• Highlighting comments worked for the main user before the upgrade (4 versions). Can someone help me with this?

    I have the Author Highlight Plugin – http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/wiki/AuthorHighlight – to use. And it says to add code into my comments.php. But where? ..and what does the “This is a comment” need to be?

    I included my comments.php at the bottom.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    FROM AUTHOR HIGHLIGHTS
    You need to add this code to your comments.php file (in your theme’s directory):

    <?php author_highlight(); ?>

    It needs to be withing the loop for the comments, and you want to specify it so that it outputs into a class attribute. Something like this:
    <div class=”<?php author_highlight(); ?>”>
    This is a comment.
    </div>

    FROM MY COMMENTS.PHP FILE

    <?php // Do not delete these lines
    	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
    		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
            if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
                if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
    				?>
    
    				<p class="nocomments"><?php _e("This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments."); ?><p>
    
    				<?php
    				return;
                }
            }
