@astgh ok ! Thanks for your answer and our time. Then, some one of you team can do that service (paying I mean) for me in my web?

Hi Javier Pardos,

We're really sorry, but for the second question, there is no easy solution we can share here.

Hi Javier Pardos,

1 . By default, before searching for any keyword, it shows the first 5 comments. How can I make it display for example 10?

You should change the value of the "Number of comments to show:" option.

6460

2 . When searching for a keyword, the results show avatar author , author name, lesson title (+ link) and an excerpt from the comment. How can I make that excerpt not only show the beginning of the comment and an elpipsis type "..." but rather show the part of the comment where the keyword appears with its "Highlight search text in live results"? Even, How can you configure the number of words in the excerpt?

I'll ask the developers if there is an easy way for this.

Hello, I have an online academy. In each of the lessons (which are CPTs), I have activated wordpress comments below, which in turn are replaced by the wpdiscuz design/system. So my students can ask questions of each of the lessons. In each of those "forums", they use the "search" addon that wpdiscuz incorporates, to search for keywords in the comments of that lesson. So far perfect.

But now, I've created a page where I can embed a search engine so students can search for keywords in ALL the academy comments. After going crazy trying to find a solution, I've discovered that while wpdiscuz doesn't use shortcodes for this purpose, it does incorporate a "search comments widget" that can be added to the sidebars.

But finally I have been able to add it as a widget at the end of a post, which I will use as if it were a page. And it worked perfect.

But I need 2 things:

1 . By default, before searching for any keyword, it shows the first 5 comments. How can I make it display for example 10?

2 . When searching for a keyword, the results show avatar author , author name, lesson title (+ link) and an excerpt from the comment. How can I make that excerpt not only show the beginning of the comment and an elpipsis type "..." but rather show the part of the comment where the keyword appears with its "Highlight search text in live results"? Even, How can you configure the number of words in the excerpt?

I guess tweaking functions or css, or something... yes, it could not?

I appreciate the help on these two questions.

Thank you !
