comments and disqus

    I tried to install the disqus plugin for comments and started into a short cascade of problems that originate with this plugin.

    The problem is the disqus comment block wouldn’t show up at all on the footer of my posts.

    To install this plugin and get it working, I had to make a few edits to my files.

    modified twentythriteen single post.php with via WP Dashboard Theme editor for twentythriteen
    <?php twentythirteen_post_nav_author(); ?>

    and commented out the old line
    <? /* php twentythirteen_post_nav(); */ ?>

    added function twentythirteen_post_nav_author()
    to wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/functions.php

    Once I disabled the Ambrose… plugin, I got an error because post.php was calling an undeclared function twentythirteen_post_nav_author().

    I also noticed there’s a pretty big difference in one of the functions in Ambrose plugin next/prev and the regular twentythirteen one.

    regular themed one
    <?php previous_post_link( '%link', _x( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> %title', 'Previous post link', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>

    ambrose one
    <?php previous_post_link_plus( array('in_same_author' => true, 'in_same_cat' => true) ); ?>

    I was thinking perhaps Ambrose plugin is designed for an older theme or something. I had some problems with the arrows on the navigation earlier. Not a deal breaker, they just didn’t show up right.

    So, disabled plugin, uncommented and commented out to get back to default stuff and it’s working again w/out the plugin ?? ah well.

    Actually I have tested the plugin with WordPress 3.8 and it’s working fine. I don’t know where you got the idea that you had to edit your functions.php file in order to install my plugin. If you can see this in your template:

    <?php previous_post_link( '%link', _x( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> %title', 'Previous post link', 'twentythirteen' ) ); ?>

    … then that is where the code for my plugin needs to go.

    Thank you very much for the reply. Once I read that, I started sniffing around and found other errors with my installation. Somehow my all my post comments got closed. I reopened them using this page “bulk editing comments” worked great.

    I had to edit
    wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/functions.php
    because that is where the previous_post_link(xxx) code appears. In twentythirteen theme Single Post (single.php) refers to twentythirteen_post_nav();
    which only appears in that functions file.

    previous_post_link( ‘%link’, _x( ‘<span class=”meta-nav”>←</span> %title’, ‘Previous post link’, ‘twentythirteen’ ) );
    next_post_link( ‘%link’, _x( ‘%title <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘Next post link’, ‘twentythirteen’ ) );

    Is the exact code from that file.

    When I do the drop in replacement for Abrose next/previous author, it doesn’t exactly come out looking right.

    Hey, thank you very much for your attention here. I’ve given you a five star rating.

    If you want the links to look the same, you need to copy the format and link parameters over to the parameter style that my plugin accepts:

    previous_post_link_plus( array(
  'format' => '%link',
  'link' => _x( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> %title', 'Previous post link', 'twentythirteen' )
  ) );

next_post_link_plus( array(
  'format' => '%link',
  'link' => _x( '%title <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'Next post link', 'twentythirteen' )
  ) );

    Thanks for the positive rating!
