell them the number of words that will show up, what type of comments we want/don't want, etc. Here's how I would do it: Add option "Link to Rules Page Y/N" and "Rules Page Name ______" So if I said "Y" to the Rules page, and entered the name (or page number) of the rules page I would create, then below the "Write something..." (or whatever I name that link) there would be a link that says "Read Rules". Clicking on Read Rules will then show the Rules page I've created.

Petelingo 09.30.08 / 2pm

Hmm...This plugin doesn't seem to work for me at all. Perhaps it's a config issue with my installation but whenever I submit a comment WP simply opens an entirely new page pointing at <mysite/wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php.

The comment text is visible but it seems to break free from the wall.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Peter 09.29.08 / 3pm

The Wall is a nice plugin. I have found that the "Latest on" label does not refresh/update when posting. You must refresh the whole page to update the label. Nice plugin other from that :-)
Vladimir 09.29.08 / 3pm

It works on this and many other sites so you really need to provide additional information about the problem, more the better, and best if you use the forum.

Hi,
The Wall plugin is a great plugin. I think I have found a bug when posting a new "wall post", the list of posts are correctly updated but the "Latest on ...." label with date and clock does not update, you need to refresh the whole page to update the label.

I have several questions.

1. How do I expand the reply box? Right now, it's smaller in width compared to the Wall box itself. I would like to expand the reply box to the same size as the Wall box.

2. I would like to have the reply box open as default rather than having to click the Leave a reply link. How would I go about doing this?

3. I would like the change some wordings but when I try to change the codes in the PHP files, the output gets all jibberish for 2 byte character sets (non-English). I would I go about making it UTF-8 compatible? (BTW, the input text comes out just fine)

Thanks for a chat box! :)
Jitske 09.16.08 / 7pm

Q: where can I change the color of the text?
I have tried several colors in the css file, however it does not seem to work. My site is black and uses a theme and black letters are none readable (obvious :)) when looking at the wall page same issue is that comments are in black letters.

Loved if it worked to my needs because it is a great plugin.

even if he just wrote: test. Same goes for guests, only me as a moderator can write to the shoutbox. settigns are:

It creates a draft page in your blog under which all comments are stored.

when someone clicks on "all" on my wall post, he is then directed to this page that does not show the comments at all. is it becoz currently i jus have 1 msg on my wall, or is it something else?

also on the page, i would like to list down all the msgs, how can i go abt doing that?

2008 Plugin Competition Review, Part 2 of 2 « planetOzh 08.08.08 / 4pm

[...] WP Wall adds a commenting “wall”, just like in your sister’s Facebook profile Yet another plugin from Vladimir Prelovac who appears to be running something like 285 plugins in this competition. Regarding the plugin code, same comments as from previous Vladimir’s plugins apply (read for instance my thoughts on Live Blogroll). This wall uses the commenting system to handle replies: that means that spam, moderation and managing in general will be done by WP and any Comment plugin you may run, which is a smart choice. Walls are an easy target for abuse and spam, so you’d better not try to re-invent the wheel here. If I had to use a Wall plugin, or when asked about one, I’ll head to this plugin. [...]

Hi Vladimir,

I am sorry that parts of my previous post seem to link to random nothingness. I added example markup in my comment that got converted to actual links when it was posted. I was going for clarity, but inadvertently made my point more confusing.
What I was trying to say is: is there anyway for users to post active links onto the wall.
Sorry for the confusion :(

Ana 08.02.08 / 12am

Hi Vladimir,

Absolutely love your plugin!! Very elegant and easy to use.
Just one question: it seems that if a link tag is entered in the comment box (jkkj.yy) something is deactivating the link when posting to the wall. If I mouse-over something that was entered as a link, I see that rel="nofollow" has been added to the anchor tag.
Is there anyway to adjust for this?
Also, an even better solution would be to have The Wall recognize anything that is in link format, i.e. http://www.ddd.yy, as a link and create the tag automatically.
However.... just allowing for user-entered active links would make me happy.

Again, thank you for this fabulous plugin!

My firebug does not report the problem you mention but reports some other problems, probably caused by the php speedy plugin you are using.

hi there. this plugin is still giving me errors in firebug (using firefox 2) could you maybe check out the simple implementation on the site I gave in my profile?

here is one of the errors:

Hi,
I just want to drop a note to say thanks to your plugin. Its fantastic.

I have a few ideas that I thought it would be cool to see in future versions:

It wold be cool to have a the wall display their gravatar beside each comments. This would, naturally require an additional field to take in their email address. Since wordpress now has gravatar, it would be cool to have it. Also, I think it would be neat if we can see the date/time of post when we do a mouse over or something like that.
Ryan 07.19.08 / 10pm

Hi Vladimir--love the plugin, but I wanted to know if it's possible to change the date and time format that appears when you hover over entries. Right now the date/time shows up in 24 hour format. Is it possible to somehow change that to 12-hour format with AM & PM?

How can I have the date of the latest post in spanish format? Where can I change months?
Maarten 07.15.08 / 8pm

Hi there,
I found out that the default template (kubrick) doesn't display comments on pages (at least in my installation (I use WP 2.5.1))

I used this template as baseline for creating my own.

