Statistics and user's nick protected in comments

1) If are logs already made (it’s already long time, I know), it could count unique IP addresses – it’s easy, and viewing

2) Anybody can comment under my nname – it should be protected – if someone wants to comment under some name as some user has, it should wants to password.

@ #2: So anyone named “Joe” shouldn’t be allowed to comment on “Joes’s” blog?

No no, may be my english is not so good, but I though that if someone has username “Joe” so anyone other could comments as “Joe”

Re: Statistics and user's nick protected in comments

Er, that’s still the same thing…?

My name is “Mary”. My username might be “Mary”, but it might not be (shouldn’t really, make it harder to gain access to your blog). Anyone named “Mary” can comment and their name appears as “Mary”, but that’s just a comment, they don’t gain access to your content itself.

What you’re after is likely some way of highlighting your replies, to separate them from comments by someone else named Joe.

OK. But my nick on my blog is “Ji31”. And anyone who wants, can comment under my article with my name…

What do you mean? There is the login or username, which is separate from your “name”, and that’s on purpose. But what I said still stands.

Re: Statistics and user's nick protected in comments

Yes. I know. But for WP exists a plugin, which not allow to use the name of user for comments without password. So if you have your username “Joe” and someone other wants to comment some article and will write “Joe”, it will write something like this: “This name is reserved for admin/user of this blog. Please use other.”
Ok?

Re: Statistics and user's nick protected in comments

I think what he means is that there should be a way to assign a unique username for anyone who wants to comment on his site,much like on this forum. No one can post as mary here except for mary.

Something like mem_self_register only instead of registering to add content to the site, it would register a user for comments only.

As for #1, I use Mint for short term stats but there are many free options available. phpmyvisites is also good.

Not exactly: what I want is, that only admin’s username is protected by the password…automatically, or by some plugin. Not any registering..

Re: Statistics and user's nick protected in comments

I think that if you’d either have to do all or none on that, but I’m not a guru like others here so I could be wrong.

Here’s an alternative; use a different style for the layout of your personal comments on your articles. Enclose your comment in a div that either calls a different form or style sheet property.

Here’s an example on Mike Davidson’s site If you look at his comments, they are styled different than the outside commenters.
