Thanks for the great question.
This is handled through cookie tracking, and Quick Cache does not do anything custom in this regard. WordPress already sets a cookie called "comment_author", even with just a default installation ( no plugins ). In other words, Quick Cache detects the presence of the "comment_author_HASH" cookie.
The default timeout for this cookie, can be found inside /wp-comments-post.php
- Code:
$comment_cookie_lifetime = apply_filters('comment_cookie_lifetime', 30000000);
So it's just over 1 year by default; but this can be modified through a WP Filter if needed.Statistics: Posted by Jason Caldwell — August 4th, 2010, 10:22 pm