Here is how to fix the problem:
Just open page.php from your template and add this line of code:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

You should put it just in front of some line that looks like this:

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

Now go to the page and edit it, it will show the comments!

Regards,
Maarten
Vladimir 07.15.08 / 8pm

There is nothing special to it. If you can see comments on the wall, the comments are coming from that page.
Maarten 07.15.08 / 7pm

@Fadi, That is what I mean. My page doens't show the comments, while I have enabled commenting on pages...
fadi 07.15.08 / 7pm

I've added the plugin, which is a great plugin. I also published the archives/guestbook page but it shows no comments as if they are disabled. The comments are enabled in the manage page screen. Any ideas?

I installed your plugin, and its working. I got one little problem with the archive-page... it's not showing any entries. What code do I need to enter in it? Or does it need to have a certain title?

Thanks Vladimir.
Vladimir 07.13.08 / 8pm

Lee: Box hides on purpose to take less space when not used.

Brian: The excessive load reported is very suspicious. The file in question does nothing other the store a comment to WordPress the same way WordPress does. And it's working perfectly on many other sites.
Lee Potts 07.13.08 / 4pm

Great Plugin, thanks!

For some reason the comment box and text input box disappears while the page is rendering. Any reason why this might be happening?
Brian 07.13.08 / 3pm

I installed WP Wall and two days later my site was crashing and returning database errors. I contacted my hosting company and this is what they said:

"Thank you for contacting hosting support. Our Server Admins have discovered the source of the latency on your hosting server is due to a script (in your account) /wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php. The script is causing excessive load on the server, so we have disabled it. Once the script was disabled, the site began to respond normally. Please note if you choose to reinstate the script and it causes high loads, the account may face suspension"

Is this a known issue? My wall doesn't work now since they disabled the script and I don't want to reinstate it and face suspension..

Thanks.

Hi, same problem as Stevie and Ross with timestamp (Warning: Division by zero) otherwise great, thanks.
StevieD 07.11.08 / 8am

Hi Vladimir:
I'm getting the same issue as Ross so I have had to disable the time stamp feature. It states that the:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/pmyviqtp/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall.php on line 95
Ross 07.11.08 / 5am

Vladimir, in v.8 the timestamp feature creates a division by zero warning. If I don't use the timestamp feature, all is well. Right now I'm not using the timestamp. Don't really need it anyway. But if you want me to put it back in so you can see what it does, I will.

What can I add to get 2 different ALT comment colors, instead of using one as my default CSS theme color?

I tried editing the CSS and the wp-wall.php file, but can't seem to get the right function. I imagine it's in the "oddcomment" section of the php file, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the help.

ovidiu 07.08.08 / 10am

oh, and what about adding a feature as this plugin offers? http://code.google.com/p/comment-highlighter/

I use that plugin to highlight my comments. the plugin needs me to modify my comments template, and I could certainly change your plugin to also use this plugin to give a special class for a comment if it is made by the admin or a guest or a registered user but you could already incorporate something like that, right?
BEsides here is another similar plugin: http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2008/01/new-wordpress-plugin-bm-comment-highlight/
ovidiu 07.08.08 / 10am

wonderful :-) thx a lot.

would it be hard, to change the plugin so I could decide weather I want those paging arrows displayed or not? I mean if I allow to display i.e. last 30 comments on teh wall, and have it scroll, I don't really need those paging arrows anymore.

of course I can just use display: none with that element...
Vladimir 07.08.08 / 10am

You need to add height attribute to #wallcomments not wp_wall
ovidiu 07.08.08 / 9am

:-) I could need some help, getting this widgets output to scroll. you can see my first tries if you click on my name.
ovidiu 07.08.08 / 9am

hello Vladimir,
can I have an option so that the comment box that appears when I click on reply now stays permanently visible?
I managed to give the wall a permanent height, but when I click on reply now, that box, just overlaps the fixed width and hangs down over the next widget in my sidebar, so I'd prefer for it to stay permanently on if that would be possible.

Vladimir 07.08.08 / 2am

Announcements, nice idea.

Well it is actually dynamic and if you turn on refresh time in options it becomes (almost) real-time as well. But this is an option I'll consider for future versions.
tapirul 07.08.08 / 1am

for me at least it would be better if the new comments are added at the bottom not at the top...Since it's not really a shoutbox (dynamic and real-time), it is easier to read comments from top to bottom (as we read a book)in their chronological order.
Just a thought. Great plugin. Can be used for announcements, if you restrict posting to registered users (and the admin is the only registered user, as it happens on my blog)
Vladimir 07.07.08 / 11pm

Version 0.7 is out:
- Tweaked the wall in non-widget mode
- More styling options: comments have class numbers now to paint them like you want
- Made the code xHTML valid
- Option to show all comments (publish the Wall!)
Vladimir 07.07.08 / 11pm

edolouz: It is possible only by changing the code but I ma not sure this would be the feature everyone would like. The whole purpose of wall is to be minimalistic to fit into an average sidebar. The comments are still shown when you hover the mouse over the comment author name

ovidou: instant delete by admin means when you are logged in you can delete comments by clicking on the author name. You can edit the CSS to make the plugin fixed height and enable to show like 999 comments. And please update to latest version of WP wall you have pretty old one.

jeanc: upgrade WP Wall :)

deen: new version of WP Wall allows styling of each comment row :)

boris: try with version 0.7 please and let me know.

