How can I have comments in author.php like in single.php?

Question

Is their any plugin or a workaround that will allow a registered user to comment into author.php ? Just like there is the comments template into single.php but I want that in author.php

Thank you

Answer 1

I don't believe there is such a plugin out there, though, never have researched about this.

However, you might get around this by creating a page for each author, maybe?

Answer 2

I don't know about such a plugin, you might consider to ask at wordpress answers as well or searching through the plugin directory .

Comments in wordpress need a post they are assigned to. Authors aren't a post, so a workaround could be to create a post for each user or a custom post type with comments and assign one per user. Then integrate the comments template in author.php by referencing that post of the post-type by the user.
