2 discourse comment box is appearing. Platform: WordPress Theme: Astra Before we were using extol theme then moved to astra. Added comment section hook by astra site builder and placed under the post by display condition. All blog posts showing the comment section normally except 3 posts (Showing discourse comment section twice). Can anyone please help me? [image]

My bad, I was not looking at the right issue! I thought you were talking about just this one: [image] I think your issue is expected. Astra theme doesn’t support the Full Site Editing feature or work with blocks. In other words, Astra is not a block theme, and to customize pages, you need to use a third-party page builder (such as Elementor, in your case). You will surely see a duplicate if you are not using the Discourse block to replace the original Comment block. Angus shows what you would need to do if you had a block theme in his video: WP Discourse Comments Block. You are not replacing the comment area when you add the Discourse block using hooks; you place custom code at a specific location. What is the solution? If you prefer the look/location of the Astra hook, there is a way to remove the native WP comment area. You can add this PHP code. See https://wpastra.com/docs/add-custom-php-code/ if you need help with how. add_action( 'init', function() { if ( class_exists( 'Astra_Loop' ) ) { remove_action( 'astra_template_parts_content', array( Astra_Loop::get_instance(), 'template_parts_comments' ), 15 ); } }, 11 ); Hope that helps!

Hey there, this looks like an issue with your theme, or perhaps how you’re using “Astra Site Builder”, but let’s see if we can help you nevertheless. [image] Emon Bhuiyan: Added comment section hook by astra site builder and placed under the post by display condition. Perhaps you could elaborate on what this looks like? Did you use any code? Could you link to the documentation for the “Astra Site Builder”. Is it a block-enabled theme? Try to give as many details as possible.

Thanks @angus for your prompt response. Actually I don’t see any code while editing the code and I am using theme default single post template which shouldn’t have the discourse comment code. Strange thing is this happening with only following posts: Strange thing is this happening with only following posts: - Pastebin.com [Please check pastebin, I added links there] Other posts are showing the only comment box that I added by astra site builder. Yes astra is block-enabled theme. Here is it’s doc: https://wpastra.com/docs/

[image] WP Discourse Comments Block Administrators From version 2.4.7, the WP Discourse Plugin includes a Discourse Comments block for the Block Editor. The Discourse Comments block is primary way to add Discourse Comments to a block-enabled theme such as Twenty Twenty Three. Here’s a short video on how to use the Discourse Comments block Next Step If you haven’t yet, make sure you check out: Using Discourse for Wordpress Comments Notes The Discourse Comments block does not currently support the “Load Comments With Ajax” setting. To learn…

Yes I used WP Discourse comment block on Astra Site builder. Even I disable astra site builder hook still this extra discourse comment box visible under the post.

Previously we used extol theme. We added Discourse comment block in single post page itself. Then we moved to Astra. Astra has some limitation, so we can’t edit the default single post template. That’s why I added discourse comment box via astra site builder hook, which is working perfectly. Even if I disable astra site builder hook still these 3 pages showing Discourse comment box, we didn’t added comment box block in the post. And really couldn’t figure it out from where its coming here.

Please disable the “Enable Discourse Comments” setting in WP Discourse > Comments and tell me what effect that has (make sure you save the setting change).

If I disable this settings both comment box disappear.

Ok, you can re-enable it. The issue is that whatever combination of theme and site builder you’re using, you’ve got both a PHP post template and a block post template on the same page (that’s not normal). That’s the reason this is happening. [Screenshot at Jan 30 21-56-22] If you want to load both templates in a single page you need to remove the comments_template line from the post PHP template.

If its from php, I am wondering why its only visible to specific 3 posts. I couldn’t find comments_template in single.php file. :cry:

If I disable comments from customizer settings, only comment box disappear. Still discourse comment box visible.
