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
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)

Hi! My name is 
422 Comments
Vladimir,
I am going to use this plugin on a client site, and they are concerned about link spam. Is there a way to only blacklist comments with links in them for just the wall, and not the entire site. Or maybe refuse to post if it contains a link, or.. maybe you might have some other idea? Thanks.
jsut checked my site with a speed loading tool and it advised me that there are no sizes specified for the right.png and left.png could you implement this in the next version please?
two ythings...
how do you urn off the captiva for non registered users to post a comment?
also, since it wasnt working (captive image didnt show when a user posed a comment) i have two comments sitting in my comment area pending approval...where do i go to delete those? they arent in drafts or pending comments any place....
little help? thank you

Hi
Can you please get it it gettexted so that I can translate the plugin into my language?
S.K
Hi Vladimir,
I have been a happily using of WP-WALL for about a year now.
Sadly I have been forced to rebuild my blog and I would like to recover my existing comments.
Its a fresh install of WP and a clean Database.
I installed and activated wp-wall.
I then with phpMyAdmin IMPORTED the comments into wp_comments.
Sadly, the comments appear in neither the Wall or the guest book.
Any thoughts, guidance help would be very much appreciated.
thanks,
Peter
Hi, I want that wp wall will be on russian. When I write in wall something on Russian, it shows "????"
Why do it happen? I know English very bad, so can you give me answer
Has this been tested with WordPress 2.8.6? I've just upgraded and there seems to be a problem with submitting comments to the wall. The page was just refreshing to a long repeated url and not finding wp-wall-ajax.php because of it.
When I changed it to a direct link to test it (ie straight to wp-wall-ajax.php) the comment goes through but I'm shown an unstyled wall on its own page, presumably the output of wp-wall-ajax.php with nothing else. When it should refresh the current page or just the wall itself.
Any advice? Its been working great for us prior to the upgrade.
I also get the "An error occurred, please notify the administrator" problem. File permissions are correct, and admin doesn't need to approve the comments.
Any other solution to this problem?
Hi, I am completely new to Wordpress and need help with a plugin problem I encountered after uploading WP Wall.
I uploaded the WP Wall zip file through "Add New" under Plugins. When I attempted to activate it, an "Internal Server Error" message came up.
The same thing happens when I try to access "Plugins" and "Installed", but I can still access "Add New" and "Editor".
However, when I check in the plugins Editor, WP Wall is shown as inactive, as are the other two default Wordpress plugins.
Could this error be a result of uploading the WP Wall plugin or attempting to activate it?
I only have admin access to the Wordpress blog and not the domain site, but I am hoping that there is something I can do to resolve this on my own.
I have no knowledge of anything Wordpress or coding, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
"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."
This is not work. Please, help me!!!
PS. I want the messages pass through the moderation of the administrator.
Hey, when will this be working in 2.8.5 as currently it only shows comments from all of the blog and there is no area to leave a reply or even a leave a reply button.
Just a suggestion for a future enhancement. Allow for multiple instances of the WP-Wall sidebar widget. I found a work-around, but having native multiple instances would be nice. Here's why: Currently, I use two sidebars, one at a time depending on which WordPress page is being displayed. Some of the sidebar content is unique to the displayed page, and some sidebar content is universal. I'd like to have WP-Wall widget be a part of the universal content thus the need to have multiple instances of the WP-Wall widget.
Thanks.

Just noticed that multiple instances of the WP-Wall Recent Comments is also needed. And I can't find a work-around for this one.
Thanks again.
Hi, what did you do to create the work around for this?
Id love to know, as i desperately need this capability.
Here's how I did the workaround, InfoFeeder. I installed the "Executable PHP widget" plugin. Then I simply cut and pasted the line into the "Executable PHP widget". This line can be found in the readme file that comes with WPWall. As one can have multiple instances of the "Executable PHP widget," one can have multiple instances of WPWall.
I was afraid the php line would get stripped out of my message. So, let me try another way:
Here's how I did the workaround, InfoFeeder. I installed the "Executable PHP widget" plugin. Then I simply cut and pasted the "if (function_exists('WPWall_Widget')) WPWall_Widget();" line into the "Executable PHP widget". This line can be found in the readme file that comes with WPWall. Make sure you cut and paste the entire line from the readme file including the opening and closing php tags.
As one can have multiple instances of the "Executable PHP widget," one can have multiple instances of WPWall.
So does that set up its own page as well, for listing all the comments??
Or does it put all comments onto the one main page?
I did not attempt to make two separate "walls" on which to write. All I wanted was a way to access a single WPWall from more than one sidebar. Attempting to create more than one WPWall is way beyond my level of knowledge.
WPWall_GetOptions function seems to be missing. Everytime I try to post it just gives an error in the wp-wall-ajax.php file stating that the function is never defined. What file is this function supposed to be called from?
Well, i don't know that its a good fix, but I added the following code to the following file
File: wp-wall-ajax.php
Line 4 (added after line 3): require_once("wp-wall.php");
This fixes the fuction calls that are all failing after I upgraded WPWall plugin on mysite. Hope this isn't a problem in the next update... tired of fixing plugin codes that break on updates. Special thanks to http://sm-wordpress.com/ group for its support in this process.
i have been using WP-Wall for a few months. Recently my hosting has been suspending my domain because of my site is using too much CPU resources and overload the server. The image file that they send me shows that Wp-Wall was on the list.
I have turn off the interactive feature by setting it to 0 but it seems that it didn't work as I just got another suspension.
i use latest update of wp-wall with wp 2.6.1 , so i got
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall.php:1) in wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 770"
what should i do, please help
Hi, just update. the cause of problem is plug-in online upgrade of WP, it replace the wp-wall.php file while it's running, so on that file have junk character at begin of file. just delete them.
This plugin is broken and does not display results to the automatically generated page, which also keeps regenerating itself regardless of whether you try to use your own unique page ID.
hey i dont understand. how do i add wp wall to my sidebar? i've already downloaded it but i'm stuck here.
thanks!
*this email is the correct one* sorry about it.

