Post Title Added to Comment RSS Feed - WordPress Plugin

As shipped, WordPress the title of RSS-comment-feeds only include the author. This makes it real difficult to understand what a comment is about since all you have is:

  • by Joe Schmoe

as the title of a comment in your feed reader (I use Newsgator Online) and then their comment. So you get a series of comments regarding different posts from the same site, many of them looking something like this:

I really agree with you on that but you may want to check out xyz.com

I had previously hacked the WordPress code to add the title of a post to the RSS feed. I was able to remove that hack and use PostTitleInCommentRSS plugin from Scattered. I modified the plugin to output:

  • by: Joe Schmoe Re: Post Title

instead of

  • by: Joe Schmoe on Post Title
