Spectacu.la, a WordPress theme club, has just announced the release of their free WordPress Comments plugin . Basically what this plugin does is replace your theme's comments template with a new one, generated by the plugin.
On top of that, you also get pagination and jQuery-based threading of sub-comments. For those who remember the old Theme Lab that used Brian's Threaded Comments plugin , it's kind of like that, but neater.
, even if it doesn't normally support threaded comments, as long as you use the comments_template() call.

The image above shows the light and dark comment styles included in the plugin. Read on to see my screencast demonstrating these two styles in a very old theme that was not originally designed to support threaded comments.
This can be useful for theme developers canada number list who prefer to use this comment template instead of designing their own, or at least use their own styles to sculpt the comment form to their liking with the built-in comment stylesheets disabled.
Let me know what you think about this plugin in the comments. Would you consider using this plugin on your sites? Here is the link again.
Edit the “Allow from” line to reflect your IP address. To add more IP addresses, add a new line with “Allow from” and the next IP address, and so on. Now, you most likely already have a .htaccess file in your WordPress root folder. If so, edit the file and copy and paste the contents of your edited .htaccess file from the zip, and save/reload.
Now open the .htaccess file inside the wp-admin folder of the zip. You should see something like:
Orden Denegar,Permitir
Denegar desde todos
Permitir desde xx.xx.xx.xx
Do the same as above. And add any extra IPs you want to allow in the wp-admin area. Most likely you don't have a .htaccess file in your wp-admin folder, so just upload the edited .htaccess file from the zip to your wp-admin folder.
