[Plugin: Disqus Comment System] How to remove View Comments?

Anyone?

Please?

Hi,

From Plugin Editor select Disqus Comment System. In disqus.php file find
‘<span class="dsq-postid-’.$post->ID.‘">View Comments</span>’;
and replace with
‘<span class="dsq-postid-’.$post->ID.‘">’.$comment_text.‘</span>’;

Doesn’t work. Now it just says ’.$comment_text.‘ on the page.

Plus when I click on “View Comments” (or whatever I may replace it with) it doesn’t take me anywhere.

@cyberquil
since 2.60 it doesn’t work.

try the following line:
return '<span class="dsq-postid">' . $post->comment_count . '</span>';

if ( dsq_can_replace() ) {
		return '<span class="dsq-postid" rel="'.htmlspecialchars(dsq_identifier_for_post($post)).'">View Comments</span>';
	} else {
		return $comment_text;
	}
}

If I leave the above version as is, then below all the headlines on my index page I get the correct comment count as specified in index.php:

‘<?php comments_popup_link(‘Leave a Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?>’

Clicking on it produces a URL ending in …/#disqus_thread and it leads to the Disqus comment section. So the index page works fine.

On my single post page, however, all I get is “View Comments” and clicking on it gives a URL that ends in …/#respond that leads nowhere UNLESS I put an ‘< a name=”respond”>’ anchor tag in the Disqus comments.php file.

If I apply your suggestion and modify the code to this:

‘if ( dsq_can_replace() ) {
return ‘<span class=”dsq-postid”>’ . $post->comment_count . ‘</span>’;
} else {
return $comment_text;
}
}’

I get “View Comments” under the headlines on my index page (= NO comment count), although clicking on it still leads to the comment section, and under the headline on my single post page I get a plain number, such as “2” without the word “comments”. Clicking on it still leads nowhere without the additional respond anchor tag.

experiencing the same problem here –

lets make some magic happen with this –

The magic that ultimately worked for me was to put a check mark next to “Output JavaScript in footer” under Advanced Options in the Disqus Dashboard.

@seferov man you are king… it just took 1 second for me to solve the error… God bless u….