Sorry, I mean in your Admin Settings - Discussion uncheck: An administrator must always approve the comment .
I cheered to soon, the error keeps comming back :( Sadly I have to disable the shoutbox...
Hello Vladimir
Thanks for this great shoutbox !
I got it finally working because I also had the "An error occurred, please notify the administrator."
message. Permission where ok but still the error.
If there are more users with still the same problem then before you disable all your plugins (I had none)
check in your admin settings - writing if all comments need admin approval. Mine was checked but after uncheck the shoutbox works without the error message.
Vladimir, maybe you could add this to your FAQ ?
In your FAQ about WP-Wall you answer this question:
"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."
When I installed WP Wall there was no WP Wall page in my drafts nor was there a WP Wall Archive. I am still using the widget, but I would like to display ALL comments on one page, not just 25. Is this possible? If not, how do I create numbered pagination at the end of each chunk of 25 comments (like you have done here - <>)?
Thank you in advance for your help!
It looks like the avatar doesn't default to the local generic avatar if there's no gravatar found like other plugins, how can I modify the plugin so it uses my custom default avatar?
Disregard my question. I figured it out. Just didn't have email on by default! Silly me! Great plugin!
I like the wall but comment text is in white same as my background and cant read comments. Went to editor css but need color codes and location advise
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.
I've CHMOD all the files and folders to 755. It didn't work. Tried 777 and i'm still getting the same error whenever someone tries to post.
hi
i uploaded to my newly installed wp blog. however the background is same color as the fonts in the text.
where can i change this? i cant find the css folder.
appreciate help - thanks in advance
Yeah, me too. It's a very sad error message and i'm the admin so I should be able to correct it... but how? =(
sorry.. I meant I also keep getting "An error occurred, please notify the administrator." and i changed the datebase to 755.
I would really like to get this feature working. Please help.
Thanks.

Comments are not appearing on the supposed to be wall archived, page id is 86, on settings its set to 86 no comments are showing
Hi Vladimir,
Are you interested on translating the plug-in into different languages?
If that is the case I can do the Spanish one...
Great plug-in by the way!

Hello Vladimir
thank you for this awesome plugin. I just installed it and loved it ...but...
there is a big (_|_) in here. Although I have changed the refresh time in 5 seconds
it doesn't work as shoutbox/chat and everything must be approved by me!... which this is what I want to avoid
because I can't be 24/7 in fronf of my mac.
Any ideas?
thank you Vladimir
Try Simple Ajax Shoutbox plugin. It works!
Hi! I think it's a great and very usefull plugin :) I'm using this already, but I hae one question. Is there any option to put something like a counter of comments / entries?
with kind regards,
Irena
One day the plugin just decided to start a fresh page for it, eradicating all the past comments - is there a reason why, and can I fix it? In other words, can I point the wall to display comments on a specific page? Many many thanks
Yes you can enter the Wall Page ID in the plugin settings. Here you would enter the page id of the old wall page.
Same problem for me after upgrade to 1.6
how do you stop it from going to wp-wall-ajax.php i dont want that when they click submit i want it to just submit and be posted. in the side bar
Same here, wp-wall-ajax.php is popping out. I have WP 2.8.4. Please help!
Hey man, i love your plug in, too bad I cant use it. Not because it doesn't work, but because when i have it active, spambots attack my site constantly. Sure, i have Askimet and it block those nasty spam comments, but there are SO many of those comments, it makes my site crash eventually. I would love to use this plug in, but for the sake of my site, I cant. The only way I could think that might get rid of those annoying spambots is to add a captcha fuction to it, but since im no programmer, I dont know if its possible, or if there is any other plug in out there that might help me with that... anyway, just an honest suggestion, trying to give you some ideas you might wanna consider.
Thanks a lot for your plug-in an all your hardwork!
You could also check the option that only registered users can leave comment on the wall.
the new upgrade for the plugin made it work finally on my page. Thanks.
Added gravatar support in v1.6
I've used your plugin before and it's great!
Questions:
1) Is there a way to "prune" older comments from the WP-Wall page? Eventually there will be some many, I'd like to trim it down occasionally.
2) Do you think I'd be able to create an input format that is title and link fields, so when someone entered a link and it's title, it shows up in the wall as a hyperlink?
1) yes wall comments appear as normal comments so you can delete them normally
2) wp wall can already turn urls into clickable links
its not working for me. when a comment is submitted it says "An error occurred, please notify the administrator." any chance in getting help?
Is there a way to make this plugin work with the math comment spam plugin?
Thanks for the great plugin! But somehow it doesn't work in IE7. I get a big blank area.
Works perfect in Firefox.
I'm looking for a way to style the site owners comment differently from all others. I am the site admin, but the owner only has editor rights. This is a wpmu site and the individual blog owners will never have admin rights. Regardless, I could see a time when I would want to single out even more than one logged in editor too. Like on a fictitious site MikeAndSuzy.mydomain.com, Mike has a blue background for his comments and Suzy has a pink background on hers. The best way I can see is to add a class like wall-editor-mike and wall-editor-suzy, but how could I do that?
You already have a class wall-admin added to admin comments so just add styling
As I said in my question, he's not an admin. Plus, it still doesn't take care of my desire to have a different styling for different people. wall-admin is just one class for any admin who comments. At the least, I need a wall-editor since that is what he is (not an admin), but preferably I need a wall-admin-username and wall-editor-username in order to achieve what I want. I know it's not already in the plugin, but I'd like to add it if someone could tell me how. Wordpress comments already do this. The li for the comment has a class editor-username which is perfect.
Vladimir,
I'm wondering if you can use the WP Wall plugin on a "page" instead of as a "widget" in the sidebar? I'd like to create a Page on my blog where people can enter their comments/responses.
Thank you in advance for your help.

