{more_replies} sometimes returns no value

Hi there,

I notice the variable {more_replies} sometimes does not return a value.
On most posts it works, but for some, it just returns a blank: 07.31.2017-14.21.31

Please note I changed the template via filter discourse_replies_html, but this is still the case on the default Discourse templates (by removing the filter). I did not see any errors in my PHP logs.

If there are no more replies, then it just returns an empty string. For this post Introduction to Ethernet what I’m seeing is 3 replies on the forum and 3 replies displayed on WordPress, so more_replies is returning an empty string. Are there cases on your site where there are more replies on the forum than are displayed on WordPress and the more_replies text is empty?

I see that I should add a filter to the more_replies text. I can do that right away.

Hi Simon,

I get it now, thanks. Since there are no more hidden replies, the string returns an empty string. Clear!

But still, there is a hyperlink with no link text, shouldn’t this be fixed?

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

I think in the default template it renders a p tag with no content when there are no replies. It doesn’t need to do that. I’ll fix it
