    Hello! I made some changes to my comments lately (changed font formatting, comment margin/padding and moved the gravatar from the left to the right side), and noticed a strange side effect. Now the author's names are cut short, like there's a character limit imposed on them. I believe this is a new issue related to the changes I made, but I could be wrong. I just noticed it.

    You can see a few examples in the comments here: http://cookieandkate.com/2011/blueberry-lavender-lemonade/ Several of the commenter's names end abruptly.

    Please let me know if you have any clues how to fix the issue! Thank you!

    It probably has to do with some changes you made, neither thematic nor wordpress has any character limit on commenters names that I know of. But normal css tweaks are not enough for this change, it has do be done with code. Have you made any changes to functions.php? Could it be a plugin?

    actually you can see in the source code that there IS a limit on the length of the URL field, but it is something like 50 characters so i can't see why that'd be tripping you up.

    middlesister, I have made some changes to my functions.php, but none that I know of that would limit the characters. The character limit on my commenter's names is now 20, not 50 like it should be. I searched through my functions.php and didn't find "20" in there. I have installed a couple of plugins recently, but none that are related to comments. I'm lost.

    I'm still stuck. I tried inserting this code into my functions.php to increase the character count from 20 to 45, but it didn't work.


    add_filter('get_comment_author', create_function('$author','return substr($author,0,40);'));

    Any more ideas?