how do you stop it from going to wp-wall-ajax.php i dont want that when they click submit i want it to just sibmit and be posted.
i'm getting the same error and i've updated to v1.6.. am i missing something?
Me too, anyone know how to correct this
Hi,
when the wall reload it seems there is problem
with encoding charset.
i.e : there is a comment in russian well displaying, but after few second (plugin refreshing) the encoding goes wrong and the russian text is unreadable.
Anyway, thank for this plugin.
huhu, is this commenting system the plugin?
hey there,
2 questions: how can i change the frequency of the post limitations? Sometimes a user get the warning that he's posting comments too fast
second: how to disable the box draggin up the input field after a comment is posted? i always want to have the field displayed.
thanks and cheers
Yo Oliver,
I JUST figured out a solution for your second question :D I wanted it always visible too.
Open up wp-wall.js and comment out or delete line 34. This part ---> $("#wall_post").hide("fast");
:)
Hello,
Is it possible to hide the text input boxes when comments are disabled for non logged in visitors? I'd rather just have the link that says you must be logged in to comment. It 's confusing with the text boxes there.
Thanks.
Hello.
I have a littel problem with the plugin:
The comments will not be listed in Global commenting "Wall". Site is: http://www.svb-basketball.de/?page_id=972
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!
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.
How do we add the url link for blogs so that it can appear at the side of the comments for each individual? meaning if a's url is aaa.blogspot.com, there will be (link) with aaa.blogspot.com embedded in it with his comments. how to do it in the WP WALL?
Hi ! i would like to put gravatar with your plugin but i don't know how ! can you help me please !
sorry for my english, i'm french !
Lain.
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.
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.

Hi. Great plugin!
If I want to reverse the order of the entries in the widget it´s simple, but can I also do it on my guestbook page?
If so, how? If not, how about an update to the plugin so it can be done :)
thanks
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

Can I actually make the wp-wall shows up on pages instead of the sidebar ???
Sorry about that!
Hi,
I'm running wordpress 2.7.1 and WP-wall 1.5.

Can anyone help me with that?
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
I had the same problem with wpmu, but don't know exactly how to solve this with simple wordpress
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!
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.
Great, thanks! ^_^
I have some plugins that are used to handle how a comment is displayed. Is there a way that I can get those to work with the comments in the widget?
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.
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!!!
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.
Version 1.5 out!
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.
Hello,
I have a problem with the link "Log in to post a comment." in the widget. I use a subfolder for my blog and so the link doesn't work.
The problem is in the file wp-wall-widget.php line 30
Log in to post a comment.
it scould be without the "/" like this
Log in to post a comment.
Thank you for the great plugin... very simple and very useful...
PS: if you can add the the sentece "Log in to post a comment." in the admin panel for configure it, is better...
thanks again
how do i make the wp-wall "all" read from newest to oldest? get me:)
thanks
I am getting an "Invalid Data: Please go back and try again." error when entering text into the widget. Why is this and how do I solve it?
Hi, this plugin looks great but I use WP 2.2.3. Which version of the plugin is compatible with my version of WP? Thanks!
WP-Wall doe snot work in BuddyPress using IE. Works on all other browsers but not IE. The part that does not seem to work is the text area and button to submit a comment. They are grayed out.
why don't you just go hunting for another plugin to show recent comments? find an advanced one where you can configure which categories or pages to exclude...
From Sam: Hi. How do I configure this so that when people leave a reply, it doesn't go straight to the Recent Comments widget? I've tried everything. I don't like it when the recent comments widget which is mainly for comments made during blog posts are taken over by a shoutbox chat. Please help!
--> I have the same question. Seems like nobody can resolve this problem :( So sad...
I also want to extend the text area (where you type your comments), but I dont know how... can u help me?

Hi Ryan, I Think you're pages are not comment enable. It seems your theme probably, wasn't coded for comments on pages. Click on the breakitdownblog link for further explanation:

Anyone looking to change their wall borders? See what I did...just click on my name and see the drop shadow inset in my WP-Wall. It's colorful in Firefox but plain in I.E.7
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).
I've got the same issue as Sam. Shoutbox/chat works fine but I would like comments not to show up in the recent comments widget. Is there are way I can turn this off by editing code?

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.
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)
Thanks a lot!

Hi Naomi,
You probaly need to put this code (inside) at the bottom of your PageTemplate (page.php). Just above the footer tag. My footer tag looks like this
Use this code:
My example page: http://www.jokerpokerblog.com/wp-wall-guestbook
got some problems with the plugin. links pasted into the wall, are kidna broken. i.e. you paste the whole url, copied straight from the browser, meaning with the http stuff in front and all BUT:
- 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

http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/
Note: If not, just google: Math-Comment-Spam-Protection
After activating the plugin...you probably have to disable new comments from your WP-Wall General Options panel. Then, create a HTML link to your guestbook. Otherwise, comments may lock up, because of the math question.
Subject: Comment tricks
I see that, there's inquiring (questions) of comment editing,from a few posts. Well, I found this great link, that explains: Unraveling the Secrets of WordPress’ Comments.php File. A must see.

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.
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

