Use the below example code in your theme’s functions.php file to return the number of comments. This is like count_user_posts(), but returns the number of comments instead:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | function count_user_comments($id) { global $wpdb; $users = $wpdb->get_var(" SELECT COUNT( * ) AS total FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = 1 AND user_id = $id"); return $users; } |
More: Count User’s posts (including custom post types) or comments:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | function atom_count($user_id, $what_to_count = 'post') { global $wpdb; $where = $what_to_count == 'comment' ? "WHERE comment_approved = 1 AND user_id = {$user_id}" : get_posts_by_author_sql($what_to_count, TRUE, $user_id); $from = "FROM ".(($what_to_count == 'comment') ? $wpdb->comments : $wpdb->posts); $count = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) {$from} {$where}")); return $count; } |
