Php help – mystery code

Thaks! Yeah, there’s only one, and it’s associated with comments somehow. Pasted below:

I assume that something about that widget/plugin is sneaking into whatever code generates the post body and slapping the ad code into it right at the point where the “<!– more –>” tag would sit. It’s just totally blowing my mind as to how/where it is coming from. I think I want to totaly recode it and get rid of this madnesss, but understanding it a little better would help!

// Comments
if (function_exists('wp_list_comments')) {
	// comment count
	add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comment_count', 0);
	function comment_count( $commentcount ) {
		global $id;
		$_commnets = get_comments('status=approve&post_id=' . $id);
		$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($_commnets);
		return count($comments_by_type['comment']);
	}
}

function sdac_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
   $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment;
   ?>
   <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
     <div id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" class="completeComment">
     		<div class="gravatar">
			<?php if (function_exists('get_avatar') && get_option('show_avatars')) { echo get_avatar($comment, 32); } ?>
			</div>
			<div class="commentBox">
				<p class="commentMeta"><?php comment_time('F d, Y');?> at <?php comment_time('G:i a T');?> | <?php comment_author_link();?> writes:</p>
				<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
         		<p><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.') ?></p>
      			<?php endif; ?>
				<?php comment_text(); ?>
				<p class="reply"> <?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?> <?php edit_comment_link();?></p>
			</div>
		</div>
	</li>
<?php
        }

?>

Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, there’s a custom plugin for those ads. I really don’t know why she went to the trouble of making a custom plugin for it – perhaps it has to be that way to insert the ad in an odd place like that?

I’m thinking about just deleting that plugin, then manually slapping in the ad code in the correct places, but I’m afraid it might be so deeply emnbedded it’ll massively mess things up. I don’t have a backup copy to tinker with right now.

Hey, thanks. So, first, let me ask this:

I changed the single.php code to be exactly what you suggest above, and STILL, that ad code somehow sneaks its way into the post. It’s totally insane! I want to get rid of it, but more importantly I really just want to understand what the hell is going on.

I grepped all the theme files and the only place where that ‘sdac_triple_p_ad_code’ comes from is single.php and functions.php which I pasted above.

My head is just totally spinning. I know the core of WP is not hacked, but that’s what it feels like. How in the world can the totally default code you suggested STILL pull that ad? It’s nuts!

You can see the sucker in action here: http://www.triplepundit.com/2009/09/pge-quits-us-chamber-protesting-its-climate-change-stance/ (and all other article pages)

Finally, if it matters, the plugin itelf is pasted here:

It’s a pretty simple, one file plugin. Is there anything you see there that’s somehow re-writing, or over-writing what a default single page should show?
