The link to the comments community is missing from the Wordpress article

Support WordPress
1

A couple of days ago and probably after updating one of these plugins, articles in WordPress stopped proving on community comments.

Which plugins did we update? “Advanced Ads, GTM4WP, Rank Math SEO, Rank Math SEO PRO, Super Progressive Web Apps, Webpushr Push Notifications”

I can try disabling one plugin at a time, but since I need the plugins, finding the culprit probably wouldn’t solve anything.

What did I find?

In WordPress, the metadata for the article looks like this. See screenshot:

This is not the first time we are solving a similar problem with the “WP-Discourse” plugin, so I want to ask if there is any way to modify the plugin to prevent this from happening.

You will need to find which plugin caused the issue for us to be able to help you.

What you’re describing is other plugins you’re using interfering with the normal operation of Wordpress post custom fields.

We can help you figure it out, but the issue is with plugins that you’re using that affect the normal operation of Wordpress. Changing the WP Discourse plugin to accommodate such behaviour would not be wise.

Once you find the plugin that is causing the issue, I’d suggest, as a first step, to reach out to the creators of that plugin to tell them that it’s causing an issue. We can definitely assist with a resolution in whatever way we can, but we can’t fix bugs in other plugins.
