I posted this in programming section, but didn't get any help. That's why I am posting here. Here is one of my blog post, where the problem can be noticed.

Online Income Startup

The problem is that those that the url of commentors goes to something called "Author site", instead of the name. I want the url to be linked to the name of the commentor.

Also I also want the twitter link to show up under the name, just like it's showing up in all my comment replies. All of this is working fine in my reply to comments. You can see that my name is linked to my website and also the twitter link is visible.

Please help me fix the problem.

Thanks
Dr.Spencer Jones

    Post your comments.php file here. Make sure it is [quote] or else it'll be garbage.

    Customizing a comment output requires changes in the function that manages comment output, which is generally present in the functions.php. You need to know PHP and WORDPRESS to be able to make the necessary changes.

    ADD: You are using CommentLuv. You need to modify the comment display. You should be able to find the help at their site.

    One needs access to the theme to be able to find the solution.

      Xtrapunch Wordpress expert, Not all warriors reply this section with money in mind. Previously I've received wonderful support here, for my wordpress theme from real expert who know what they are talking about. And that's why I returned to this section for help.

      Eventhough I am not a php expert, I believe there is no need to access the entire theme files. How I know ? I tried changing the entire comment code with comment code from another theme and I was able to make the entire comment section look like the other blog's comment area, but it wasn't just what I wanted. I just wanted to make the name link appear. That's all. Regarding paying for the job, I am here because I couldn't get a reply from my web developer who did the theme for me and even if I can get him to do the job, he doesn't accept payment for little changes. Moreover, I believe I can make the changes myself, if I am guided in the right direction.

      P.S: I am expecting reply from someone who knows the stuff.

    You got me all wrong. I don't need any money from you. I keep helping people using my free themes without any monetary compensation. I would have been posting a solution right now if you would have given me your theme templates or the relevant codes. If you look at this forum, I try to help on as many threads as possible. If you want to make the changes yourself, you can read the WordPress Codex or, as I have already said, check the Comment Luv help section (if they have any). The comment output is generally managed by some function in the functions.php. You need to work on that function/code.

    PS: I have deleted the portion of my comment that you found offending. I take my words back. I didn't intend to offend you. And, I am not a self-proclaimed WordPress expert. I have several themes on WordPress.com & WordPress.org, and I have written WordPress tutorials for the top-most blogs. So I might have been able to provide you the solution.
