Hide and Show Comments on Wall and in Newsfeed

[Kamil]

Hallo,

I have a problem with hidding comments in the activity stream.
I found a code to hide and show the comments and it works but if i use the code the like count is gone.

This is the code i use:

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'add_comment_hide_show' );
function add_comment_hide_show() {
    ?>
    <style>
    .activity-comments ul{display: none;}
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function($) {
      setInterval(function() {
        $('.activity-meta').each(function() {
           if( !$(this).find('.show-comments').length ){
            var html = '<a href="#" class="button bp-primary-action show-comments">Show/Hide Comments</a>';
            $(this).find('.button.acomment-reply').after(html);
           }
        });

      }, 500);

      $('body').on('click', '.show-comments', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
	var obj = $(this).closest('.activity-content').next('.activity-comments').find('ul');
	obj.slideToggle();
        return false;
      });

    });
    </script>
    <?php
}

Is there another way to hide and show comments?

Or how can i show the like count ?

Sincerely,
Max

Hwdy Kamil!

this should do the trick.

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'add_comment_hide_show' );
function add_comment_hide_show() {
    ?>
    <style>
        .activity-comments ul li[id^="acomment-"]{display: none;}
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(function($) {
            setInterval(function() {
                $('.activity-meta').each(function() {
                    if( !$(this).find('.show-comments').length ){
                        var html = '<a href="#" class="button bp-primary-action show-comments">Show/Hide Comments</a>';
                        $(this).find('.button.acomment-reply').after(html);
                    }
                });

            }, 500);

            $('body').on('click', '.show-comments', function(e) {
                e.preventDefault();
                var obj = $(this).closest('.activity-content').next('.activity-comments').find('ul li[id^="acomment-"]');
                obj.slideToggle();
                return false;
            });

        });
    </script>
    <?php
}

Cheers!

Thank you for the answer 😀 .

The code works but if there are more than 5 comments for e.g. 8 , the last 3 comments are not hidden.

With the old code all comments are hidden.
———–
And is there an option that all comments are shown because if i use the code (the old code) all commets are hidden but only the first 5 comments be displayed if i click on show. To see all commets i have to click after that on show all (e.g.) 8 comments.

Thanks 🙂

Hi @madmax94,
These are small customization you can easily use your developer or 3rd party service to do them
For small customization you can also use https://codeable.io/

Is there an updated version of either of these codes?

Neither of them seem to work for me with Boss Theme and Wall plugin.

This works great until someone Likes a post, then Show/Hide freezes for the rest of the page. Any ideas what might be causing that?
