Edit comment goes to the standard wordpress comment editor

  • Hello,

    I have made my own custom theme and I tried to install this plugin. Everything works, only editing the comment itself doesnt work. I really dont know whats the problem.

    Edit: the edit button works but it sends me to the normal wordpress edit page

    Edit link in functions php
    <?php edit_comment_link(__(' Edit ')) ?>

    Do I need set something else to edit? (Sorry that im so vague but there is 0 documentation for this plugin)

    Hi Pandafoxxxx,

    WP Editor Comments Plus binds itself to specific IDs to replace the default comments with instances of TinyMCE. If you have a custom theme, I’ve added fields in the plugin settings to change the ID elements to match the theme’s element IDs. If you choose the Twenty Sixteen theme, you can see where the IDs are in the various templates.

    The edit_comment_link() function displays a link to WordPress’s edit form. It’s unrelated to the custom Edit button this plugin inserts.

    If the comment isn’t getting edited, the first place I would check is to see if your theme and the WP ECP admin settings have the proper IDs matching.

    I do something right because I see a div showing up in #reply with <div class="wpecp-edit" data-wpecp_comment_id="16"></div> but there arent any links or buttons inside. The comment text gets placed inside the wpecp_comment_content but the div under there <div class="wpecp-editor" data-wpecp_comment_id="16"></div> is empty. I have set the comment reply link to the correct div and the comment textarea to the correct div.

    Update: I have copied the code from the twentyten LITTERLY to my theme and it still doesnt work… I also tried to use the standard wordpress code <?php wp_list_comments(''); ?> and no succes either

    Looking at your theme, there are some comment IDs missing when comparing to the twenty sixteen theme. These IDs are standard across most themes so the plugin should work with most themes. In your case with a custom theme the IDs would have to be matched up to the correct elements. Classes may work too.

    Try adding id=”comments” to your .standardc-comments class element. Then check that the other IDs are set correctly in WP Editor Comments Plus Settings.
