Otto, who is a well known and respected member of the WordPress community has published a pretty cool article (WordPress 2.7 Comment Enhancements) which explains the various comment enhancements that have made it to the core of WordPress 2.7 thus far. Otto’s reasoning behind the post was to allow theme authors to gain a head start on creating themes which will be compatible with WordPress 2.7. One thing to keep in mind while reading this article is that, this information was compiled from using the latest developmental version of WordPress 2.7. This means things may not be set in stone with further additions or retractions possible before the initial release.
Here are some of the enhancements that Otto covers:
- Creating a 2.7 compatible comments.php file
- Password protection check
- The comments loop
- The power of Ajax
- Styling
Thanks Otto.
Thanks for the heads up!
Check out shoemoney’s post on this last week complete with screenshots. Pretty great looking stuff!

Nice article. Good shots of it. I posted some early shots of the 2.7 plugin installer a few weeks ago too. It’s changed a bit since then, but not enough to make the screenshots invalid:

I’m looking forward to 2.7… I’m sure it will be another great release! Cheers.