How to add a separator between coments?
Thanxz
good plugin for wordpress blog. i used it and found interesting...
How do I change the color of the text of the comments?
I just found out that comment form is not working in Internet Explorer (in Firefox it's working normal). Actually input for comments its disabled. Do you know what's wrong?
Hello Soulfulbloom i tried that one but it just changes the order on the main site wiget not the page for the comments so will have to see it anything can be changed within the wp-wall.css file to swap them round
Subject: NEW AT THE TOP
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.
I've downloaded your plugin and would like to use the Wall Page however, I don't think my theme displays comments on pages. What edits need to be made to allow this? Thanks
Hello been using your great plugin for a while now but renamed as my latest news so it's easy just to post some quick text on my site but today i decided to publish the posts as a page but there in reverse order on the page with oldest at the top and i want them with new at the top so wondered is there an easy way to swap them round
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:
http://wordpressgarage.com/code-snippets/recent-comments-code-snippet/
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 ...
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 way to change this from a sidebar element into its own page?
excelent plugin, just i need :) thanks for sharing
I am just setting up this particular blog and I would very much like to use The Wall plug-in, but I am having the very same problem with comments not showing up on The Wall page. And yes, it is set to show comments on pages and is even specifically set to show comments on The Wall page...
Thank you for this plugin. It works great on Wordpress 2.7.1. No error what so ever. Sill, I wonder if it's possible to show the date and time for each comment, not only for the last one.
This plugin works really well for me, and I especially appreciate the css file. One quirk I haven't been able to figure out -- if you look at my weblog you'll see that the font spacing is off in WP Wall only. Odd breaks in the middle of words that I haven't been able to fix with css. Do you have any idea what the problem might be, and how I might fix it?
Thanks for your hard work on this.
Vincent, page comments are enabled properly, yet nothing appears. I can post a comment or shout in the widget on the sidebar but its not transferring it to the Guestbook Page. Oh well...if I can't get it working I will try something else.
Domo arigato,
Sticky Rice
Sticky Rice,
had the same "issue" awhile back and in order for the comment to appear on the page, you have to turn on the allow comment on page option.
Trying to work with this plugin. The sidebar widget is working fine, but nothing appears on the Page??
Any help would be appreciated.
I've got a problem with this one. I can write on the wall if i'm logged in, but if i'm not, then i get this message:
"An error occurred, please notify the administrator."
I have all rights to read and write in the folder, and i've tried to delete and reinstall it..
Any ideas? :S
How can I change font colour in wp-wall? Thanks...
Vladimir - you mean the server overload was related to 1.4?
So 1.4.2 shouldn't cause any problems?
write comment not working with IE, any suggestions ?
thanks
Had to take the plugin down, my site was deactivated by the hosting company because of server overload due to wp-wall ...
Why the error?
Hi there,
i got this error when someone writes a message:
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.
I set the permissions to 755 and then to 777 but the problem is still the same.
Any hints?
Thx and greetz
Frank :-)
Sorry I found the CSS file ! there's the answer (.wp-alt class) :)
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for this cool plugin.
Is it possible to assign at least two classes to alternate the background color ?
I opened the main file but it's quite complicated.
I can do it in a comments.php template, but here I'm pretty lost.
Does anybody have some idea about how to deal with that?
Thanks.
There was a problem with latest version of the plugin on some configurations. I suggest you delete the plugin folder using FTP and then install the latest version 1.4.2
Until Vladimir signs in, anyone else have an answer?
I just tried to activate the wp wall and got this message, it has locked up everything and I really don't know what to do.
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_page_permastruct() on a non-object in /home/labonnee/wordpress/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 215
Please help.
1) How can I insert the WP Wall into the "Page Content" instead of the "sidebar"
2) How to insert multiple WP Wall ?
Hi
I have installed WP Wall. Its works fine on the right side, but linked page (added to pages) does not show any of comments? Suggestions, where the problem might be?
Thanks -Erik-
Thanks for the tip Mike
Think I might have fixed this by changing line 111 of wp-wall.php
from:
add_action('init', 'WPWall_Init');
to:
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'WPWall_Init');
I'm not sure if this is right, but this is the how other plugins registered.
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:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tabbed-widgets/
Cannot activate the plugin, because it would cause a fatal error.
Which wp-version is needed?
Thanks
Songline
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.
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
Anyone know how to get this working with the reCaptcha plugin?
Hi,
What a great plugin! I have been wondering though, I am planning to use the disqus commenting system. However, can I use your wp-wall next to it? Do those work side by side?
Hoping for your reply
Hi, I've just recently set-up your awesome plugin.
I have a question though, how can I add a URL/Website form so that when people comment, there will be a link to their site?
Thanks.
great plugin!
Forgot to mention.. I'm using wordpress 2.7
Hi
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?
When a user leaves a reply on the sidebar wall widget and hits submit it goes to the page wp-wall-ajax.php showing a white page with just the comments rather than refreshing the page with the new comment in the sidebar. I have installed the newest version of wp-wall 1.4
Thanks -Scott
using wordpress 2.7 and version 1.4 of your plugin, I noticed that php speedy partially breaks the walls functionality, anyone else using this combination?
http://aciddrop.com/2008/12/15/php-speedy-wp-051-recommended-upgrade/
Hi
love the tool
ive been watching my stats (after a nasty bandwidth reminder) and it seem the refresh will chew thru site bandwidth
i left my main site page open last night and roughtly 24hours later about 200mb has gone
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
can it be investigated as to what traffic it causes (and as above, what system resources it uses)
D
Update WP Wall to 1.4
- Added option to expand post box by default
- Added option to reverse comment display order
@James & Cowboy: Read the FaQ, if you use it'll appear in your template as well.. If you want it in a page, just install the plugin exec-php and than paste that same code in a post/page.
@ Nate: Update your wordpress, that is what the problem is.
Little more info...I'm on Wordpress 2.5.1 and WP Wall 1.3
Ran into another problem. My web host suspended my account because of WP Wall saying it was too much load on the server and was "causing performance issues on the server" so what exactly is causing this major load and how can I fix it? I've got WP Wall set up like a chat where it refreshes instantly, is that the problem?
I would love to keep WP Wall but right now I have to take it off my site :(
Greetings Thanks for your plugin, I can't seem to make turn it into a a chat box. I changed the refresh time to 5 seconds and hit update. I would like to be able to answer questions to specific comments left by visitors.
Here is the page in question:
http://www.thegratefuldread.com/?page_id=25
I can edit comments that are left by visitors but I cannot comment on them.
Thanks for your time!
Mike B
hi there,
james asked if it would be possible to use the plug in on a "page template" instead of a widget. seeing as my page doesn't use widgets it would be a great help.
was that questioned answered already...
thx 4 u're time
Major Kudos, nicely done, Vladimir! I gave your plugin a "plug," which you can read over here: http://f1marketsolutions.com/losungen/?page_id=199
Best regards,
Fred
Cool Pliug in !
Can this be used in a page template ?? Like a chat page ? Instead of a widget ?
Great plugin, just what i was looking for. Can you tell me how I can change the Author color?
Very good plugin for your blog, wp wall is a full customizeable widget
which can be useful for ur blog.
Hi,
And thank you for this great plugin : I'm on 2.7, and it works great and very easy (sorry for my english, I'm just a poor french lawyer !).
I just wanted to know if (and how...) it's possible to add something like Captcha or question to stop spams comments on wp-wall ? I am receiving about 100 spams each day, and they're all using my wp-wall comments page... Of course they're stopped by Akismet, but I'd like to stop them before !
Thank you very much if it's possible, and of course, in any case :
