Vanilla Forum Plugin for Wordpress

Hi !

When I enable this plugin, the Comments counter on my posts says " No Comments " irrespective of the number of comments therein.

Comment Integration option of the plugin is disabled. Enabling it does not change behavior.

As an example , see

Help please, thanks ..

    This is correct for the permissions. According to guest permissions there is no comments.

    You need to make that category publicly viewable to guests.

    grep is your friend.

    Sorry I don't understand. The Posts and the comments are being made in Wordpress, not on the Vanilla Forum side. So the question of category and guest permissions should not be there.

    You either use vanilla comments, or wordpress not both.

    Vanilla comments use a forum category.

    grep is your friend.

    As I said, comment integration option of the plugin is disabled. So there is no reason for it to interfere with the wordpress comment count is there ?

    There is some type of mismatch on your site. Either you are using Vanilla comments and WP thinks there are none. Or you are using WP comments and Vanilla thinks there are none.

    I got that :-) I am using WP comments and vanilla thinks there are none. The issue is why ? If vanilla comment integration was enabled - and there were no comments via the vanilla forum this could be right behavior. But vanilla plugin's comment integration is disabled. So is this a plugin bug or specific to my site ?

    You may think you have it disabled, but the a Vanilla script is being included in the linked page.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var vanilla_forum_url = 'http://mytopjob.in/mtjsoc';
    (function() {
       var vanilla_count = document.createElement('script');
       vanilla_count.type = 'text/javascript';
       vanilla_count.src = vanilla_forum_url + '/js/count.js';
       (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(vanilla_count);
    })();
    </script>
    

    Loading the site with JS disabled confirms my claim.

    Did you modify your template manually to include the code?

    What are the settings on the Vanilla side?
