Limit drop down comments

Posted by: Jennifer In: WordPress: Lessons Learned

I'm kind of surprised I didn't post this already (maybe I did and I just can't find it) – but on another blog, I have drop down comments set so it only does this for the first 'x' number of posts with comments. (Otherwise download times can get a little bogged down if there's a lot of posts with comments on the page…) To do that I have this at the top of my page:

<?php
$showcommentmax = 3;
$currentshowcomment = 0;
?>

Then I have this code around the drop down comments call:

<?php
if ($showcommentmax > $currentshowcomment) {
include(ABSPATH . 'wp-dropdown-comments.php');
if (get_comments_count() > 0) {
$currentshowcomment++;
// only counting show comment if it there are comments to show
}
}
?>

Well, I did kind of post this already, but it was MT specific… so I'll leave this post up since it's WP specific.

Very cool. I don't think I've ever gotten a large number of comments while an entry was still on the front page, but it never hurts to be prepared. 😉
