Hello,
I am currently making a forum and I'd like to link it with my comment system. I have bought the plugin nescessary but unfortunately it is not working.
It does make a new topic, but I really much would like to make it more integrative so that people see the reactions already and post directly into the forum. Right now it gives a link under the article but doesn't show the forum comments (although it counts it). You can find the website here:
Luckyclover . biz
If you take the latest news article you can see what I mean 🙂 Thanks!!

Sorry I'm not 100% sure I follow. I've taken a look at the site and it's hard to tell what's what, could you please link to a post that's been made using the blog linking plugin? Feel free to post actual URL's.

Of course.
I have created a post
http://www.luckyclover.biz/mik.....lsingborg/
which created a topic (so far so good)
http://www.luckyclover.biz/for.....ngborg/#p3
But then there are some things that aren't right. For example: I created a comment using the regular comment section which should show up on the forum and vice versa (forum reply that should show up as a comment). Unfortunately it doesn't work (I used the 'mixed' option). It does say (below the post) that there are 2 comments, but when you open it it only shows the one comment (and not the forumreply).
Hope that's clear 🙂 Thanks!

I have a suspicion that this might come down to the WP theme. The way it is handling comments looks to be pretty unique and different to more standard themes. I see that bbPress didn't do what you wanted either.
If you are able to switch to one of the WP default themes to test it out it would be useful diagnostics.

That indeed 'solves' the problem. 🙁 What should I do now?

As I don't know how technical you are I will try and be simplistic (just in case!) I also don't know how well you know WordPress.
WP 'talks' to plugins via what are called hooks. Think of them as messages. When something happens in WP it broadcasts a message (hook) then informs plugins that the event happened. Plugins can then act on those messages. When it comes to blog post comments, there are - for example hooks named:
'wp_set_comment_status', 'comment_post' and 'edit_comment'
to name 3 that blog linking makes use of.
If a plugin replaces a part of default WP core code then that plugin needs to honour the hooks that it is replacing by making exactly the same calls/broadcast. This ensures other plugins continue to function. My guess (and it is only an educated guess of course) is that the code replacing the normal comment processing in your theme is not sending out the messages. I would suggest that the first port of call should be the theme authors to firstly ask them if this diagnosis is correct and, if so, then ask them if they can add back in what they should not have left out in the first place.

Hello,
Thanks a lot 🙂 The maker says this:
Hi, unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that all plugins will be 100% compatible with the theme. So, if you have any issues with the plugin compatibility, the only thing I can suggest is that you get in touch with the plugin developer.
If you want to remove the default comments section of the theme, you can add this to the Custom CSS section of your Flex Mag Options:
#comments-button,
#disqus_thread,
#comments {
display: none;
}
Is there any easy way to get the thing what I want with a short CSS code?

Well - there you go. The buck is passed!
Disqus is, I am afraid, completely non-standard as far as WordPress is concerned. Yes - it can be shoehorned in quite easily but no - it does not support or adhere to WordPress API and proper protocols. Nothing, I am afraid, is going to work with disqus unless the programmers of the plugin make it so.
Sorry for that news. It is always a risk when using non-WP compliant components and I really wish theme and plugin authors would not do it - or at least would provide alternatives that do behave.