Hapy New Year !!
Is there a way I can keep it from calling jquery 1.2.3 if I'm already using it in other applications. It is calling it twice. I'm trying to cut down on page load times.
Thanks
Hey Vladimir,
Thanks for the great plugin.
Would like seeing it 2.7 compatible.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Vladimir
I have the same problem as tidus 97
posting a message takes me to
wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall-ajax.php
which lists all the messages not in the wall,
just in an empty window.
i´m using wordpress 2.7 and 1.3.5 version of WP-Wall
Thank You. I´s a great plugin
I just downloaded it and its a cool widget! But how do I allow commenters to add their website url and link them?
Thanks for the plugin, love it!
just a quick question, i basically don't know what im doing with css/php lol. still i've managed to fumble myself through customising my blog. just one more thing which is to do with my wall that is annoying me. here's my blog: http://joenendo.dreamhosters.com/
could someone please tell me how to move those arrows underneath the wall up so they are parralel with the shout button. im sure its something really obvious and easy >.>
thanks in advance!
Running 1.3.5 and the latest Wordpress.
Always getting:
"Invalid Data: Please go back and try again."
even with all options turned off and logged in.
The comment may only be 1 letter.
What about customizing the height/width of the textarea and submit button? I've tried it with css, but it doesn't change the width.
That fixed it Tim, thanks! I had the wordwrap limit set to 25 which was breaking links. Now that it's fixed any idea where I could throw "target=_blank" so links open in a new window?
Ha! Tim beat me to it! That was the only thing I could think of. Do let us know if that solved it for you, too, Nate.
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!).
Hth
Tim
I looked in my sidebar300.php and my style.css and didn't find any text-align: justify, is there anywhere else I should look?
If you go to my site http://www.RockItPro.com you can see the right sidebar, links work fine under TOP 10 BEATS and LATEST FORUM POSTS but inside the WP Wall a space is always added in the url, in IE and Firefox.
For the links problem, I wonder if your theme is setting
"text-align: justify" in the sidebar? (I'm assuming you meant specifically on the sidebar, not the page WP-Wall creates).
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!
you are right, this has been fixed in version 1.3.5
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
I am having problems with using WP-Wall and WP-recaptcha. WP-recaptcha seems to be blocking WP-Wall comments. Any thoughts on this?
other then don't use wp-recaptcha? :)
Hi,
So can I just check something. There seems to be a known bug where by 'long' URLs (but in fact not very long) break when postsed (spaces are inserted) and there's no known fix at present?
Can anyone provide clues as to which line(s) of the PHP is modifying the submitted text so I can have a go at fixing it?
Thanks
Tim
Hello, bonjour,
Sorry for my bad english. So, i have this problem ans i'm so confuse with.
When in send a message, the redirection goes to a blank page, with just the comment line, nothing more.
The comment are allowed on my WP-wall page and it's work correctly when i go manually on this page. This is just the redirection from the message i've sent, to the wp-wall page it doesn't work.
Someone can help me? Thank you very much. I appreciate
Great plugin. Congratulation Vladimir.
I get a page error "page cannot be displayed" when I have moderation turned on and a guest leaves a comment. I can press back and everything works as normal, the comment goes through for moderation?
Any fix on this?
Great article and informativ. I have this bookmarked. Thanks
How do users add a clickable link in the WP Wall Test box?
this exactly what I need for my blog.
I have a question though, can it supports gravatar and timestamp?
many thanks
Hi,
after last update of your widget, i've a provblem! when i try to add a comment to the wall, it doens't works and this message appears:
"An error occurred, please notify the administrator."
thanks in advance!
Andrea
Hi,
Nice webapp .. I love it ...
Thanks for the quick bug fixing release. :)
thanks for the release. it definitely fixed those problems. my new problem is that the wall does not refresh on chrome or firefox. it does however work with IE. to see new messages in FF/chrome i need to either post a message (which makes the incoming message apear as i post mine) or refresh the page.
a fix for this if possible?
Sorry I found how to disable it from the options.
A nice plugin thanks Vladimir
Hello
I would like to not have the date and time of the latest comment, on the wall, to be showend.
In whitch file can I remove it?
I must be stupid not to find it..
Thanks
hello. when I send the text in shoutbox, on the button is writting: "pleas wait", but it's change "send" after very long while. if i click it again. there is writen: "An error occurred, please notify the administrator". what is problem?? all so can I automaticly clear input form after sending message??
1.3.2 released today, fixes the new page opening glitch
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...
Hi,
after updating to 1.3.1 wp-wall doesn't return to the starting page but opens a "list" of all entered comments. What happened and what can I do to get the old behaviour back?
Regards,
Wolfgang
Is there an option to show the comments upside down? I just feel it unnatural to read it from bottom to start... I'll probably try to tweak your plug-in code, you may want to add this option someday, tell me if so!
Thanks for the plug-in anyway, nice feature for shy commenters.
Hi - I like wp-wall - I can't get comments to post to the wall page however. Setting for page is comments allowed. thks!
Hi!
Thanks for plugin. I am testing to implement on my site.
I am wondering if we can make the Wall to Post specific. Currenly is for overall site. I want to have it separate by post.
Can this be done?
Really appreciate your help.
-Vijay
Ah i forgot to mention another one.
I've enabled the email field but I've changed the text to email / website so people can choose to input their website.
How do I exactly make their names linking to their website input?
Hey there,
Loving the widget, it's easy to customize.
However, I've been trying to make the input forms
available right away without clicking on 'Leave a reply'
in order the see the form.
Is it possible?
Not sure you saw my new message on the forum but I'm still having problems with links.
1. WP-Wall puts a space in url's so if you click on a link it takes you to a not found page.
2. Links are clickable in IE7 when you use the "www" but NOT in Firefox 3.
3. Links should open in a new window.
oh it's okay i found a way to edit the colors :)
@Vladimir - 测试效果
Hi there.
Very nifty widget but I have a problem... I can't seems to change the text color? is there a way to make it more visible on my site?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, I know where to look now.@Vladimir -
@Pierre-Marie - WP Wall uses WordPress comments for storing the comments, and WordPress has this rule for duplicate comments built in. You can try searching for a way to disable it on WordPress level.
@Curtis Prevo - It would be possible to create a Wp Wall MU. I recommend posting in the marketplace section of my forum perhaps someone can help.
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
Hi! Thanks so much for this plugin, its just what I've been looking for forever.
I've been trying to find a way to leave the comment box open instead of visitors having to click before being able to leave a comment. Is this possible? Can't seem to edit the way the text looks either through the css page, like changing the font size or the location of the rss link.
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?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks!
How do I use the
echo $before_title . $wall_title. $after_title;Function to place an
before and after the wall_title? so that I can use CSS to stylize the title of the wall?Awesome plugin but I'm not getting the comments on the Wall page.
(re: Is it possible to display a “Wall-Archive” Page to show all comments?)
http://www.rareexception.com/the-wall/
Is there a tag to add to the page to get comments to appear?
Hey, i love this plugin but have one problem: mess with latin chars: see the problem: http://alambique.com.br/
I am wondering if it is possible to make the WP Wall access another blog. I am using Wordpress MU, but I can imagine it would be beneficial to other people that have several blogs installed on a site. This way the Wall could be communal, like a site-wide bulletin board. What variables would I need to change?
Thanks for the great plugin!
@Lon - Send me your unsubscribe email and I'll sort it out for you.
i also want to change "leave a comment" to bold. and i'd like to see an option for the type box for comments to always be visible.
great plugin. thanks
I've been trying to unsubscribe to this posts comments, but haven't been able to for some reason...
@Spring - Can someone email me the answer since you can't write code here? toni@tonisnightout.com ;-) Thanks!
@Spring - I don't understand :-(
ouch, how to write some html codes (shown as text) here?
Sorry, I forgot add code tag ^^!

