ERROR

$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$output = $pre_HTML;

foreach ($comments as $comment) {

What do i need to replace in the CODE above to fix the error?

Thank you in advance

$wpdb-> all seem like they don't belong from a pure SQL standpoint. But maybe WordPress does something different with SQL than I'm aware. I'm also unsure what .$comment_Posts; is hoping to achieve. - xQbert
thanks for your input sir - Max Yaeger
$comment_posts seems to be null - Igor Yavych
update: due to this error when i update from my dashboard (any settings) it takes upto 5mins or sometimes it will display the connection was reset. - Max Yaeger
