Auto-Shut Off Comments Plugin

Posted by: Jennifer In: WordPress Bookmarks to Plugins

I looked around for a plugin that would automatically set comments to closed after a set number of days. I didn't find any, but I did find some code at the WordPress wiki that was useful, so I turned it into my own plugin.

It checks for posts to be closed every time the database is updated, so it doesn't require a cronjob.

WordPress Plugin: Auto Shutdown Comments
This plugin turns off comments after a selected number of days. Gives the advantage of not leaving older posts open to spam comments.

I wrote a similar pluging to this when I first started using WP. Instead of closing the comments for posts, it takes any comment made to a post older than the front page and puts it in the moderation queue. Colin Devroe also wrote a plugin that is similar and released his on theubergeeks.net.

If you're looking for info about plugins, one of the better places to start is the IRC channel, #wordpress on irc.freenode.net.

I've tried using this plugin on 2 different WP installations. One is updated with the last version of WP, the other isn't. It causes an error in each installation, when I try to update templates or do any updates and posts from the admin panel. It's very frustrating. I would love to use this plugin but again, I keep getting errors.

After installing this plugin, no more spam and everyting worked great. Or so I thought. Everytime somebody wants to leave a comment, they receive this page after pressing the "Say It!" button:
Warning: Unknown modifier 'C' in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kinuk.co.uk/httpdocs/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1348 (several lines of this) and
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kinuk.co.uk/httpdocs/blog/wp-includes/functions.php:1348) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/kinuk.co.uk/httpdocs/blog/wp-comments-post.php on line 91

What did I do wrong?
