The new WordPress 2.7 will be out soon after the previous WordPress updates I had, if you are one of the WordPress theme developer, you can get ready for the new version of WordPress 2.7. The new WordPress will bring a new visual design, which is almost completely implemented, but there are still a few areas that aren’t quite finished in their Beta 1.

WordPress 2.7

Some of the theme developer already making their way to build themes that are compatible for the new WordPress 2.7.

A reference of how to enhance your comments file, from Justin Tadlock’s early preparation for 2.7 and Otto’s WordPress 2.7 Comments enhancement.

Comments Enhancement Steps :
If you want your themes to be backward compatible, all you need to do is, check for the wp_list_comments function,

if (function_exists(’wp_list_comments’)) :
// new comments.php stuff
else :
// old comments.php stuff
endif;

While according to Justin steps, you can actually look for the functions.php, open it and add the following line :

<?php

add_filter(’comments_template’, ‘legacy_comments’);

function legacy_comments($file) {

if(!function_exists(’wp_list_comments’)) : // WP 2.7-only check

$file = TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/legacy.comments.php’;

endif;

return $file;

}

And thats all you need to filter the templates.
