WordPress Comments Error
Hello,
I have been using Vanilla to replace the commenting system in my WordPress blog. It has been working fine until recently. Any blog post that had been linked to a discussion in my forum still works normally. The comments are visible and new comments can be added. However, if someone tries to comment on a new blog post that hasn't been linked to a forum discussion, this error appears "There was an error performing your request. Please try again."
This used to work seamlessly so I'm not sure what happened. I'm still using Vanilla 2.1.13p1
Any help on fixing this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Michael

You need to update to 2.2

I guess I'll have to live with it for now....I can't update to 2.2 until a number of plugins are updated to work with the new version, thanks!
Such as ? Most plugins now work with 2.2 or only with 2.2 . The update is for closing a serious security flaw. That means you can be hacked. Also Wordpress requires php 5 and vanilla 2.1 may not work in a php 5 environment . Several functions have been made obsolete .

Vanilla 2.1 requires PHP 5.2 last I checked.

the main update I'm waiting on is YAGA by @hgtonight [no pressure

Reactions have become an integral part of my forum so I don't want to loose that feature...
They already work for 2.2 , you need to understand that you need to update for serious security issues.

Really? I thought @hgtonight was still testing the 2.2 compatible version of YAGA. If he has a version that works with 2.2 I'll update ASAP. Just let me know where to d/l it.
The current version works fine with 2.2 in fact most plugins also do. 2.1 and 2.2 only differ in that one is insecure and does not work with php 5.5, and the 2.2 is and does.

Really? I saw this thread and it seems like people were having problems with YAGA in 2.2
https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/31175/is-yaga-application-broken-with-vanilla-2-2-release#latest
But it does look like the development version is mostly working so maybe I'll go with that.
Did you look at the date ? Also, some people have problems with many things, it does not mean you will have the same problems unless they are running the same thing in the same way as you are, which is doubtful.
The application is not broken in 2.2 and people who use those type of titles are wrong for doing that. It may have broken or they broke it because they do not know what they are doing. Never go by disingenuous titles like that, because what works for one may not work for someone else if they inflicted the damage themselves and not the application.

@vrijvlinder ok, i'll give the update a try. I just hope nothing gets broken...thanks!
Remember to follow the steps and you should be fine.

@meshugy I definitely suggest updating to 2.2 immediately.

@hgtonight I'm working on it but I just realized my theme isn't compatible with 2.2, oi!
How so?
Can you tell us what is the error ?

ok, I successfully upgraded to 2.2 (YAGA works fine, thanks!)
However, I'm still having wordpress comment issues. The comments won't load at all now but I found this post which indicates the FileUpload plugin interferes with the comment embedding:
https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/28274/wordpress-plugin-and-comments-not-showing-on-wordpress-posts
So i turned the FileUpload plugin off and it does restore the embedded wordpress comments. However, now I have no FileUpload (I tried upgrading to the latest version and still no joy.) Is there a way to get embedded WP comments and FileUpload to work together?
Use the advanced editor, that one you just drag the images into the box. Making fileupload unnecessary ...The new advanced editor is just like this one on the forum.
Just disable fileupload but do not delete it so you keep your picture folders. But start using Advanced editor instead of what you were using for posting and upload!

thanks @vrijvlinder
The Advanced Editor is a nice improvement!
