There aren&#8217;t too many of these around, plus, while most of them work, they don&#8217;t work the way I&#8217;d like them to work.\n<\/p>\n<p>Notice that this is a &#8216;functional&#8217; plug-in, meaning that it works but that I haven&#8217;t had time yet to add the stuff I really need: I&#8217;m working on the exceptions postings and the &#8216;automatic close comments&#8217; stuff (currently I&#8217;m using a bare to the bones plug-in).\n<\/p>\n<h2>Installation<\/h2>\n<p>1. Download the plug-in.<br \/>\n2. Copy it to your plug-in folder.<br \/>\n3. Activate it within WordPress.<br \/>\n4. Go to the Options page and look for the page &#8216;Comment Central&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>A couple of notes before you download it: if you have a WordPress 1.x series installed, you may want to go to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=1177#comments\">thread<\/a> first. I&#8217;m not sure where the major differences are between the 1.x and 2.x versions. This plugin was developed on the WordPress 2.0 platform and tested on the 1.5.x , 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 series. And YES, CommentCentral also works on WordPress 2.5.<\/p>\n<div class=\"reference\">\n<p><strong>12\/11\/08: <\/strong> CommentCentral works fine on WordPress 2.7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How does this work<\/h2>\n<p>I provided a couple of ways to close comments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple: Close everything. Or Open everything.\n<\/li>\n<li>Intermediate: Make a selection of &#8216;last&#8217; posts to close or open.\n<\/li>\n<li>Advanced: Close comments\/pings based on a date range or post ID.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Updates<\/h2>\n<p><strong>0.4.4<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simplified Status message (get rid of some of the &#8216;nothing&#8217; to report<br \/>\n      bugs). Notice that I&#8217;m working on separating PingCount from CommentCount\n<\/li>\n<li>Use &#8216;prettier&#8217; date selection (use current month\/year)\n<\/li>\n<li>Remove static &#8216;year&#8217; box selection.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>0.4.2<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use fieldset apropriately in &#8216;By Last Number&#8217;.\n<\/li>\n<li>Clean up some MySQL code (aliases issue).\n<\/li>\n<li>Degrade alert message nicely for lower versions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>0.4.1<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added extra Post ID selection (user can now select messages by ID). (slightly finicky programmed).\n<\/li>\n<li>UI changes: Show fancy message at top, finetuned some text.\n<\/li>\n<li>Minor cosmetic code changes (wpdb->table call.\n<\/li>\n<li>Added version check wordpress so statistics query &#8216;degrades&#8217; nicely to a left outer join query (Thanks Alfons)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>0.3 Latest changes: statistics + minor cosmetic changes.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where?<\/h2>\n<p>Right here: <a href='http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/ahcomments.zip' title='AHCommentsCentral'>ahcomments.zip (latest)<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you need the older version: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/ahcomments.zip\" title=\"AHCommentsCentral\">ahcomments.zip (0.4.2)<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Elsewhere<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>WP-Plugins Development (<a href=\"http:\/\/wp-plugins.net\/plugin\/ahcomments\/\">here<\/a>)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction: After a long time bickering and thinking I&#8217;ve decided to work on a comment plug-in for WordPress.
