Unhappy with my theme’s comment display, I recently re-coded a sexier comment display as a plugin so others can sexify their comments as well.
Features
- Forum-thread-like comment layout: User information to the left, comment to the right.
- Author post highlighting
- Altered Trackback/Pingback Display Formating
- Avatars
- Either display/hide avatars
- Select your avatar service of choice (Gravatar is the only option until I find more avatar services)
- Specify maximum avatar dimension
- Customize default/trackback avatars
- “Number of Comments” Message Customization
- CSS Overriding
Installation
- Download and unzip the sexycomments.zip
- Place sexycomments folder in your wp-content/plugins directory
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel and activate the plugin, then visit the SexyComments submenu of the plugins tab.
- Customize the settings until you have something that works for you.
- Locate the template file(s) in your theme that loops over and displays comments. Remove that comment output loop and replace with:
< ?php sexycomments_print($comments); ?>
NOTE: Be sure not to touch the section that generates the form for adding comments! This plugin does not re-create the comment creation form.
- Lastly, consider disabling the plugin CSS and taking the example CSS provided and customize it to suit your theme’s color scheme.
- You should be all set, now! w00t w00t! Go make a Gravatar account if you don’t already have one and upload an avatar.

Hey, guy, GRRRREAT Plugin!
The only trouble I have is that when I switch to gravatar support, there is no insertion of the default image for people who don´t use a gravatar account!?

Sorry, Not sure I understand which part to replace in the comments.php file. I thought I did it right (saw the new comments box with grayed out avatar) but it wouldn’t let me comment so I think I’m not doing something right…(also didn’t do anything when i clicked on the reply to comment part.)
How do I find “the comment output loop”? Can you give me an example of what I’m looking for?
Thanks in advance =)
That plugin is what I needed. Thanks!