I am having the same problem as the people below.. What code do I need to add to the all page to make the comments display? Currently nothing pulls through.
Thanks
Released version 1.3 with fixed latest comment timer update.
@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.
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 ;-)
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!)
Is there an easy way to essentially just display the text output on a Page?
Essentially...i want it to be a page, and not a widget.
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.

How do I make the "Leave a reply" text bold?
Thanks for this plugin -- it's terrific!
hi... i want to know if there is a way to show gravatars on the wall itself and not on the wall page only
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.
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!
Hey there-- I'm having the same problem as this guy:

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?
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)?
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.
Great Plugin!
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.
how can I set different charset only in Wall?
hello is there possible to display the avatar ?
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.
Regards, Paula
i cant get this plugin to work.
im using 2.6.2 and i get this when i try to post:
An error occurred, please notify the administrator.
What is wrong?
how do we show the gravatars on the wall post...
Love the application, but for whatever reason the comments aren't working for me on the page. They show in the comments count and in the administration tool, but when I click on show comments it doesn't do anything. Any where I can look to resolve this? Thanks!
Michael
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.
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.
Pete.
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 :-)
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.
Hmm, after the upgrade, the plugin does not work anymore. The fild where to rite is always visible and if I push "submit£ button, it gives me a 500 server internal error. This did not happend before though. Any fix possible? Thanks in advance
Great one! Would moderation enable once set in WP setting?
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.

Version 1.2.2 is out today, includes Wordwrap option in the settings.
This is a great plugin for wordpress thanks!
Just a fix with admin highlighting. Added to changelog.
What are the changes between 1.2 and 1.2.1? I've made a few mods to get it working with my theme and would be good to know the changes. Would be even better if the changelog on this page was updated.
Other than that, FANTASTIC plugin!
Parabéns pelo bom trabalho!
Grife Mídia
I tried it out and liked it, but it killed my server :( I get about 30k pageviews a day, maybe thats why?
Thank you for the tool :)
Hum... I already checked the Notify me of followup comments via e-mail here and then I receivre a lots of emails. And I don't want them anymore. Even when I click the link in the emails that says «To manage your subscriptions or to block all notifications from this site» it doesn't work.
How can I remove my address from the list of notifications?
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Best Regards
Due to popular demand next version of WP Wall is out.
New in 1.2:
- Wall page id can be edited in options
- Users are not allowed to post under registered user's names
- Added wall-admin and wall-registered to highlight comments of admins and other registered users
- Comment box is cleared after leaving a comment
Comments are detected as spam by Dave's Spam Karma 2 and thus not shown. I need to manually recover the comments. Help ASAP!
I know there is the date of comment on hover but is there an option to show the date next to the username?
adn can someone write a tutorial for integrating gravatars with wp-wall?
thanks in advance for you help
I love the wall plugin, it makes a site look so much more profesional. Smilies line up great also.
I edited color's code in css file but nothing happen.
Help me please, this plugin so great and enjoyable! Thanks for ur help.
Check: aresvn.com/wp
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! :)
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.
Love this plugin....
With the newest comment appearing on the top...I think it would make more sense for the "leave a comment" link to be at the top as well. Especially if you are displaying around 10 or more comments.
great plugin! I just gave up on cbox
is there any chance to get gravatars inside wp-wall? any hack? that would be cool
just to add to that, i'm missing the text box as well, though the reply link opens it up. you can see an example of it broken here http://blog.mosaicbaptist.org/
previuos and next icons seem to be missing, same with in the 'options' page
Cestitam. Congratulations!
Vladimir, Your plug-ins are great! I want to use the WP-wall plug-in but am wondering if you could add in the ability to exclude swear words and profanity? Even if it was done by the admin providing a list of words to exclude and/or replace with either $##%(%)(random char) or other nice words. I just know how people can get and will just post swear words to be funny.
Thanks!
sorry my last post in the forum here was deleted again :-( or spammed away? so I'll try here.
Ok, I disabled the visitor need a name and email to comment and I was asked to enter all required fields !? I have no clue why, so when I entered an email, I got the old error about notifying the admin again :-(
haha, thats funny, in your latest forum posts widget, I can see my two topics, but when I go to the forum, I can't see them anywhere?

hello Vladimir, I tried to post my problem into the forum, it seems to work just fine, then when I go back to read the forum, my topic seems to disappear?
Or are you moderating topics? still I should be able to see it right?
can you please check it out?
hello Vladimir,
I have used this plugin since one of its first versions, but now, with version 1.0.1 if a user logs in (editor) and tries to comment in the shoutbox, he gets:
An error occurred, please notify the administrator.
even if he just wrote: test. Same goes for guests, only me as a moderator can write to the shoutbox. settigns are:
wp settings: comments allowed, user must just leave a name and emai laddress
wall settings: comments are enabled and everyone can comment.
see it here: http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu
thanks for the plugin, its great.
i have one question abt the page that it creates.
How does it work?
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?
I'm with the same problem related by Mike. When a non logged user (visitor) try to leave a message got the error:
"An error occurred, please notify the administrator."
I already deactivated all other plugins and still getting the error.
Thanks for any help.
good works thanks wor this awesome plugin
Hi Vladimir,
I have tried to install the plugin, but when I try to activate it, the message that I am receiving is:
"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error"
Any idea about why?
Thank you for the plugin, anyway!!

