How to Automatically Add a Signature to Admin Comments

Are you looking for a way to display a signature after each admin comment? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to automatically add a signature to admin comments in WordPress.

You may need to update the ID number, the default is set to ‘1’ and of course change the text displayed within the signature.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

add_filter( 'comment_text', 'my_comment_text' );
function my_comment_text( $mytext ) {
	$id = get_comment(get_comment_ID())->user_id;
	global $comment;
	if($id == 1 ){
		$mytext = get_comment_text( $comment ) . '<hr />Test comment text!';
	}else{
		$mytext = get_comment_text( $comment );
	}
	return $mytext;
}
