Correction: the mentioned plugin uses the center of the page to help with positioning of the vertical bar.

“From Center of Page (pixels) – Higher number moves bar to the left lower number to the right.”

Because every website will have different content widths, this works once the user finds how many pixels to the left the bar should be.

Ah got it. Hadn’t looked into the details of the paid version.

This was happening to me too not just with a hastag feed but with a regular user feed.

I was seeing two vertical A’s on my widgets, like this:

a
a

I found this helpful thread and disabled caching, and now the plugin works again.

Np. Check out a plugin called:

AA’s Digg Digg Alternative

They do it right…even if it doesn’t show on mobile, they have it so you can space it relative to the content. I don’t mind if it doesn’t work on mobile, as long as it doesn’t block the content.

Many people on mobile have mobile standard ways of sharing anyway.

But that plugin makes it so that it will work on desktop, relative to the content box. Check it out…maybe it helps.

Jose

So you’re saying it works if you don’t use the Apply Global (top) option?

Yes

Will not clicking the global option ensure that the plugin has an effect only on the content area?

Thank you,

Hello Mike,

I updated plugin, activated again, and tried the links. Unfortunately, threaded comments and the reply link were not working again.

Before deactivating, I went to the External Links plugin settings to see what I could find.

I unchecked “Apply these settings to all outbound links on the site except those in scripts, styles and the html head section.” in hopes that it would not apply the plugin settings to the comment links, and it worked.

Currently, with the updated plugin, activated, the reply to link and threaded comments are working.

However, I am wary to want to leave the plugin activated in fear that it might have a negative effect on other script/style links on the site without me knowing.

What do you suggest?

Thank you,
Jose

Hey Mike,

Thanks for looking into this and for explaining the problem. I see that the upgrade is available. I will try to upgrade it, check how it’s working, and report back.

Thank you,
Jose

Hello Andy,

Thank you, that worked! I think I had tried doing some css but couldn’t find what it was. Thanks for identifying that and for responding!

Jose

PS…the threaded comments that you DO see in the post were done after the deactivation of the plugin. By me and others, to test.

Jose

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

When the plugin was activated, threaded comments were not working. Also, when people clicked on “Reply”, the link would cause the window to scroll down a bit, but nothing else would happen.

When I deactivated the plugin, threaded comments begin to work again. The CSS for threaded comments simply pushes the reply about 75px to the right.

Also, when I deactivated the plugin, the reply link begin to work again. This means that when someone clicks reply, no matter where in the conversation, a reply box will appear right under the commment that will be replied to.

Here is the link to the website and to the story that went viral that unfortunately did not have threaded comments working at the time.

https://www.echoparkforums.com/2014/05/dog-owners-beware-avoid-rocket-dog-walking-echo-park-los-angeles/

the theme is a free wordpress theme called Vantage. I am using a child theme of it. The CSS that was customized in comments did not affect the CSS for threaded comments for the theme.

Either way, as you can see in the live website, with the child theme activated, threaded comments are working with the plugin deactivated.

Let me know if you need any assistance or have questions.

Thank you

Jose

I am using Vantage theme (free theme from WP), child theme, customizations.

What could cause it?

Any known conflicts with other plugins that you have seen?

Jose

Same here. Across like 4-5 sites that I manage.

A client even forwarded me the email notification about this the other day…makes it seem like i built the website wrong ??

error codes are usually 200. I’ve liked this plugin and it has worked well for me. Not sure why it started doing this all of a sudden. Maybe 4 weeks ago.

I am just now trying to research and get to the bottom of this…

Jose

I also tried in Mozilla Firefox. Here’s a screen shot, upon clicking insert into post:

Hello,

I am using Google Chrome.

I tried going to GitHub maybe the files there were more current, but they seem to be the same as here, right?

I’d love to see this plugin work. I think it’s awesome.

I don’t know why there aren’t more solutions and options for BuddyPress avatars…good job with the plugin.

Jose

Cool, looking forward to it. I update fairly quickly once I understand the changes in the log.