Hello...
Does anyone (vladimir?) know if WP Wall will work with wpmu? I have it installed as a plugin but I can't change any options in the WP Wall setting page
Thanks!!
New major version v1.0 released today
v1.0
- Added email field
- Added option to show HTML
- Added option to make links clickable
- Renamed form fields for xHTML compliance
how does this work with wp-cache?
I installed the plugin on my site http://www.nomorefreebeer.com
Seems to work well however, when I visit the "all" link, the initial posters information is entered in the form below? Maybe I need to clear my cookies and history but, I would like a little verification on that if someone could go test it. Just click on the all link to see if the form beneath the comments is already filled out.
Thanks...
I installed today and it worked fine for a few minutes but suddenly my entire site went off. I spoke to my web hoster and found out that my website is overloading their system hence they need to cut it off and i am now on a suspension of 12 hours before they allow me to access my site again. Too bad....
Hi,
i am italian. Thanx a lot for the plugin, is very very great and beautifull.
I have uploaded to my blog http://www.tekw.netsons.org please visit.
Thx man!
Hi,
I got the "An error occurred, please notify the administrator" message. It's only possible to post a message as Administrator. Not as an Author.
I disabled the other plugins one by one, but it did not work. It could be possible that more then one Plugin is screwing with WP wall.
I have the following plugins: cforms, DMSGuestbook, Exclude Pages.
I really need this plugins, so disabling them is not an option.
Regards
Mike
Ana I haven't included active links yet as that is a fertile ground for spammers. May consider it in upcoming versions though.
I have opened a support forums for this and all other plugin here http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/forum for all your upcoming questions.
Such a cool plugin I will set up
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
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!
- Ana
doh! never mind... hadnt realized you were using regular wp comments... doesnt like comment spam plugins for the obvious reasons... got it all squared in that respect...
now if I can just get it working in the POS IE... works great in FF, Safari and Opera... but of course, I can use your site it IE, so its still something else I have going on...
Vladimir,
Having an issue in that only registered members can leave a message on the wall... the wp wall options page is configured to allow guests to leave a message (Only registered users can post box is not checked)
when visitors leave a message, the submit button changes to "Please wait", but it never progresses any further...
running 0.8.2
gonna try to search for conflicts...
I am about to commit a suicide ...
The thing work perfectly in the side bar but doesn't write a thing in the wp wall guestbook page ...
Any idea ?
I deactivated all plugins and left WP-Wall active but the shoutbox/chat is not showing up in the sidebar. I can get to the page and leave a comment and it will show up. But a live shoutbox/chat won't show up in the sidebar.
HELP!!!! :)
A bit of trouble.
I published the wp Wall page but it doesn't show.
Help?
Success! It turns out that WP Wall and Spam Karma 2 don't play well together. :-) Thanks for the totally rocking plug-in!
well best option is to disable all other plugins, try it and if it works activate them one by one until you find a conflicting plugin.
Vladimir, I am really excited about using this plug-in. But I'm having a slight problem and was hoping you might be able to help. I've installed it in my plugins folder and it shows up as a widget and I can add it just fine. But when I leave a comment to test it out, I get an error saying "An error occurred, please notify the administrator." Any thoughts? Thanks.

