This guide will help you show the user profile picture, profile link, user badges and display name to your comments.

Each theme is different but often you have a comments.php file, open that file and find this part:

The callback will be different for each theme, so you just need to find this function inside your theme files, in my example, I am using the dream-theme and the callback presscore_comment is located in functions.php this can be different for each theme though. The callback function includes your actual comment template.

Once you locate this function, edit the following parts to in the function to replace existing comments and integrate UserPro stuff in it. Here are steps:

=============================================================

STEP 1: DEFINE GLOBAL OF USERPRO

You must define this line global $userpro; just after the callback function has started. In my example, It looks like this:

=============================================================

STEP 2: USE USERPRO PROFILE PICTURE (AVATAR)

Change the part that displays user avatar in your comments to:

This short line will display user avatar, 60 is the size you want. You can customize the comments avatar size using this option. That’s it for the avatar, UserPro avatars now integrated in comments.

=============================================================

STEP 3: DISPLAY USER PROFILE LINK AND NAME

Find the part that displays comment author link or name and replace it with this function:

What did we do? Simply we need to check if the commenter has an ID (profile) by testing $comment->user_id, then we display his permalink, and profile data (display name) that’s all. If he does not have an account, the normal author link will display.

=============================================================

STEP 4: DISPLAY USER BADGES

To display user badges in your comments, simply add this code to your comments function where you want to show the badges (This can be different for your needs) maybe beside commenter name is a good option. So you just need to insert the following snippet to show the badges for any registered user!!

That will show the user badges for comment author. Ofcourse you need to check that he is not a guest using $comment->user_id check.

If anyone has any specific question, or want to extend this tutorial, feel free to write! 🙂

Excellent guide, but i’m using a plugin (Commentator on CodeCanyon) for my comments.

Here is the code with callback functions :

I’ve tried a lot of things with no succes ! If anybody here can help me it will be really great 🙂 Thx a lot !

There is some mistakes with the copy/past, but I guess you understand where are the functions.

I managed to do it with the native commenting system but I can not do with this addon!

This addon is new, it was launched a few days ago, but already a lot of people are interested and many of us ask the author if the addon is compatible with yours.

<?php echo userpro_show_badges($idUser); ?>

However, it’s not clear why he use current user info and not commenter info. I’d prefer if he could email me to explain to me how his logic works.

I’m going to try adding the badges !
