FAQs / Tips / Common Issues

Badge not showing in comment form

1. User has set the plugin to use the template insert and not added the code to the comment form. Solution is to uncheck the ‘use template insert’ in the commentluv settings page.

2. The users theme does not have the do_action for the comment form in their theme.
Solution is to edit the themes comments.php file to use do_action(‘comment_form’,$post->ID); in the file before the closing form tag.
#

Not adding last blog posts to existing comments

The plugin will only add last blog post links to comments made after the plugin has been installed. Existing comments do not get links. #

Admin is not seeing the tick in the checkbox despite setting the plugin to be on automatically

The plugin is set to uncheck the box for a logged on administrator even if automatic on is enabled. #

User is seeing 'no last blog posts to return'

There are three potential issues here:

1. You have not registered at comluv.com, and/or your site does not have an autodiscovery feed in their theme header. The solution here is to add autodiscovery to the theme or to specify the feed URL at ComLuv’s Members Area.

2. Your site’s feed is slow to respond or is presenting another error. You can view the error message explanation by clicking the down arrow next to the message and following the instructions.

3. Your site/account has a ban in place due to too many errors. Registered ComLuv users can visit the unban page at comluv.com to release the ban. #

How to change avatar photo

Avatar is grabbed from www.gravatar.com , user needs to register their email address at www.gravatar.com and upload a picture. #

user has registered but not seeing 10 links to choose when they comment

1. user has registered with www in the url but isn’t using www when they comment (or vice versa)
2. user has registered at http://comluv.com/member/ but has set to return only 1 post, solution is to set 10 posts to be returned on the member page. #

Nothing happens when comment is made, not even an error message

User has not used http:// to begin their url or has not entered a url. Solution is to always use http:// at the beginning of their site url when they comment. #

Last blog post is out of date or days old

1. view your current feed in your own browser, see if your feed has been updated with your latest posts.
2. Register at comluv.com/member/ and add your feed url
3. Validate your feed at http://beta.feedvalidator.org to check your feed is valid. #
