Changes in version 3.0
(released 11/05/09)
• This is a complete reworking of the theme and the addition of a plugin. Full documentation to follow.
I tried this theme on my test site. It seems to work fine in Firefox but I get a javascript void error in IE.
This should be resolved in version 1.1
I’ve run into this same issue. It would appear to be something that shows up in Commentpress when you have WP2.3 installed. I was able to successfully use CP with both WP versions 2.1 and 2.2.3.
A look at my htttpd error log seems to indicate that CP causes some sort of unrecoverable error. Example:
[Thu Sep 27 10:56:34 2007] [notice] child pid 1596 exit signal Illegal instruction (4)
I’ve received the same issue on both Mac OSX and Solaris. I’ve tried it both with Apache 1.33 and Apache2, and PHP4 and 5.
This really does seem to be some incompatibility between WP2.3 and CP1.4.
Thanks!
Is something like captcha or recaptcha in the development plan, or has added this themselves? Our sys admin wonders if there is a way to integrate challenge-response into Commentpress to avoid automated spamming.
I’m new to Commentpress and just a week old on the edublogs site.
I’d love to use Commentpress for my English class homepage/blog, but…
The “read/write comments” bubbles do not seem to function on my site. I click and nothing happens–my fault?
We look forward to seeing developments in the future.
On the floating overview list, the “Paragraph X” list seems both repetitive, and rather thin on information. Am wondering if it might be more helpful to instead have a heading “Paragraphs” followed by a numbered list that includes the first line of each paragraph?
eddie@futureofthebook.org is a bouncing address.
Anyway: when will Commentpress be accessible without JavaScript? It’s not possible to use this without failing accessibility guidelines at present, which is a shame for a good tool. If it’s not planned yet, can you outline what changes you think would be needed?
@MJ: It has been ever since version 3.1. The latest version (3.2) adds full compatibility with the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Caveat: that’s as far as we call tell without a professional audit.
Hi there
Is Commentpress dead? Any news of updates to theme welcome!
Best wishes
Jon
Er, no. Please check back for version 3.2 – out today.
I should add if anyone can drop the code or where to find it to make compatible with 2.8.4 pls do.
Commentpress 3.2 now requires WordPress 3.0.1.
Hi, I’m using Commentpress 3.1 on my multisite WordPress site v 3.0.1. We’re having a problem with Safari users who are logged in. When they click to “comment on this page” (or paragraph), it just reloads the page but the comment form does not appear. It works fine in Safari for registered users, but we need for everyone to be able to comment on the site. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
The site is at https://blogs.hastac.org/duke/makn
A little more info: we SOMETIMES have the above issue with Firefox and IE as well.
Automatic installation only installs ‘readme.txt’, error in header is the error message.
Hi Martin – Are you trying to install Commentpress from the WordPress plugins repository? That won’t work. Please download the plugin and theme from this site instead.
Hi, I’m trying to use CommentPress in several classes I’m teaching at Duke University. This past year I used it and it was a marvelous tool for writing-intensive work. But the University has just updated to WordPress 3.3.2 and CommentPress no longer works–paragraphs no longer have a “comment” icon to their left. This is true using the previous and current versions of CommentPress (as of 8/31/2012). I realize this might well be a result of the integration of WordPress at Duke with our NetID (Shibboleth) authentication system. But I thought I’d ask if you know of version incompatibilities between the current version of CommentPress and WordPress 3.3.2?

HiThis is exactly what our writing group is needing.I have it on the test site and for the most part it is working ok.It is a multisite and is running WP 3.5.I think I first activated it as a network but then changed it to a site activation.It is using the built in menu and dosen’t seem to use the built in WP menus. This is ok I guess but not ideal.The problem is on the built in menu the home page button takes you back to the root web-sitei instead of the sub website. Of course I don’t have CP installed on the root website so it just goes to a blank screen..Can I edit a php file to fix this or can I get CP to use the WP menu system? Thanks
Hi!
We’ve got commentpress 3.5 installed, but we’re getting a funny error with some of our users. Seems to happen if, while entering a comment, the paragraph in question gets scrolled out of frame -get an ajax error, ‘Cannot call method ‘toSTring’ of undefined
but other times not. See

also get error, ‘a is undefined’
Hello,
I am getting fatal PHP errors when I try to use the commentpress-core themes:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_blogs_root_slug() in …/wp-content/plugins/commentpress-core/themes/commentpress-modern/assets/templates/navigation.php on line 140
&
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_blogs_root_slug() in …/wp-content/plugins/commentpress-core/themes/commentpress-theme/assets/templates/user_links.php on line 65
The plugins I am using are: CommentPress-core, Commons in a Box, All in One WP Security, Jetpack, and Akismet. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling CommentPress but with no luck. I have not modified anything in the plugin files.
Do you know why this might be happening?
Thanks
Hi Mike, sounds like something is amiss with your BuddyPress installation. Do you have blog signups enabled? Do you have any BuddyPress components disabled?
The scrollbar on the table of contents does not activate until the TOC is clicked. Until the bottom of the table is not visible to the user. Have I got too many items on it? I’ve tried adapting the CSS. No success. I hope you can help. Apart from this, I rate Commentpress very highly.
Hi Peter, which browser are you using when you see this? Do you have a site where I can see the problem for myself? If not, steps to reproduce the problem would be most helpful.
Cheers, Christian
http://www.argonautica4.co.uk is the website where I’m having the problem with the scroll bar on the table of contents. I use Safari but I’ve looked at it in IE and Chrome and it’s the same. Thanks for replying. Peter
Hi Peter, it looks to me as though you have Javascript errors and CSS issues which need clearing up. Once you have done that, I suspect the left hand column will scroll as expected.
Cheers, Christian
Hi! I’m using the CommentPress Core theme and added a Forum/Discussion section as well to the WordPress site. Unfortunately, using the CommentPress Core theme, within the forums all of the comments are automatically transformed into ALL CAPS which is making them sound a little bit aggressive. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Madeline
Hi Madeline, which plugin are you using to implement your forums?
Hello, is it normal that the archive of the categories of the blog are only one page (a ten items) ?
Yes, that’s normal. If you have more than that, you’ll find arrows which allow you to navigate to further pages of ten items each.
You appear to be using a plugin that is a clone of CommentPress. You should contact the developers directly:
