Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Ajax Comment Preview

Go to the Settings (called "Options" in WordPress 2.6 ) -> Ajax Comment Preview admin panel. From there you'll be able to specify the markup used to display the comment being previewed. The markup you enter will depend on what theme your site is using. If you're using Kubrick (the default theme for WordPress), the settings that come installed with the plugin will work fine. For other themes, I suggest the following. Go to the permalink page for a post on your site that has a few comments. In your web browser, view the Page Source of that page. You can usually do this by finding that option in your browsers Edit or View menu or in the menu that pops up when you right click on the page. Find the section of code that corresponds to one of the comments. Copy it into your clipboard. Paste that code into the big text box in the Options -> Ajax Comment Preview admin panel. Replace the text specific to that comment (author name, time, comment text, ...) with the plugin's special tags (%author%, %date%, %content%, ...). Most themes' code has all the comments inside one big <ol>, <ul>, or <div> tag. You'll probably need to put your preview markup inside that "parent" tag too. Make sure it has the same class(es) as the tag in your theme's code.

Remember, you have to have WordPress version 2.6 or higher to use this plugin. If you do: Go to the plugin's Settings page. Copy the HTML from the big text box to a text file (not a Word document) and save it. Now you have a backup. Delete everything in the big text box. Type "TEST" (without the quote marks) in the big text box, then hit the "Update" button. Go back to your blog, type in a comment and hit the preview button. If you see TEST come back, there's probably a mistake in the HTML you entered in the big text box. Double check it and try again.

This plugin has two files: ajax-comment-preview.php and ajax-comment-preview.js . Did you upload them both? (You did if you were a good blogger and followed the directions.) Make sure both of those files are on your webserver and in the same directory. I saw TEST come back, but my comments template doesn't work, or only some of it shows up

application/xhtml+xml)? If so (or if you don't know what that means), try putting xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" inside the very first HTML tag of your comment template. So if you had: <li class="comment"> as the first line in your comment template, change it to <li class="comment" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> in the big text box.

... Can you tell if there are any JavaScript errors when you load a post on your blog or

Other than that, nope, I'm out of ideas.
