Never mind – I deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. It is now working just fine.

Hi. I have tried it on four different browsers, and clicking on the stars always closes the popup. My daughter tried it from a different IP address, and the same thing happened. I’m not sure which settings you wanted for the screenshots. I attached the Elementor settings for the popup – all of the settings on the other screens are set at default. and I sent the settings for the “rating” section of the form. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Mihaela.

I removed the form from the page but left the popup. The stars on the popup still close the popup, so the form can’t be submitted. I tried it on both Firefox and Chrome.

Never mind. It was an Elementor issue, and an easy fix. Sorry to bother you. ??

Great idea about the plugins. The only plugins we have in common are Akismet and Subscribe to Comments Reloaded. I disabled the Subscribe to Comments plugin and it didn’t fix anything so that can’t be causing the problem. And I can’t disable Akismet, for the obvious reasons.

I’m glad you found a solution that works for you. I don’t think I can do that, though. The discussions between readers is really important, and they only know about the comments they can see. It isn’t a tech-savy crowd. I’ll ask SiteGround if they’ll let me use the older version of WP.

Surely we aren’t the only two people on the planet with this problem? Of course, most blogs don’t get enough comments for the pagination to ever be turned on. Maybe that’s why more people aren’t upset about it.

Although – you don’t happen to host your site on SiteGround, do you? I know it’s a long shot, but I thought I’d ask, just in case something in WP 4.7 is disagreeing with their code.

Thank you – I thought it was just me. I went back to 4.6 and the problem went away, but SiteGround automatically updates to the latest WP version, so the fix didn’t last long. And one of my pages has 76 pages of comments – if I set the system to display the first page, they’ll be back in 2012 from the start. I had to disable my Subscribe to Comments Reloaded plugin, due to the glitch.

Since I can’t find anyone else discussing this online, I assume it’s not happening to everyone. Could it really just be the two of us? But that would mean that the next WP version will have the same code that is causing the problem. I’m getting really frazzled, since the comments are such an important part of my site.

This is the reply I received from SiteGround support:

>>i have tested and the the application is redirecting to page 1 after submitting a comment while the newest comments are being on last page of the comments in your case page 75.

>>In that sense there is no server side error and there is no such redirect set for your application. I would suggest to contact a third party developer to assist you in debugging your application. I cannot personally recommend one, but I am sure you will be able to find one easily at the popular freelancer sites.

>>You may count on us for any changes on our end as per developer’s suggestions.

>>You may alternatively restore your application from a restore point when it was working as intended. You may order the restore via Basic Backup Service > Restore section in your User Area.

In my discussion settings, it is set to break comments into 20 top level comments per page, and the last page displays by default. Comments should be displayed with the newer comments on top.

This has never caused a redirect to the first page before the last WP update. Do I need to hire a developer?

Oh, duh – never mind. I found the configuration area, which was sitting in plain site. Sorry for the bother.

I see in another thread that CloudFlare can cause this problem. I did turn on CloudFlare, since Hostgator told me it woudl cut down on CPU problems. This is when the Visual Editor problem started. The CloudFlare site was down so I couldn’t contact them for support. I immediately removed my site from their system and deleted the CloudFlare plugin from my site. The Visual Editor still didn’t work.

Is it possible that CloudFlare changed a file somewhere on my site that I could fix with a simple edit?

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier just to link the image directly, instead of using a plugin?

I recently disabled my Easy Comment Uploads plugin, because a security problem in the plugin was allowing hackers to upload evil files to my server. When the plugin was disabled, I had the same problem – all the images previously uploaded are found within [img] tags, and it looks like I’ll need to go back through thousands of comments and replace them myself with <img> tags, which WordPress can read.

I don’t suppose you figured out a good fix for this? I really don’t want to fix all those images by hand. ;(
