Adding LinkedIn Comments Box on Wordpress

During time off, I'm working on Sensq, a LinkedIn-based 3rd party comment plugin, for our projects that were hosted with static website. Previously, I had shown how to add the LinkedIn Comments Box into Tumblr blog. In this post, I will show you how to add the LinkedIn Comments Box into Wordpress blog.

First, you need to login to Wordpress Admin dashboard. Then, go to your Theme Editor: Apperance > Theme Editor.

You need to find your wp-comments.php file. Depends on your wordpress theme, mine was near: framework > views > ethos > wp-comments.php.

Below is my modified wp-comments.php file with explanations:

<?php .... $permalink = get_permalink(); .... ?><?php /* */ ?><div id="comments" class="x-comments-area"> <iframe frameborder="0" style="border:0" src="https://app.sensq.com/#<?php echo $permalink?>" width="100%" height="600" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>

Insert $permalink = get_permalink(); between <?php and ?> , which to define the current permalink URL. Refer row 3.

$permalink: a variable name I choose, can be any other name.

get_permalink();: a php function to get the URL of current page displayed (useful for single pages and posts, and only works inside the loop).

Use <?php /* and */ ?> to comment out the php+html code for original comment code. Refer row 6-7.

Insert the Sensq LinkedIn Comments Box iframe html code, refer row 8-10.

That’s all. Now save your Wordpress theme by clicking Update File button. You can start using LinkedIn Comments for your Wordpress blog!

I would suggest you to Discussion Settings to disable Discussion for anyone (Settings > Discussion).

Do you have any problem regarding this plugin, installing the script or anything else? Share your questions below, so we can solve those problems together.
