Looking for an Admin Comment Highlight plugin.

Why bother? Try editing your CSS to use the bypostauthor class.

Now how would I do this? I am a complete noob at knowing what bypostauthor class is.

Any help or general direction will mean lots.

Thanks.

I’ve no idea what would suit your site but adding this to the bottom of your stylesheet should get you going:

#commentlist .bypostauthor {background-color:red;}

It didn’t seem to work. I added that in the bottom of the .css file. Does it have to do with my alternating comment background colors? It changes from white to grey every other comment (this was part of theme).

Probably. You’ll need to build the alternation classes into the above. Eg:

#commentlist .even .bypostauthor,#commentlist .odd .bypostauthor {background-color:red;}

– which assumes that you’re using the .odd and .even comment classes.

Does it matter if I’m using a Blueprint .css theme? It’s based differently than a normal single .css document?

No idea. I’d need to see your site. Url?

Do you have a link to a page containing an author’s comments?

I’m comment #5

I can’t see the bypostauthor class on that page. Does that theme use a custom comment list? Have a look in comments.php and what is used with wp_list_comments.

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

	if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
		if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
			?>

			<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>

			<?php
			return;
		}
	}

	/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
	$oddcomment = 'class="comments-alt" ';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
	<h2 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'Responses', 'Responses' );?></h2>

	<div class="small">
		<span class="feedlink"><?php comments_rss_link('Feed'); ?></span>
		<?php if ('open' == $post-> ping_status) { ?><span class="trackbacklink"><a href="<?php trackback_url() ?>" title="Copy this URI to trackback this entry.">Trackback Address</a></span><?php } ?>
	</div>

	<ol class="commentlist">

	<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

		<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
			<?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar($comment, '40'); } ?>
			<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> says:
			<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
			<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
			<?php endif; ?>

	<?php
		/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
		$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="comments-alt" ' : '';
	?>

	<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

	</ol>

 <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

	<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

That’s an old comments template. Try replacing everything from <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?> to <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?> with <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>.

Ok, that screwed with the template too much, text were bunched up, and so was date and times.

Darn!

Ok – try going back to your original comments template but change:

<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

to

<li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
