I have reviewed the underlying code and found a few small changes which allow Digressit to work on WP 4.0+.
These steps are what worked for me, I have not fully test 100% of the functionality of the plugin, but it restored front end functionality for my site.
Step 1) Comment out outdated Google CDN jquery load
if (!is_admin()) {
// wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
// wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js');
}line 715, 716 in core-functions.php /wp-content/plugins/digressit/core/core-functions.php
This could be replaced by current CDN url, but just commenting out both lines works fine.
Step 2) Fix small mistake in JS
Replace:
form_id+' . loading-bar , #'+form_id
With
form_id+' .loading-bar, #'+form_id
Line 8 and Line 19 of /wp-content/plugins/digressit/core/js/digressit.core.min.js
]]>Anyone could tell me why the comment interface don’t show up when i click the paragraph? It only happens at Google Chrome. Other browsers are ok.
Thanks in advance.
]]>This 2-year old version of digress.it is completely broken with WordPress 3.5.1.
From the admin bar on the top messed up, to the commenting bubbles not actually clicking, and a duplicated set (that also isn’t click active) on the left… even the website digress.it has also been down for the past week. This is probably abandonware?
]]>I can’t seem to get my comment to post, I’ve had a bit of a play with my comment settings, tried on a couple of posts and both logged in and out with no luck…any suggestions appreciated (blog is here )
]]>Has anyone used digress it with Themes other than the one it seems to install? I was not expecting this but I was on a test site and did not read all the documentation beforehand. Has anyone integrated this plugin with K2?
]]>Well.. It just destroyed all the font configuration on all pages of my site ! Thank you
]]>can’t activate plugin
]]>Out of the box in this scenario, digress.it navigation menu items ‘COMMENTS’, ‘COMMENTERS’, AND ‘GENERAL COMMENTS’ send you back to the root domain onclick.
Those links need an href aware of the digress.it site’s location. They are lis in the front_menu ul, in the top_bar div, in header.php, lines 101, 103, and 105.
Without thinking much about it, I saw the apparently equivalent links in the ‘CommentBrowser’ widget worked and on line 101, changed the href from
"/?comment-browser=posts"
to
"<?php echo $this->wp_path; ?>/?comment-browser=posts"
but that gives Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in…
Instead, to get them working change the relevant bit of line 101 to…
<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>?comment-browser=posts"
and equivalents in 103 and 105.
Thank you @visudo et al. BG
