Can’t Add COMMENTS after 2.5! Please Help!

Hi again:

It works for me: , I replaced WASABI’s plugin with “Similar Posts” from https://rmarsh.com/plugins/similar-posts/ and also have Google ads but they’re included when the page is created (not in the template)

Here’s a full copy of my page.php template:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”right”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>

</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?>

<?php similar_posts(); ?>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hope it helps

I was using “RelatedPosts” found HERE

I can try and change it to Simple Tags if you think that will help. Also, my template was already google enhanced, so all I had to do was copy over their code with my own, so I didn’t change any placement of it…

AAAARRRGGHHH! This is SO frustrating!!!

I’ll check your code above against mine and see any differences.

Gonna take an ‘eye break’ and I’ll be back in a few to let you know if I’ve had an epiphany!haha (doubtful!!!haha)

Thanks!!!

Ok… I’ve copied the default theme’s single page code… and it does do the paragraph that includes “leave a reply”, BUT… here’s the code snippet. You’ll see that it’s got an http value and all it does when you click it, is keep it on that page, but the url reflects http:…../…/blah#respond in the address bar. I tried putting the pop up code in there, like I did in my header, but it must be a different code, because it wasn’t even a working link when I tried that. Any suggestions??? My blog again is: https://www.ez-entertainment.net/blog/

You can <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(); ?>" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site.

OH, by the way… I did just go with the simple tags and removed the relatedlinks plugin. Works much better! ??

Quique, muchos gracias, mi amigo!

So did you just fix a bug in WP 2.5? Impressive!

OMG!!!! I just made TWO fixes!!!! It was kind of by accident, so don’t know if that counts!!!!haha

I had copied the WP default comments.php file into my own template file, and at first… nada… then for some reason, I tried another code in the comments.php file, and nada… so, I RE-input the default template’s and VOILA! The text box is now there ON SINGLE AND REGULAR PAGES!!!!! WAAAHHOOO!!! I did keep the pop ups on the home page, just for visitors convenience… but I’m SOOOO stoked the other pages finally work and can have comments now!!! (can you tell I’m excited?!haha)

Now… if I could just fix the sub-page for the gallery shots!!!! Guess that’s next on the list!! ??

Thank you SO much Quique!!!! And, simonsopinion, I hope you got all your errors to work too!!!!

Quique… any knowledge of this new media gallery??haha

Actually… just checked the post I did as a sample with the gallery, and it too has the comment box where it didn’t before! That was my issue with it… I wanted peeps to be able to comment on pics! So, never mind!!!haha It’s already done!!!!!!! I CAN SLEEP AGAIN!haha

Hi Simonsopinion,Laura: I’m happy to hear that your problems are solved now! I don’t think I fixed a bug in WP 2.5 , it’s just a feature as most people won’t need comments on pages … Maybe it’s a deja-vu but I think I had the same issue with a previous WP version ??

About the gallery, I guess you mean the integrated image manager from WP 2.5? I haven’t tried it yet. The good old ImageManager plugin was great but unfortunately can’t make it work with 2.5 , so I went back to the old but still working IImageBrowser.

Hello to the WordPress community!

Can anybody confirm Quique’s reply that WP 2.5 Pages do not support comments (in its vanilla version)?

simonsopinion,

By “vanilla version” you mean the default theme?
If so, then yes, it is true that this template does not provide a way for users to add comments to pages. It should be as easy as calling comments_template() any where you want the comments box to display

Posts, Pages and Attachments and Gallery Images are all stored in the “posts” database table – they are practically the same thing. Comments are supported for each of them.

callaweb,
Now... if I could just fix the sub-page for the gallery shots!!!! Guess that's next on the list!! ;)
I think that you are talking about the page that will display your image fullsize after you click on it from the thumbnail grid, If so you want to look into attachment.php

<?php comments_template(); ?>

This was exactly what I needed, quiquepe. Many thanks for your help. And to callaweb, thanks for starting this thread. Sister Julie