Hello Vladimir,

looks like you've got a winner here! I'm well impressed with the plugin. Been meaning to give it a go for a while now and finally got to it. I am not using any sidebars on my site, so I used the php code and got these warnings:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for WPWall_Widget(), called in D:\xampp\htdocs\traveljunkie\travelogues\wp-content\themes\traveljunkie\home.php on line 116 and defined in D:\xampp\htdocs\traveljunkie\travelogues\wp-content\plugins\wp-wall\wp-wall.php on line 66

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in D:\xampp\htdocs\traveljunkie\travelogues\wp-content\plugins\wp-wall\wp-wall.php on line 71

The wall still works as advertised. Any way to get rid of that?
Cheers,
Boris
Deen 07.07.08 / 12pm

Hello,

How can I make the wall so that the white text box area where the coment is typed is by default showing?

Also, so that the area where each coment is left is different? For example, if I leave a comment then the bg of it is for example yellow, then the next person who leaves a comment, the bgcolor is orange, then the next person who leaves a comment, there's is yellow... so it's easier to see the difference in comments. Sorry I am not too good with css etc.

Finally, the date on the comments.

Kind regards, thanks.
jeanc 07.07.08 / 12pm

oh, and your plugin seems to break XHTML compatibility here is an excerpt:

Line 285, Column 60: required attribute "cols" not specified .

✉

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for and type="text/javascript" for .
ovidiu 07.07.08 / 10am

ok, I am testing this plugin here: http://pacura.ru you can see it in the right sidebar.

@vladimir: what do you mean by "Instant delete for admin" ?
you think you can get your plugin to allow a fixed width, so users can scroll down for older comments instead of relying only on your navigational/paging arrows on top of the shoutbox?
edoluz 07.07.08 / 9am

The plugin is not preventing spam, Akismet is. In your text there are no links so it's not actually spam. Everything that would pass as a comment on your blog will pass also WP Wall and vice-versa.

i am using a capthca plugin, so what would i need to do to the widget file?

Vladimir 07.05.08 / 12am

gabby: you are probably using a plugin that adds captcha to comments or some other check. You would need to edit wp-wall-widget.php to include these fields to the wp wall form. Or disable it and use akismet :)
Vladimir 07.05.08 / 12am

Brad: you can delete comments from within your WordPress administration panel Just go to Comments. WP Wall comments are treated the same way as usual comments.

The issue with "shooting up to top" will be addressed in next update.

gabby: you do not need extra plugin. wordpress has built in support for smilyes: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies and its working on wp-wall

gabby 07.04.08 / 11pm

a little strip of clickable smilies right above the comment box would be nice. is there any way i can integrateit myself or is there a plugin that will do this?
Brad 07.04.08 / 10pm

Ok, 1 issue.

When someone clicks on the "Leave a Reply" button, it shoots them to the top of the window. What would I put in the "a href" tag to link down to a spot in my sidebar where the Wall plugin is placed?

Also, for those who are interested in deleting certain comments from your Wall form, read on.

*Firstly, I have to remind you that backing up your database(s) is crucial in case of preventing errors. Also, it's a good idea to make regular backups of your theme files as well your plugin folder.

**If you have no experience editing database files, then I recommend not messing with them at all. Seriously.

Here's how:
1. Access your MySQL database for your WordPress installation.
2. Find the table called "Comments".
3. Find the comment entries you want to delete and do it.

The comments for each entry are near the end of the tables, in text, as they are written on your blog. That's it.

look at the right side. its the tagboard widget implemented.
Vladimir 07.04.08 / 11am

1. Change the refresh time to 5 sec. That should be enough.

2. I solved it by not entering it into the comment data

I am happy to include all cool features you may think of :)
ovidiu 07.04.08 / 8am

also I just commented, then clicked: reply again, and my last comment was still in the form, had to delete my old comment text to write the new one.
Also what happens when I type a really long word in?
does it scroll if I set it to show i.e. 25 comments?
can you checkout the link to the plugin I gave above? it has awesome features, but its author seems to have given up on it :-(

I really need at least one good working shoutbox.
ovidiu 07.04.08 / 8am

hello,
I would really like to use your plugin instead of continuing to use the tagboard widget (http://freepressblog.org/wordpress-plugins-2/wordpress-tagboard-plugin-widget/) plugin which hasn't been maintained in quite a while, but I have 2 questions:

how do I change it into a shoutbox/chat? by setting the refresh interval to 0 sec?

how did you solve the problem with the commenters email address? usually you have to enter an email address, now doing that in a chat/shoutbox is cumbersome, I know the other plugins had probs with that.
