The plugin uses comments template of your theme to render social comments. So, it’s related to the theme you are using. You can try deactivating the plugin (or switching to another theme) just to confirm it.

I haven’t tried it yet. I was looking at the source code of your demo page. So it’s your theme doing that… Guess I’ll try mine real quick then…

Super Socializer seems like the ultimate plugin with social registration, sharing, and comments. It’s too bad you don’t have the comments built the same way in super socializer as you do in this other plugin you’re showing me. I wonder what the benefits were to not doing it that way? Seems like iframes and javascript should be avoided when possible?

That social-comments plugin looks good. Except why on earth would every comment be wrapped in an <article> and <footer> instead of the typical wordpress/html comment div’s? Do you have any documentation showing that makes sense? I don’t see other plugins with such comment markup and I don’t want it to damage my SEO etc. Seems very weird to me but maybe I’m wrong?

Sweet! I want this plugin so bad but have debated if it’s worth the arguing with my host so keep putting it off…

I’ll try this tomorrow or maybe if Brandon verify’s any issue he agrees with now we can get an official plugin update for the issue?

Ok, I had an idea.

I’m on machighway.com hosting using php 5.4.28

My mom has a web store on godaddy.com hosting running 5.4.31 which also only seems to show sqlite3

So I just installed your plugin on her account and sure enough, it does the same thing. So it would seem that either your plugin has a bug, it needs to utilize sqlite3, or both hosting companies have the same mod security issue. I’m not sure what the answer is but that’s where we are at it seems. I can privately send you access to the sites if you’d like to verify anything. Thanks!

Ok, don’t get mad at me…LOL. But googling around it seems that PHP 5.4 did in fact remove sqlite. It does still include the newer version sqlite3 which I have verified via our phpinfo file. Sqlite used to be there alongside sqlite3 but now it’s gone so we just have sqlite3.

A short time ago our hosting did have sqlite disabled which was causing fields not to save at the time (I’m pretty positive, I’d have to go back through support tickets to verify). But I re-enabled that myself via php.ini and it fixed the issue. I still have that extension enabled in my ini file but its pointless now.

As far as the logs, I asked them to check all of the logs that could be the issue including logs that contained the mod security errors we had a while back. So unless they are blowing smoke I believe this is all they found. But the mod security errors before were different as it was causing non admins not to be able to modify their profile fields. Admins could. This is blocking admins too and it’s odd that the top field works but the bottom fields don’t.

The mod security can’t be disabled via your links. We are on a shared server and they prevent that so non of those changes take any effect. I tried them last time till I was blue in the face…LOL. Some shared servers you can over-ride but not if they have you locked out like ours does. But at this point I really think it’s not mod security. I think it’s sqlite but I could be wrong.

Just curious, if your plugin is using sqlite but our server doesn’t have sqlite… why don’t you think that could be a problem? And if the new php 5.4 versions exclude it in favor of sqlite3 then you’ll probably hear this problem more as hosting companies upgrade their servers. Wouldn’t that give reason to update the plugin to use the sqlite3 library instead of sqlite?

I mean all of that in the LEAST argumentative way believe me. I know and understand NOTHING compared to you I’m sure. But just basing this off my experience with sqlite and mod security errors the past year or two.

Thanks

Ok, here is what I heard back…

******************

Here’s the output from the server log when I attempt to make that change.

[Mon Sep 22 14:01:33 2014] [error] [client xxx] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/sqlite.so’ – /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/sqlite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0, referer: https://wp-admin/options-general.php?page=edit-author-slug

Support for the sqlite extension has been discontinued in PHP 5.4 (which is what the server is running). I would check to see if there is a newer version of the script you are using that supports SQLite3.

Yeah, tried that.

Process of elimination I guess. I’m sure it’s not our theme and it’s not a cache issue. The mod security on our shared server has been a nightmare but I haven’t hit a problem for a little while. Just incase I submitted a ticket requesting them to check all the logs for errors with the mod security and told them what page etc to look for. That’s how we found the issues in the past so if it’s the server hopefully they’ll figure it out late tonight or tomorrow morning. I’ll post back…

Thanks

ok, I’ve installed the plugin on my fresh test install of wordpress (with default theme) at a totally different domain and it does the same thing. This is on my same shared server though. So either this is a server/security setting or there is a bug.

Still can’t figure this one out. I was somewhat wondering if it could be a mod security issue from our host as we’ve run into that a couple times but since it allows me to change the very top ‘author base’ without issues on the same page I think that likely eliminates that possibility. As in the past with Mod Security it wouldn’t let me change anything on that same page.

Found the issue. It was on our end so I won’t bother stating it all…

looks like it’s actually excluding the header all together. I’m looking through my functions file etc to try and find any conflicts

sure, sorry about that. thought it was on topic but I’ll start a new thread

hmm, I got this going but for some reason it’s seeing the template but not the CSS file? So I have no CSS for my role based template?

I’ll look up what enqueue scripts means and research that. I don’t mind using a new slider and I’ve searched but my problem was that none of the ones I find on www.remarpro.com allow for me to put the direct html markup in the template like I mention above so that I can call the custom image upload fields for that user in their profile. All of them want you to create the slides insider the wp-admin interface etc which won’t work.

Thanks
