Url (link) in comments not working
-
Here’s my situation.
I have tried to make my comments page such that a user can enter his website into the form and a link will be displayed together with his comment.
However, it is just not working. The ‘link’ turns out to be the address of the comment page itself. I had used the variable $comment_author_url to do this and made it so that
<a href="<?php comment_author_url>" target=_blank>Link</a>is displayed.It just didn’t work. Out of sheer frustration, I have taken it out.
Yes, I’m a big fat noob >_< where did I go wrong?

Try <?php comment_author_link() ?>
A small typo error in my post, what I meant to say is that I used
<?php comment_author_link(); ?>Here’s more info on my problem. My site address is http://www.jonling.com
My comment page is a popup and the following is my code:
<?php
/* Don't remove these lines. */
add_filter('comment_text', 'popuplinks');
foreach ($posts as $post) { start_wp();
?>

</html>I think the problem could be that you’re putting the template tag in an anchor tag. You don’t need to do that.
Sorry, I’m a big noob at this. I don’t get what an anchor tag is.
a user can enter his website into the form and a link will be displayed together with his comment.
Isn’t that how WP works out of the box? If the commenter enters his website’s URL, his name will be a link to that site.
I’ve tried the default format for the comment popup page, and it didn’t work
An anchor tag is the
<a href=...that creates links.Alrighty, took out the anchor tag. Now it repeats the author name twice.
I also realise that the
<?php comment_author_link() ?>tag has the same value as the author’s name
