Move Comments

WordPress does not have an option to move comments between posts or pages. Move Comments is a WordPress plugin that allows comments to be moved from one page or post to another.

It adds a sub-page under ‘Comments’ where you can filter comments by post or page title, tick the ones you want to move and finally select where to move them to.

Download

The plugin is provided as a compressed zip file. You can use any program that can uncompress zip files (like IZArc or StuffIt) to extract the plugin.

Download Social Bookmarks

Latest version: 1.2

Installation Instructions

Extract the download on your computer and upload the move_comments folder to wp-content/plugins/. Finally, enable the plugin from the ‘Plugins’ page.

Submit a Problem or Feature Request

If you have downloaded the plugin and either you spotted a problem with it or have an idea for a new feature, then please submit it to Bugtracker rather than posting a comment in the web site.

Don’t forget to include as much information as possible and check whether someone else has submitted the same issue before you press the submit button.

    I just started a niche blog and couldn’t make sense of why my first commenter would leave the comment where they did. I had never realized this problem in WP before, but didn’t dream there would be a plugin for moving it until I completely stumbled on your “move comments” plugin today. It worked like a charm. You’ve made my day! Thanks!

    Thanks for the plugin, I had been planning something similar but now I
    don’t need to!

    I just thought I’d point out a slight issue with 2.6: they’ve introduced
    version control, which I think is a pain and will disable. However, this
    means the plugin is showing up multiple posts with the same title, and if a
    comment is moved to an old version, it is invisible (although it can be
    moved again). This isn’t your fault, but you probably need a check to make
    sure the plugin only displays the current posts in the menus.

  25. John P. says:
    August 13, 2008 at 20:38

    @Jonathan…good catch. Here’s a simple fix to solve the revision problem. In moco_db.php, we need to modify the function get_all_posts(). Change the following:

    from $wpdb->posts
    order by id desc

    to

    from $wpdb->posts
    WHERE post_status = 'publish'
    order by id desc

    That will do the trick!

    Thanks for the plugin. After activation, I found this feature is for admin only so I de-commented the line ” if(current_user_can(‘moderate_comments’))” in the movecomments.php and I got a fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user(). Any idea how to fix that?

    I used your plug in to move a comment that had not yet been approved, to a post that did not yet have any comments. The comment is now lost, I cannot find it anywhere. I see it in the mysql database, but cannot find it in the wordpress blog.

    Any ideas?

    The recent upgrade to version 2, is that for any particular reason, will version 2 still be compatible with wordpress 2.6?

  33. John P says:
    December 18, 2008 at 16:54

    Be careful. There is a totally different plugin called “Move Comments” which is what you’ll get when you click the “update automatically” link on your blog plugins page. Since Apostolos’ plugin isn’t hosted at WordPress.org, you can’t update it automatically.

  34. Patung says:
    December 19, 2008 at 20:33

    Ok well I still have version 1, but it doesn’t seem to work in 2.7.

    Is it possible to implement two features?

    1. Order posts and pages by title instead of post_ID in the combo boxes (I think it gets more friendly);
    2. An option to change a comment parent ID, so we could fix threading problems (people that reply to a comment without clicking on the corresponding “reply” link).

    Other than that: great plugin! THANKS!

    Wonderful plugin, thank you!

    One request – could you possibly add a “check all” link so that one could easily move all the comments from one post to another? Having to check each manually can take a long time. :)

    Thank you again!!

    Hello, working on http://www.preguntasdeportes.com and was wondering how to move a specific comment from one post to another. You see it seems the pluggin only moves the whole section, was wondering if im missing something or if you recomend something. Other than that, the pluggin seems to have worked wonderfully in terms of co-existing with other pluggins.
    Congrats and thank you,
    aguitta

    I’m using your plugin and I like it very much. However, something odd has now happened when I move the comments from one post to another.

    The default order of comments I have is earliest to most recent. I’ve noticed that when I move comments to a post which already has some comments, that the moved comments are placed in a “more recent” position, that is, toward the bottom, even if they occurred in real time earlier.

    So when new comments are added to that post, they are placed in the middle (before the moved comments), not at the end, which is where they should be.

    any ideas?

  48. Jane says:
    October 15, 2009 at 5:09

    Like the plugin…Very helpful and simple to use.

    Discovered ONE problem with it:

    Say you move a comment from one page to another, and on that moved TO page there are comments that were made AFTER the “moving” comment: where that “moved” comment had a parent comment…On the new page, the recently moved comment shows up out of date/chronological order. The database can’t figure out where to put it, so it shows up last, even when you have your comments configured to have most recent comment last. This “moved” (though earlier) comment still shows up last, even after comments made later.

    This really confuses readers who are naturally looking at the end of the comments for their most recent comment. (or vice versa, depending on how you’ve configured it.)

    I had to go into the database and edit “parent” from its parent comment ( e.g. 222) to “0″, indicating no parent. Then the comment was placed (and any child comments) in the right order, chronologically.

  49. Jane says:
    October 15, 2009 at 5:11

    On my above problem, sorry you weren’t there to provide any tech support. I can “fix” it but it would be nice if you could address this problem for other users who don’t want to or who don’t know how to fuss with the database .sql file.
