Comments I make on the WordPress pages like C2 – Faith Faraday – FF7.com don’t show up on that page itself or in discourse, but there is a thread called C2 in Discourse, with no replies. The corresponding thread to that page is at C2 - FF7.com - Faith Faraday Forum
The reason I’m trying to get this to work on pages is because I put rather short URLs at the end of each chapter of my book, and I really don’t want to redirect people.
I’m using my own install of Discourse, by the way.
Ah, I think the issue in this case is that the page you’re trying to render comments on page that doesn’t have a comments_template. Check out “Display comments without loading the WordPress comments template” in
Thank you so much! Please forgive the newbie question, it’s been nearly 30 years since I was a web developer, but where in my template do I paste that code? I’m using the Breakdance template.
I’m not familiar with the breakdance template. You’ll need to edit the template on the page you linked to. Does breakdance have a code block or code element? If so use that to insert this snippet at the relevant location.
<?php
use WPDiscourse\Utilities\Utilities as DiscourseUtilities;
$discourse_comments = DiscourseUtilities::get_discourse_comments(get_the_ID());
echo $discourse_comments;
?>
I tried putting it in the header, but it ended up rendering on the page, so I’m going to try to put it in the top menu template as a code block. I’ll let you know how it goes!
I missed your point about putting the code block in the correct location. That worked! But the viewer can’t comment/reply here on WordPress. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the feature?
Looking into the documentation/threads further, I now understand that I can only allow people to comment and use the advanced discourse features on the discourse view (makes sense), but I can render n number of comments on the WordPress page. I’m just going to have to have a link at the bottom that instructs them to reply after clicking the “Continue the discussion at forum.ff7.com” link.
