    Hello,

    I can’t get PTM AJAX Comments to work in my theme. I checked the FAQ and I believe all the necessary tags ad ID’s are there.
    Also the plugin works fine in the twentyten theme. So there are no plugins conflict.

    But confusing is it when I override the “comments.php” in the twentyten theme with my own “comments.php” the plugin works fine. It’s the same code it use (no function.php), but it only works in the twentyten theme. The layout is correct displayed (off course without css markup).

    I also checked if I was missing something in the header.php. But the <?php wp_head(); ?> is there.

    Firts I will copy my theme’s comments.php:

    <?php if(!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) : ?>
	<?php die('You can not access this page directly!'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if(!empty($post->post_password)) : ?>
  	<?php if($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) : ?>
		<p>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
  	<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if(comments_open()) : ?>
	<?php if(get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID) : ?>

    <?php else : ?>

    <div class="commentbox commentboxinput clearfix">

        <div class="commentavatar floatleft">
            <?php global $userdata; get_currentuserinfo(); echo get_avatar($userdata->ID, 50); ?>
        </div>

        <div class="commentcontent floatleft">
            <div class="commentheading clearfix">
            <h2 class="floatleft">
            <?php echo $user_identity; ?></h2>
            <p class="floatright">Now</p>
            </div>

            <form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
            <textarea name="comment" id="comment" class="commentinput inputstylebox" onfocus="checkOnFocus(this);" onblur="resetInitialText(this);"></textarea>
            <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" class="sendcomment floatright inputstylebox" value="Submit" />
            <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
            <?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
		    </form>
        </div>
    </div>

	<?php endif; ?>
<?php else : ?>
	<p>Comments are closed.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

<ol class="commentlist">
<?php if($comments) : ?>
    <?php foreach (array_reverse($comments) as $comment) : ?>

    <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">

        <div class="commentbox clearfix">
            <div class="commentavatar floatleft">
            <?php
            $urlHome = get_option('home');
            echo get_avatar( $comment, $size='50', $default = $urlHome . '/wp-content/themes/hmc/images/avatar.png' );
            ?>
            </div>

            <div class="commentcontent floatleft">
                <div class="commentheading clearfix">
                <h2 class="floatleft"><?php comment_author_link(); ?></h2>
                <p class="floatright"><?php echo human_time_diff( get_comment_time('U'), current_time('timestamp') ) . ' ago'; ?></p>
                </div>
            <?php comment_text(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
    </li>

		<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</ol>

    With this markup in the comments.php do I need to adjust the functions.php? I don’t make use off a callback in this script.

    For everybody who is reading this; already thanks for reading!

    I found a different in the textarea output between the two themes with the same comments.php.

    In my own theme this is the output for the textarea:
    <textarea name="comment" id="comment" class="commentinput inputstylebox"></textarea>

    But in the Twenty Ten theme this is the output for the textarea:
    <textarea name="comment" id="comment" class="commentinput inputstylebox" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "></textarea>

    The plugin adjust the textarea in the Twenty Ten theme, but not in my own theme.

    The plugin will not work without using a callback function. You can easily adapt that for your theme.

    Thanks TacoCode for your reply!
    I search on the codex and found this: Function Reference/wp list comments. So it seems not to hard to adapt the callback function ??

    I added a callback in functions.php

    function hmc_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
   $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>
   <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

        <div class="commentbox clearfix">
            <div class="commentavatar floatleft">
            <?php
            $urlHome = get_option('home');
            echo get_avatar( $comment, $size='50', $default = $urlHome . '/wp-content/themes/hmc/images/avatar.png' );
            ?>
            </div>

            <div class="commentcontent floatleft">
                <div class="commentheading clearfix">
                <h2 class="floatleft"><?php comment_author_link(); ?></h2>
                <p class="floatright"><?php echo human_time_diff( get_comment_time('U'), current_time('timestamp') ) . ' ago'; ?></p>
                </div>
            <?php comment_text(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>

<?php
        }

    And just this is the comment.php

    <ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=hmc_comment'); ?>
</ol>

    In the admin area I put hmc_comment in “Callback function name”.
    But it doesn’t work. When I submit a comment it loads /wp-comments-post.php as page and I see only the submitted comment (with markup form the functions.php).

    When I used this in the functions.php in the Twenty Ten theme (override the default twentyten_comment callback function) and the comments.php it works (so it used hmc_comment as callback function).

    It is realy strange that it isn’t working in my own theme. I know I do something wrong, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…

    I see now that TacoCode is also the author of this plugin, really nice of you to make this plugin and also help people (like a noob like me) on the forum!

    I figured out what is the problem, I forgot to add:
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    to my footer.php theme….

    Problem solved, it is working great! ??

    Glad you solved it ??
