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>

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!
