I have had the comment feature installed and in use on my site for a long time.
I use Disqus to manage the comments.
I have noticed in recent months, since i moved to a VPS at hostgator.com instead of shared hosting at Bluehost.com, that the comments feature is sporadic.
The JA Comments module/component/plugin should be visible on the bottom of every news, opinion and most other stories.
For example, I know there are comments:
http://www.alachuatoday.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2354:high-springs-election-is-a-wakeup-call&catid=116:columns&Itemid=522

But, for some reason, the entire Disqus/JA Comment module/component/plugin only shows up sometimes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, i checked your setting plugin JA Comment Plugin and see that you set JA Comment for some categories only. So please selected all categories to apply 🙂

I understand the comment plugin is selected only for certain categories, but that’s because we don’t want readers responding to certain things, like classified ads, or the jail log.
Still, JA Comment Plugin is enabled for all of our local news and opinion articles. But, it DOESN’T always show up. It’s sporadic and that’s what I’m trying to fix.
I would gladly pay someone to migrate all of my content over to the latest Joomla version and and the latest Teline template if you think that would help.
Please do help me. This has become a critical issue for us.
Thank you,
Bryan

Hello bboukari,

You need to install “JA Comment” component along with “Content – JA Comment” plug-in to enable to use JA Comment on your site.

Best regards.

Hello bboukari,

You should extract the installation file (the zip file), then replace all strings “TYPE=MyISAM” by “ENGINE=MyISAM” in “admininstallersqlinstall.jacomment.sql” file of installation file.

After that, re-install the JA Component. Please check and let me know if you need any further assistance. Thanks!

Best regards.

Nhat,
I have done as you have suggested. I was able to get that component installed. However, the comments are still not showing up at the bottom of articles. Your continued assistance is VERY much appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your continued help in troubleshooting this problem.

Hello bboukari,

I can see comment form is displayed on your site (e.g. http://your-site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2407:high-springs-weighs-emergency-communications-options&catid=102:local&Itemid=426

Please re-check and confirm the same.

Nhat,
I do not see the comment form. I have had several of my readers comment that they can only see it sometimes. That’s how it is for me. I can see it sometimes, but most of the time, I cannot. If you do see it, try refreshing and see if it keeps showing up. I noticed when I do see it, once I refresh, it goes away.

Hello Bryan,

Here is my screenshot after I visited your site http://i.imgur.com/nI77T.jpg . As you see, the comment form is shown normally.

Best regards.
