Huh. The last time I saw this it was really borked on self-hosted sites. It’s nice to see development going in a direction that will allow it to work other than just on WordPress.com.

Here’s the GitHub repo. I also made it grab the first image in a post and make it a thumbnail when it makes the excerpt.

Never mind. I made a plugin to accomplish this on my own.

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you. I must have forgot to subscribe to comments.

Anyhow, isn’t P2 Breathe only available on WordPress.com? I just tried it and the front-end post box doesn’t show on my iPhone…

Ohhh that seems reasonably straightforward. I won’t be able to test this until the Fall when my class starts, but I’ll keep this in mind for then!

Thank you very much!

Hi Elissa,

It most definitely was (half) working before. Authors were getting an email whenever someone commented on their post and replying in email created a threaded comment. That much worked since the beginning, although it is not working now; I’m not receiving an email when someone comments.

Regarding the second half, it does add a checkbox to “Participate in this conversation via email”, but it has never worked.

Actually, P2 was updated in October. I don’t know why it doesn’t say that on here. That doesn’t seem that old to me.

If you’re not familiar with it, P2 adds the ability to post updates from the front-end. It also uses AJAX to display new comments/posts live without refreshing.

The issue I’m referring to is that the textarea for making posts on the front-end automatically activates (ie. places the cursor there ready to type) when the page loads. This is fine on a desktop but on mobile it awkwardly forces the keyboard to pop up. So, yes, switching to the default theme will fix my issue but it will do so in the same way that removing the gas tank of a car fixes the problem of the gas cap constantly falling off.

Actually, P2 was updated in October. I don’t know why it doesn’t say that on here. That doesn’t seem that old to me, but you could have a point. Mercury is now older, and it could be interfering with some of the updates that P2 added.

Ok, I checked. It works fine with all my plugins enabled, as long as I’m not using the P2 theme (or the Mercury child theme).

I deactivated all other plugins and switched to the Twenty Sixteen theme and it worked this time. So that means it’s a theme/plugin conflict? What can I do now?

Oh, just to clarify, public is the category.

I’m using the main WordPress pagination.

The settings are:

Auto-Confirm Everyone: Yes
All WordPress Users Confirm their Email Address? No

I just tested a comment. Nothing showed up in the log.

Ok. Thanks!

Does it matter that Mercury is XHTML 1.0 transitional? Should it be HTML 5?

It just occurred to me why this problem is happening and there might not be a simple solution. Is it not attaching the image to the post/page because the post doesn’t actually exist — front end posting — yet?

Is there any automated solution for this?
