 * Hi everyone!
 * I’m having a problem separating my **pingbacks** from my **comments** on my posts,
   due to the fact that my theme doesn’t seem to be using the standard “**wp_list_comments**”
   function.
 * I’m using the latest **2.9.x** version.
    this is an excerpt from my **comments.
   php** file: What could be done here? (Sorry if it’s a bit long, not sure about
   where the interesting area is)
 * ———————————————————————-
 * <ol class=”commentlist”>
    <h3 class=”comments”><?php comments_number(‘No Responses’,‘
   One Response’, ‘% Responses’ );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>
 *  <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
 *  <li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id=”comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>”>
    <cite><?php
   comment_author_link() ?></cite> Says: <?php if ($comment->comment_approved ==‘
   0’) : ?> _Your comment is awaiting moderation._ <?php endif; ?>
 *  <?php edit_comment_link(‘edit’,’  ‘,”); ?></small>
 *  <?php comment_text() ?>
 *  <?php
    /* Changes every other comment to a different class */ $oddcomment = (
   empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? ‘class=”alt” ‘ : ”; ?>
 *  <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
 * —————————————————————
 * Thanks a lot!
