I am using a custom $wpdb query to get all comments from my database.
<?php
$querystr = " SELECT comment_content, commentmeta1.meta_value
AS comment_name, commentmeta2.meta_value
AS comment_country FROM $wpdb->comments, $wpdb->commentmeta
AS commentmeta1, $wpdb->commentmeta
AS commentmeta2
WHERE $wpdb->comments.comment_ID = commentmeta1.comment_id
AND $wpdb->comments.comment_ID = commentmeta2.comment_id
AND commentmeta1.meta_key = 'comment_name'
AND commentmeta2.meta_key = 'comment_country'
AND $wpdb->comments.comment_approved = 1 O
RDER BY $wpdb->comments.comment_date DESC";
$comment_info = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
echo '<ul>';
// display the results
foreach($comment_info as $info) {
echo '<li class="commentBox"><p>"' . $info->comment_content . '"</p><h6>' . $info->comment_name . ', ' . $info->comment_country . '</h6></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
This works great and pulls in and displays the data exactly as I want, however, I also need to add pagination to the comments. The code I am currently using:
Although the pagination links do appear as they should, the $comments_per_page variable set has no effect because all comments are still displayed on one page. I am running this code on a custom page template.
Where am I going wrong?
