* look like the parser did not interpret the {code} tag correctly. Going to try again...

...
	if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
		$return = "{cite class='fn'}$author{/cite}";
	else
		$return = "{cite class='fn' title='$url'}{a href='$url' title='$author' class='url' rel='external nofollow' target='_blank'}$author{/a}{/cite}";
	return $return;

This is a great solution, I too have seen many template edit solutions, which is not optimal. Since I use Hybrid template system, I modified the code code a bit, and added the 'cite' tag:


...
if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
  $return = "$author";
else
  $return = "$author";
return $return;
...

Thanks!

Gotta tell you, SO glad I found this. Works like a CHARM. More people need to read this page – I’ve been all over the net dude, and a LOT of people have this problem. It seems the most popular method is editing comment-template.php – granted, it works, but it gets overwritten every time you update WP (of course). I actually had 4 or 5 WP includes I’d edited to do specific things, but had to constantly scramble to fix the overrides on every WP update. I finally whittled it all down to comment-template.php with THIS problem, and I’ve been looking for methods to fix it without digging through the source anymore.

Anyway, to cut short my rambling – you just removed the final problem, and I can finally update WP freely and no longer worry. Thanks a million! You also opened up my eyes to functions.php capabilities! Very cool!

Damn, deleting this “WORDPRESS_EDITS” folder is gonna be crazy satisfying. Peace!
