26. August 2010 in Wordpress | 5 Comments

There are 2 ways to highlight author’s comments, one is use highlight author comments wordpress plugin, another idea is without wordpress plugin. If you don’t want to use wordpress plugin to highlight author’s comment, you can follow the below few simple steps.

First, you need to open styles.css and add the following into this file.

.authorstyle { background-color: #B3FFCC !important; }

Second, open comments.php, find and locate the following code.

<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"></li>

And then replace with

<li class="<?php if ($comment->user_id == 1) $oddcomment = "authorstyle"; echo $oddcomment; ?>"></li>

Please note that you must change 1 to the user id of the author. Thanks to Matt Cutts for this tutorial.

    Unfortunately I don’t have a WP blog. :(

    Any idea if there’s a similar website full of tricks and suggestions for Blogger?

    obviously like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll surely come back again.
