“&hellip” Showing in WordPress Comments 3.0

hi macmanx..

no problem with firefox. but in IE 8 or below. the &hellip will appear..

its ok in Firefox. in IE not ok.

Just to clarify, you want the ... to appear, but it does not display in IE 8 or lower?

i just want to remove the %hellip in IE… =)

the problem is like this Strange letters attached to commenters usernames

I solve the problem..

heres the solution.

1. Edit your comments.php via FTP or in your webhost control panel
Note: Do not edit your comments.php in the WordPress admin

2. its just a typo error

<?php if ($comment->comment_type == "comment") comment_author_link();
else {
strlen($comment->comment_author)?$author=substr($comment->comment_author,0,25)."&hellip":$author=substr($comment->comment_author,0,25);
echo 'comment_author_url.'">'.$author.'';

}
?>

just add ; the &hellip

it shud be like this …

3. Refresh your browser and cached.

it shud be like this

<?php if ($comment->comment_type == "comment") comment_author_link();
else {
strlen($comment->comment_author)?$author=substr($comment->comment_author,0,25)."&hellip;":$author=substr($comment->comment_author,0,25);
echo 'comment_author_url.'">'.$author.'';

}
?>

I hate to be a pest, but wasn’t that suggested by elfin in the very first reply?

hi macmanx,

yeah it was suggested by elfin. but i edit the file in the wordpress blogs, not in the webhosting file manager or f tp..

I dont know what is the problem in editing the file the WordPress admin panel.

if you edit the comments.php there, it will not affect the theme..

any idea?

It’s possible that the file’s permissions need to be set to 666 to be edited in the Appearance/Editor section, or that your server does not allow file edits via PHP.
