No the status should stay the same but the comments shouldn’t be visible in comment comment list.
I have a comments rating system on my site and would like to show one most popular comment right bellow the post and than other ordinary comments. But I don’t know how to exclude the comment from the list.
Can anyone help?
You’d first need to figure out a way of identifying most popular comment, using code, so that it can be displayed/skipped as appropriate. Then you’d need to write a custom comment callback in functions.php that can be called in comments.php using <?php wp_list_comments('callback=my_custom_comments'); ?>.
The custom comment function could then list, or omit, comments based upon any conditional you care to use.
