Get Author's Comments

This plugin allows to display or retrieve comments posted by a user. In order to avoid homonyms, a user is identified by his name and email(s).

Note: Get Author’s Comments uses the function wp_list_comments introduced by WordPress 2.7 for the (x)HTML output.

Usage

Display all comments of a specific user in the current post

        
    
?>

or, if piouPiouM wrote with two different emails:

        
    
?>

Display all comments posted by a user

        
    
?>

Display comments wrote by a user in the post of ID number 9

        
    
?>

Note: If you used the tags ppm_author_comments or ppm_get_author_comments whithin The Loop, the parameter $postID will be replaced automatically by the numeric ID of the current post.

Lastest comments ordered by post_ID

To show the last ten piouPiouM’s comments sorted by post_ID in ascending order, the following will display their comment date and excerpt:
