How to display author meta and count numbers for each user in comment.php?

Question

All users are registered to comment on the site, so what I want to achieve is, to display user details like the meta info, description, url, etc... So, if possible also the number of posts and comments published in the comment.php template.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Getting user's metas values :

$user_meta = get_user_meta($user_id, 'YOUR_META_KEY', TRUE); //You have to set the $user_id / And the "YOUR_META_KEY" can be description, name, custom meta...

To get user's comments count

function commentCount($userId = null) {
    global $wpdb;

    if($userId == null) return 0;

    $count = $wpdb->get_var('
             SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) 
             FROM ' . $wpdb->comments. ' 
             WHERE user_id = "' . $userId . '"');
    return (int)$count;
}

Finally, to get user's posts count

$user_post_count = count_user_posts( $userId , 'post' );
