Comment Issues
A visitor to my blog yesterday was kind enough to bring to my attention a technical issue with commenting on my site. I had a CAPTCHA plugin enabled, but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work properly, so no one at all could post. After investigating the issue a bit, I came across a piece of advice for the plugin I was using (MyCaptcha) which said to make sure that the following line was in my comments.php file:
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
In the same breath, it was mentioned that most themes do in fact have this in there. Well, to my luck, the theme I’m currently using (iNove) doesn’t have that line in the comments.php file. So I had to add it. Unfortunately, I only realized this after going through a few other plugins to see if I could solve the problem by switching it up. I guess all these plugins rely on the same line, since they all seemed to have a similar issue. Finally, I’ve settled on Raven’s Antispam plugin, mostly because that was the plugin I was trying when I decided to add the above line to my comments.php file. Seems to do the trick (at least it lets users post), and it’s supposed to be transparent unless Javascript is disabled. Seemingly ideal! So anyway, hopefully that will end my problems for good with this issue.
Also, I realized I don’t make it all that apparent what my email address is, so in case anyone wants to contact me regarding my blog (or anything else for that matter), that can be at dan@danfego.net.
