Buddy Press & BBPress

Hi @lmstearn, glad you like the name ??

This plugin will only impact the default WordPress comments form. So that will be blog posts and pages normally. However you may wish to try viewing a Buddy/BBpress post after activating the plugin to double check. You can always disable the plugin after and it will revert the comments back to normal, none of the comments are deleted from the old system and can be brought back safely like that.

Hope that helps

Just a quickie – the Front\Static page for the site doesn’t show Disqus content at all, yet the Moderate Disqus Comments is there. The page is set at the Default Template, Disqus docs say it works with Blogs – would that ever be a problem. In which case, the “Alternative Blog” for Twenty Twenty Three has a post date, post title but no body, which doesn’t sound right. Definitely does not work.

Or does Disqus want the actual page slug referenced in the setup instructions?

Also followed this article:

There are hacks in this old thread:

Worth pursuing, or perhaps the universal code has a trick?

Thanks again.

Are comments enabled for the page which is set as the homepage? You can check this by using the Quick Edit button for that particular page when viewing the list of pages in the dashboard:

If so, and Disqus is still now showing, I may need to take a closer look at how Disqus is running on static homepages. We may be able to add this functionality in the next update.

Yes, it’s checked, and sounds good, thanks! ??

After a quick trawl, couldn’t find much evidence of a mixed BBPress/BuddyPress & Disqus setup – is it actually possible for Disqus to operate at all in this arrangement?

Also raised the issue over there, being a new poster, it isn’t appearing in any of their tagged channels yet.

Apologies for the extra postings – any luck with the static pages?

Came across @mdawaffe‘s reply in this thread:

If ALL pages

1. copy page.php (in your current theme’s directory) to page.old.php
2. copy single.php to page.php (now you see why we made a backup)
3. Tada. If you want the sidebar back, you’ll have to find the class="widecolumn" and replace it with class="narrowcolumn" and then put: <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
 right above <?php get_footer(); ?>

If SOME pages

1. Do the same thing, but instead of overwriting page.php copy single.php to a new file: pagecomm.php
2. Edit pagecomm.php to include the appropriate Template Name hook (you might read the whole article while you’re there)
3. Edit the Page in question and tell it to use the new Template you’ve just created by selecting the new Template from the “Page Template” dropdown 

Is that the kind of thing that has to be done? Also looks like more hoops and hurdles with the Universal code, Pip would be so much better than the manual setup.

Hope it happens, thanks.
