Switching Comments Plugin

Which plugin were you using, and which plugin do you plan to switch to?

currently using the Jetpack comment plugin and we are planning on switching to wpDiscuz – WordPress Comments..

My apologies, the current plugin in we are using is the “wpDiscuz – WordPress Comments” plugin and we wanted to change it to “Comments Evolved for WordPress” as it’s more social.

Ok, any plugin you start using should be able to import comments from WordPress’s comments system, which means that as long as the comments are still in WordPress’s system, you should have no problem.

At the moment, I can’t find anything suggest that wpDiscuz has its own separate comment system.

If the comments appear in the Comments section of your blog’s Dashboard, it should be safe to move.

Hi curiouswriter,

You can make “Comments Evolved” compatible with wpDiscuz it should be changed from “Comments Evolved” side, it can’t be done from wpDiscuz.

Please open includes/templates/partials/wordpress.php file in “Comments Evolved for WordPress” plugin folder, find this code:

if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php')) {
	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php';
} elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php')) {
	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php';
}

And change it to this:

if(file_exists(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/comment-form/form.php')){
	include_once ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/comment-form/form.php';
}elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php')) {
	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php';
} elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php')) {
	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php';
}