WP version 2.6
Plugins: myweather,nexgen gallery, tag cloud, archives, calendar, about me, search, and polls
There's one other suggestion I wanted to make:
It would be great to have the ability to choose ascending or descending order of the comments, since most people are used to chat type windows displaying the newest at the bottom.
In process of setting up a site at http://74.52.105.242/~jtaconsu/ using WP Wall but the shoutbox is not displaying even after setting the refresh rate to 5. Please let me know if I'm missing something.
Thanks!
version 0.8.2 released today shows a message to unregistered users when only registered is enabled.
Alex if you hover the mouse over the comment author you get the exact date of the comment posting.
If "Only registered users can post" is checked the form to submit a message is visible. Is it possible to view a message instead. Something like "You must be logged in to leave a message on the WALL"
Hi there, great plug-in!
I was wondering if there was any way to display the date of the comment that is currently being viewed, instead of just the latest comment.
So if you navigated back a few comments, you would know when it was posted.
This is great, but don´t work by me with the MCEComments Plugin.
Problem, original Comment show no more MCEComments, but the "WP Wall"
To delete a comment just click on the name as admin.
To adjust the font size you can change it in CSS.
If you like Wp Wall you can also vote for it on Wordpress plugin competition: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/2008/07/06/wp-wall/
Greetings, you made a nice plugin.
But there is something it really needs: Adjustable Fontsize!
how do you delete a comment on the wall?
love your plugins. . . I think that I will be downloading a few more that smart youtube
Yes to cure it, you would add the same field and the same question to the form as your plugin has and it will work.
Hiya, love the plugin but am finding that people can't leave a message as it's asking for antispam word, is that because it's conflicting with my anti-spam plugin? Thanks!
Great plug-in.
I would recommend being able to shut off gravatars.
Thank you,
Claude
I just tried to use this plugin: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/ with your shoutbox to prevent long links from stretching it but somehow they do not seem to work well together...
Unfortunately the other plugin author does not have comments enabled, but maybe someone here could also test this particular plugin combination? It seems very useful to me when combined with wp wall and maybe its just my site that does not want to work with it...
I just noticed a link disappearing from a comment on wp wall, is this related to the plugin or could it be another plugin stripping that link?
Thanks exactly what i was looking for!
Thank you very much for your help. :)
I'm n00b in wordpress.
You can use the excellent recent comments plugin http://rmarsh.com/plugins/recent-comments/ which allows you to exclude some posts among other things.
I really like your plugin. I want to use it as shoutbox but I also have recent comments in my sidebar. Is there a way to disable the shouts from "recent comments"?
Thanx :)
thats strange. even after logging out, I continue getting these errors:
wallform[0] has no propertieshttp://pacura.ru/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall.js.php?ver=2.6
Line 105
might be a strange proxy issue at work though, I'll have to check again from home.
no errors there, try logging out?
*embarassed* thats the Project Honey Pot Http:BL plugin I tried, it seems your IP address is in the project honeypots database :-(
I have deactivated it as it was just for testing...
It is showing terms of use page evident.php
what do you mean by cannot access? the site is up, I am just playing around with some widgets, thats all. Do you get an error or a timeout or anything?
I can not access your site.
I just disabled php speedy and the problems persist. could you have another look please?
yes I do, its some 0.81 or so.
ovidiu: Do you use the latest version of WP-Wall?
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:
wallform[0] has no properties
http://pacura.ru/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall.js.php?ver=2.6
Line 105
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.
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?
thanks for this plugin. just downloaded this and am lovin it so far :) nice to know that you placed helpful comments on the .css file. it makes it easier customize the widget.
Maarten: Glad that you could point out the problem..
How can I have the date of the latest post in spanish format? Where can I change months?
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
There is nothing special to it. If you can see comments on the wall, the comments are coming from that page.
@Fadi, That is what I mean. My page doens't show the comments, while I have enabled commenting on pages...
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?
How can I have the date of the latest post in spanish? Can I change it?
I have wp wall working in my blog http://www.metalikos.org and I need to have date in spanish format.
no email address? why?
i think the moderation best focus on email address, since there are guys with same name..
Hi there Vladimir,
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?
Regards, Maarten
Doh!
Thanks Vladimir.
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.
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?
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.
0.8.1 out, without the timestamp glitch :)
Hi, same problem as Stevie and Ross with timestamp (Warning: Division by zero) otherwise great, thanks.
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
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.
Awesome. Simply Awesome. I love this...keep up the good work.
Hi!
It would be nice if you add a option to put it in the admin board page. ^^ Will be useful to chat with editors, autors and admins of the same blog!
See ya!!
Hi, i just tried to put your plugin intomy site but i just don get it shown, i'm not using widgets, so i tries to put the code on my sidebar, but nothing appears, could you help me?. Thank you
Oh -- one other reason to store the logged-in user's email...Gravatars! :)
Would you consider storing email addresses in the comments when a logged-in user posts to the wall? That would be quite useful for my application...
Thanks for the cool plugin!!
I am using it. What is your suggestion? de-activate the plugin and move on? It's only caught 7 spam comments so far anyway.
Small research reveals this is the problem of wp-spamfree plugin, are you using it?
This is a great plug-in, but I can't get it to work. With both IE7 and FF I get the following error "Sorry, there was an error. Please enable JavaScript and Cookies in your browser and try again."
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.
Thnaks!
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/
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...
You need to add height attribute to #wallcomments not wp_wall
:-) I could need some help, getting this widgets output to scroll. you can see my first tries if you click on my name.
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.
Yeah, version 0.7 solved that. Thanks, mate!
thank
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.
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)
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!)
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
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.
When I check Only registered users can post, it doesn't stay checked. It unchecks when saving. How can I get that to work?
oh, and if you visit my site, check it out with firebug enabled in firefox, it throws some errors like:
wallform[0] has no properties
http://pacura.ru/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-wall/wp-wall.js.php?ver=7796
Line 80
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 .
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?
Hi Vlad.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Is it possible to show the date near the posts? Editing the wp-wall-widget.php or other files?
Thanks! This blog is great!!!
Ok, it's perfect !
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.
Hello !
I just made some tests, and your plugin doesn't seems to prevent spam...
Hi all version 0.6 is out and it adds the much anticipated page navigation. It's sleek and fast like the rest of plugin.
edoluz: date and time already exist when you hover the mouse over the comment author name.
You can edit wp-wall-widget.php and add the list of emoticons (it is an HTML file). The link for the full list is : http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies
Hi vladimir!
great plugin, the one i needed indeed!
a suggestion: is possible to add date and time of the comments? a list of the emoticons? thank you again!
what did you change in 5.1?
Hi i have the same problem Holyshield.."Your comment is awaiting moderation" though i already disabled the comments moderation and the spam catching stuff
nice replacement for those shoutbox. keep up the good work :D
Elm: 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 :)
Very nice PlugIn! Is it possible to display a "Wall-Archive"-Page to show all comments? That way it could be used as a guestbook, showing the recent entries up front and all the others on a guestbook-page "inside" the blog.
Hi Brad.. All my plugins have donation link listed on the official wordpress site like here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-wall/
I do not take those donations though, I forwarded them to some charities of my choice.
Just a suggestion...you should put a donate link on your site if you can. I'm not sure where you are or if you can even use PayPal for donates, but you have a really cool plugin here, and I think people would show their support for it. I know I would. ;)
Brad
It may be because you enabled comment moderation on your blog. Or you have entered a comment that was caught by spam protection.
Why if i post a comment the shoutbox say like this
"your comment is waiting moderation"
can i disable that feature
i am using a capthca plugin, so what would i need to do to the widget file? I would use akismet, but i thought you needed a wordpress.org/com account to get the api key. the other way was just easier...I guess id be willing to make the effort haha..and as for the smileys, before you released your new version about an hour or two ago (lol), i was using the custom smileys plugin and just added the php code above the comment box, which worked perfectly as well
0.4 version update is out and it also brings in the smilies to da WALL ;)
Dude...didn't even look at the Comments section. Wow, I'm a douche.
And I'll be patiently waiting for that update. ;) I see you already have it working on your Wall. Nice!
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 :)
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
ok well, i realized after i posted this how to add the smilies lol, but im having a problem with guest posts. No matter what I put into the textbox and name fields, it always gives the wrong anti-spam word error. any ideas why this is happening?
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?
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.

Error: wallform[0] has no properties

The plugin works great, just FireFox says there is a js error. Any way to fix that?
Great Idea!
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Regards
Nice plugin.
Can I disable shouts from recent comments list in sidebar?
Thanks for your input. How did you solve breaking long words with your widget?
I did include date on hover already in version 0.3 which I released today.
thx :-) I'll give it a live try on my site later on, meanwhile you can check out another implementation I made for friends on their site to check out some nice feature, like: on mouse over the commenters name you see the comment date, etc.
http://www.rum-reisen.de/
look at the right side. its the tagboard widget implemented.
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 :)
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.
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.
