Safe Report Comments

This plugin gives your visitors the possibility to report a comment as inappropriate. After a set threshold is reached the comment is put into moderation where the moderator can decide whether or not he want to approve the comment or not. If a comment is approved by a moderator it will not be auto-moderated again while still counting the amount of reports.

Customizations

By default this script should hook in just fine in most existing themes as it attaches itsself after the comment-reply link via the comment_reply_link filter.
In case this does not work out you can place the flagging link manually by defining no_autostart_safe_report_comments in your themes’ functions.php file and initializing the class via $safe_report_comments = new Safe_Report_Comments(false);.

Here is an example of a custom setup via functions.php and placing the link comments callback function.

In functions.php:

//flag comments plugin included in themes' functions.php - disable plugin.
define( 'no_autostart_safe_report_comments', true );
include_once( 'replace-with-path-to/safe-report-comments/safe-report-comments.php');
// make sure not to auto-attach to comment reply link
$safe_report_comments = new Safe_Report_Comments(false);

// change link layout to have a pipe prepended
add_filter( 'safe_report_comments_flagging_link', 'adjust_flagging_link' );
function adjust_flagging_link( $link ) {
    return ' | ' . $link;
}

// adjust the text to "Report abuse" rather than "Report comment"
add_filter( 'safe_report_comments_flagging_link_text', 'adjust_flagging_text' );
function adjust_flagging_text( $text ) {
    return 'Report abuse';
}

In your custom comment callback function used by wp_list_comments: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments place the following action which will print the link.

A possible callback function could look like this:

function mytheme_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
    $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>
    
 id="li-comment-">
        

            

                ' ); ?>
                %s says:'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>
            
            comment_approved == '0') : ?>
            
            

        
        


        

        

             $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?>
