Title: @ Reply Author: Yus Published: April 1, 2008 Last modified: June 16, 2011 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/reply-to.svg) # @ Reply By [Yus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iyus/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/reply-to.zip) * [Details](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/reply-to/#description) * [Reviews](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/reply-to/#reviews) * [Installation](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/reply-to/#installation) * [Development](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/reply-to/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/reply-to/) ## Description This plugin allows you to add Twitter-like @reply links to comments. When clicked, those links insert the author name and a link to the comment you are replying to in the textarea. Most of the code is taken from the Custom Smilies plugin by Quang Anh Do which is released under GNU GPL : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-smilies/ Thanks to Guillaume Ringuenet for the arrow graphics. I didn’t create anything new, and I do not claim so in any way. This plugin is just a feature I wanted and judging by the number of downloads I guess I wasn’t the only one. 😉 ## Screenshots * [[ * The reply links as they appear in comments. * [[ * This is automaticaly inserted when you click on a reply link. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. (optional) The `dreply.png` file is for dark background themes use it to replace the default `reply.png` file if you want/need. ## FAQ It doesn’t work! I activated the plugin but I can’t see the reply links. They _should_ be visible only when you move your mouse cursor over a comment text. If it still doesn’t work, open `at-reply.php` search for `visibility:hidden;` (line 26) and remove that part, then you can also remove the whole line 29 `.comment:hover. yarr { visibility:visible }` because it becomes useless. This will make the reply links always visible for **all** comments (and not just the one your mouse cursor is over). It doesn’t work! I can see the reply links but clicking them does nothing. Either you have disabled JavaScript in your browser or your WordPress theme is not using the default id for the comments textarea (which is `comment`). In the later case, check your `comments.php` file to find your textarea id, then open `at-reply. php` and replace all the `document.getElementById('comment')` with `document.getElementById(' YOUR_ID')`. This version sucks! I prefer the old one because I could choose where I want to put the reply link. It’s hard to please everyone. For me, **@ Reply** should be a built-in theme feature and not a plugin. But plugins are easier to install (when it works). You can still download the [previous version](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/reply-to.1.0.1.zip), just remember to replace `Version: 1.0.1` with `Version: 2.8` (or any higher number) on line 6 so that WordPress doesn’t suggest you to update the plugin. Possible conflicts with other plugins. A plugin that filters the default WordPress comments functions, may prevent @ Reply from working. For example, WP_Identicon does this, but it also has an alternate setup for “advanced users” that doesn’t conflict with @ Reply. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “@ Reply” is open source software.
