Sync User Comments Posted Before Installing UM

Hello @codings,

The profile tab “Comments” retrieves comments by the user_id parameter that should match the profile owner user_id. When guests leave a comment this comment is saved with empty user_id.

You can override the comments.php template in your theme to use the author_email parameter instead of the user_id. This doc describes how to override UM templates – Template structure & Overriding templates via a theme.

Try to paste this code to the file wp-content/themes/{active_theme}/ultimate-member/profile/comments.php

<?php
/**
 * Template for the profile comments
 *
 * Copy this file to yourtheme/ultimate-member/profile/comments.php to override default comments.php template.
 *
 * @version 2.6.1
 *
 * @var int    $count_comments
 * @var object $comments
 */
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

$user_id = ! empty( $_POST['user_id'] ) ? absint( $_POST['user_id'] ) : um_profile_id();
$page    = ! empty( $_POST['page'] ) ? absint( $_POST['page'] ) : 1;

$comments = get_comments( array(
	'number'        => 10,
	'offset'        => ( $page - 1 ) * 10,
	'author_email'  => um_profile( 'user_email' ),
	'post_status'   => array('publish'),
	'type__not_in'  => apply_filters( 'um_excluded_comment_types', array('') ),
) );

if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) {
	//Only for AJAX loading posts
	if ( ! empty( $comments ) ) {
		foreach ( $comments as $comment ) {
			UM()->get_template( 'profile/comments-single.php', '', array( 'comment' => $comment ), true );
		}
	}
} else {
	if ( ! empty( $comments ) ) { ?>
		<div class="um-ajax-items">

			<?php foreach ( $comments as $comment ) {
				UM()->get_template( 'profile/comments-single.php', '', array( 'comment' => $comment ), true );
			}

			if ( $count_comments > 10 ) { ?>
				<div class="um-load-items">
					<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="um-ajax-paginate um-button" data-hook="um_load_comments"
					   data-user_id="<?php echo esc_attr( um_get_requested_user() ); ?>" data-page="1"
					   data-pages="<?php echo esc_attr( ceil( $count_comments / 10 ) ); ?>">
						<?php _e( 'load more comments', 'ultimate-member' ); ?>
					</a>
				</div>
			<?php } ?>

		</div>

	<?php } else { ?>

		<div class="um-profile-note">
			<span>
				<?php if ( um_profile_id() == get_current_user_id() ) {
					_e( 'You have not made any comments.', 'ultimate-member' );
				} else {
					_e( 'This user has not made any comments.', 'ultimate-member' );
				} ?>
			</span>
		</div>

	<?php }
}
