I have just installed this on a new wordpress install.

First, if you get the warning about curl you need…

php7.3-curl

For it to crawl your site you need…

php7.3-dom

And to compress your files…

php7.3-zip

This was on a Debian 9 install using php7.3

I’m having the same issue with Akismet.

All other plugins are disabled.

Found a solution in this post…

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/comments_by_type-problems?replies=7#post-1819762

Altered comments.php in three places as follows…

$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments);
$commentsCount = count($comments_by_type['comment']);

<?php if($showComments): ?>
	<div id="arjuna_comments" class="contentBox active">
		<?php
		$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments);
		if (!empty($comments_by_type['comment'])) { ?>

<?php if($showTrackbacks): ?>
	<div id="arjuna_trackbacks" class="contentBox<?php if($arjunaOptions['comments_hideWhenDisabledOnPages']) print ' active'; ?>">
		<?php
		$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments);
		if (!empty($comments_by_type['pings'])) { ?>

In each case I added …

$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments);

Excellent.

This fixed comment issues I was having with arjuna-x 1.5.3

Thank you again.

More of a workaround. Some comment features of the newer version are missing.

When I get time I’m go to look into it further. Either the newer comments.php has broken logic or the options are not being set in or read from the database.

I found that copying comments.php from the 1.3.9 version to the 1.5.3 version I I’m able to view comments on pages.

Can’t help with the 55 word limit but as your using 1.5 (1,5,3?) can I ask if comments appear on pages? For me they don’t.

So you may try deactivating ALL plugins

When it failed on my site I created a test site with a fresh install of wp 3.0.1

No plugins. One page added plus two comments. All shows fine. Installed Arjuna 1.5.3. Page comments disappear but are still in the Admin area.

Another test install same as above. Arjuna 1.3.9 installed. Page comments still visible.
