Customizing Comment Number

[ameeker]

Using Gary Jones' snippet to separate the comment number from the comment text (http://code.garyjones.co.uk/style-comment-number) but not getting that result. Does it look like the snippet below still works? I tried also replacing the #comments with .entry-comments since I'm using Metro Pro both in the snippet and the style sheet

add_filter( 'genesis_post_comments_shortcode', 'child_post_comments_shortcode' );
/**
 * Amend the post comments shortcode to add extra markup for styling.
 *
 * @author Gary Jones
 * @link   http://code.garyjones.co.uk/style-comment-number/
 *
 * @param string $output HTML markup, likely with shortcodes.
 *
 * @return string HTML markup.
 */
function child_post_comments_shortcode( $output ){
 
    return preg_replace('/#comments"\>(\d+) Comment/', '#comments"><span class="number">
</span> Comment', $output);
 
}

.post-comments {
	color: #333;
	font-size: 12px;
}
.post-comments .number {
	font-size: 15px;
}

Hey Angie,
Does the function change the output at all (if you're looking in your source are you seeing <span class="number">)?

The filter is still valid (see http://my.studiopress.com/docs/filter-reference/), but it looks like it accepts 2 arguments - $output, $args. Not sure if the absence of $args matters, but what do I know? 🙂

I'll see if Gary can stop by and comment...

If you've used the [post_comments] attributes of more or one to change the default to something other than "<digit><space>Comment", then it the regex won't see it.

If you want it to work for zero as well, then use [post_comments zero="0 Comments"] so it is consistent. You may need to filter this in to your genesis_post_info output (by code, or by Genesis Simple Edits.
