Comments not showing on Artisteer WP-Templates

I am very satisfied with artisteer, it fits my needs like a glove.

The only problem I have is that comments won't show up in the artisteer theme. I can moderate the comments and approve them. I can also see the "1 comment" at the bottom of the article. But whenever I click "1 comment" the comment is just not there on the article page. I have changed the WP-Theme to the default theme (comes with WP) and there I can see all comments and pingbacks just fine.

The only modifications I have made are with the sidebar1.php (added "pages") and with the footer (added imprint and removed WP-Links)

Is this a known bug?

I am using the Version 2 release candidate (Artisteer version 2.0.2.15089)

Thank you and Kind Regards
Chris

Have you tried using the default theme and seeing if the comments show up with that theme active?

Yes, the default theme shows the comments just fine.

Upgrade to the latest version of the software, as it has been released in the past day or so.

Create and export the theme and see if that corrects it. If not, please provide an URL to the blog so we can take a look at it.

I am having the same issue, my theme does not allow users to leave comments on the site, I created theme using version 1 but have upgraded to version 2. I have made changes to the theme and re uploaded it and it does not change it. Please help.

BTW: site URL is http://desent.com/CountryPet/
Changing to a default theme does allow comments to show up.

Tim, Your site seems to be set up using pages. I checked my pages on my blogs created with Artisteer and there is no comment areas listed as there is on a post or a post page. Comments don't seem to be an option on the About Page using default Wordpress theme either. A blog I created with a template I found on the web does have the comment option with pages so, I am thinking that you would need to add some code or find a plugin so that pages would have the comment option. What do you think Marc?

As a rule, comments are not usually attached to pages, only posts.

However, the comment 'code' can be used for pages. I am pretty sure I saw a forum post on how to do this somewhere.

Following the suggestions at this site: http://blogosquare.com/2007/06/29/things-you-should-know-when-displaying-pages-in-wordpress/ I managed to get this done.


Post this code:
<?php comments_template(); ?>


After this:
<?php if (is_search()) the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;', 'kubrick')); ?>


And Before this:
</div>

<div class="cleared"></div>

<?php ob_start(); ?>


Should look similar to this:
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class="PostContent">

<?php if (is_search()) the_excerpt(); else the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;', 'kubrick')); ?>

 

<?php comments_template(); ?>

 

</div>

<div class="cleared"></div>

<?php ob_start(); ?>

<?php $icons = array(); ?>

<?php if (!is_page()) : ?>



Hope this helps out. Good luck!

Oops, so you don't have to read the page that I linked to, edit this in your page.php file in your template folder.

Sorry about the long post guys/gals.

I was searching for this solution this morning. When in doubt, google is your friend. ;-) Glad this helped someone. The website I linked to didn't really work for me. Had to actually read through the code ::gasp:: and figure it out. Of course with the guidance from the linked site.

Hi.

I noticed that although comments show up fine from an Artisteer 2.0 theme, it does not handle trackback or pingback links very well. ie it doesn't show them.

it also includes a 'older' comments link twice, when there are no older comments.

easily removed with a bit of knowledge, but if artisteer are looking for feedback, then this is worth tweaking a bit more.

regards to all

I also cannot display comments on pages (bit it works with the standard theme). Pingbacks are also not displayed... Haveing comments in Pages is quite usual in Wordpress and there´s an option to enable/disable comments on a page. I don´t see why I should write some custom code in a template (which changes a lot at the moment) when I payed for the software. From my point of view this is a standard option in Wordpress. Let´s see what Artisteer team says (already opened a request).

I sent Artisteer an Email about this. So they know the pingback-bug.
I hope it will be fixed soon. Can't and won't use Artisteer until, because I need the pingback support of themes
