# comments_array filter issue

 * I am trying to parse comments using the filter ‘comments_array’ when I enable
   the filter with;
 * `add_filter( 'comments_array', 'jshout_comments' );`
 * All I am doing initially is;
 *     ```
       function jshout_comments( $comments, $id )
       {
       	return( $comments );
       }
       ```
   
 * What happens is that all themes (incl twenty_*) immediately break, I have debug
   on and nothing is reported it is almost as though a ‘die()’ is happening. If 
   I comment out add filter all works, uncomment the theme breaks .. stops all output.
 * Any ideas to help track it down would be appreciated.

 * You need to specify how many args are passed if it’s more than one.
    `add_filter('
   comments_array', 'jshout_comments', 10, 2 );`
 * I think everyone has made this mistake at least once 🙂
