Hmm, well that doesn’t help at all! (but thanks for doing it). The only things using those filters are WordPress core functions and my plugin…

Okay, I will do some more manual digging with the list of plugins you gave me and if that doesn’t work, then we may have to fall back to a temporary login… I’ll get back to you in a day or so.

Hi Steven,

Thanks, I’ll see if that helps me work out what’s conflicting with this plugin. There’s nothing that is obviously touching comments in the functions.php code, but I’ll look more closely.

As for the debug plugin I promised, it seems 4.7 introduced some changes which means my old debug code doesn’t work properly (it won’t show the file name for filters added in a class rather than a function). I spent some time trying to make it work again, but no luck yet and no time left, so let’s go ahead and get what we can (it will still get us some good information).

Rather than a plugin (I can create one if you prefer), can you please add the code in this gist to the bottom of functions.php (within the PHP tags). Once this is done, please visit the Comments page in the WP admin (or on the Edit Post screen) and it should add some extra info at the bottom of the page, similar to in this screenshot: https://cloudup.com/c-9jKXX2sAi

That will show us exactly which functions are altering the comment text and should make it quicker to track down where the conflict is happening. If you could copy and paste that and send it to me that would be great. If you don’t want to post it here, you can email me at sjc at scratch99.com.

Once you’ve copied the results, please remove that code from functions.php Thanks.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the extra info. I still can’t make it happen, even with that theme and those two plugins active. I’ve tried lots of different things but none of it causes the problem.

It is almost certainly a conflict with another plugin (or some functions.php code), but it’s going to be hard to track down.

Let’s hold off on the temporary login for the moment, as that’s the last resort and something I don’t like doing!

I’d like to see what other plugins etc are touching the comment text as that is the most likely source of the problem. I’ll create a little plugin for you which will list those – I’ll email you that within the next day (hopefully sooner).

Hopefully that will provide the clue we need. If not, it’s going to be tough!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Inndesign,

Sorry for the delay in responding – as mentioned in my email, I’ve been travelling and couldn’t look at this until now.

I’ve tested Show Parent Comments with WordPress 4.7.3 and this is what I see: https://cloudup.com/cHqsADRyplZ

It does show links in the extract of parent comment. The extract IS italicized and grey. Is that what you mean?

If so, that’s expected behaviour. In fact, it is the point of the plugin: to show the first line of the parent comment (including links) in a blockquote, so you can very quickly see which comment the current comment is in response to.

Or do you mean it’s doing that on the front end too? If so, that’s not happening for me. It all looks normal as can be seen here: https://cloudup.com/cLhW7UhwNJB

Can you please give me some more details on what’s happening for you (and ideally show a screenshot)? Also, which theme are you using? And are you using any other plugins related to comments (as there may be a conflict going on). Thanks!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi EnFi,

Sorry it’s been a public holiday here, so I didn’t get to this sooner, but I just emailed you the new download link. Let me know if you have any trouble with it. Thanks!

Hi Crssp,

Unfortunately this plugin doesn’t have that ability at the moment. It is one of the most common requests I get, so it’s on the roadmap to be added sometime, but I don’t have a firm timeframe at the moment.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Yoramzara,

Glad it’s not a problem, but let me know if you have any difficulty.

Cheers,

Hi Breakoftheec,

Thanks. I’ll add this (some sort of fuzzy title matching and/or duplicate post content) to the list of things to consider for the future, though there are a few things that will definitely be before that, so it won’t be added soon enough to help you this time.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Talgalili,

The “Are you sure you want to do this” message appears because the nonce (a WordPress’ security feature) has expired (ie the page has been open for a long time). If you use the menu to go back to the duplicates page and then add the &no=40, it should work – but let me know if it doesn’t.

Cron job feature will be coming – LOTs of people have been asking for this. ??

Thanks for the suggestion of posts by same author (hadn’t considered that, but makes sense so added to the list of future changes) and with the same number of words (already on the list).

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Sarahkob,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Unfortunately it can’t do that at the moment. The purpose of this plugin is actually to show it in everyone’s local currency. I’m sure there are other plugins out there that will just convert to a particular currency.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi 0xsnowcrash,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Unfortunately this is due to Yahoo returning a rate of 1 VND = .0001 USD. If you use their online currency converter it works fine, but their API (that LocalCurrency uses) can’t handle rates with lots of zeros in them.

I’ll have to see whether I can get a more explicit rate from somewhere else, as there’s not much I can do with what they are returning… ??

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Jaleesahmad,

The plugin should already do that. If all the prices on the site are USD$, then all you need to do is add [localcurrency]$65[/localcurrency] and visitors from the UK will have the $65 converted to pounds and visitors from Germany will have it converted to Euros etc. Isn’t that happening for you? (It can be hard to test what it looks like in other parts of the world from you).

One thing is that it won’t work properly with a caching plugin such as W3TC or Supercache, as those plugins will cache the first visitor’s location and assume the second visitor is from the same location. Maybe that’s the problem? There is a long promised update that is supposed to make this work with caching plugins, but it’s currently delayed (hoping to get to it later in the year).

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Talgalili,

Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds like a good idea. I’ve added it to the list of features to consider in a future version – although I don’t have a timeframe (there are a few things to be added).

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Talgalili,

You can actually change it through the url. If you add &no=40 to the end of the URL it will show 40 instead of 20.

I did consider adding a way to change this through the user interface, and may still decide to do so, but this plugin can be quite intensive and loading too many entries on the page could result in timeouts etc.

So for the moment, it’s there for advanced users, but most people will stick to 20, which most hosts should be able to handle.

Cheers,
Stephen

No follow up on this from Carterideation, so I’m closing this ticket.
