Empty Comment Text in Anspress 3.0.7 (requesting support without updating version)

Solved4.65K viewsIssues

Hi Rahul, I really appreciate this plugin and the work you’ve put into it. I am running 3.0.7 and can’t upgrade (for various reasons). However, there is text that says:
There aren’t any comment yet.

… and I need to be able to fix it.

I can’t find it in any of the plugin files, the root files via FTP, or in your 3.0.7 build in GitHub. PLEASE help me find a way to fix that text without upgrading to the latest version.

I’ve setup an instance of Anspress for a forum and can’t upgrade to 4.0.5 without it breaking the user profiles we have setup as well. Making the move to BuddyPress is not an option as the old profiles do exactly what we want via TML and we’re committed.

Do I have any hope of getting that copy fixed? Moreover, what are the odds that I can dice out some of the fixes in 4.0.5 into 3.0.7 by copying over the code fixes (or even whole files) into the build I’m stuck with?

Help me Rahul Ar-yan, you’re my only hope… bzzzz…. Help me Rahul Ar-yan, you’re my only hope… bzzzz…. Help me Rahul Ar-yan, you’re my only hope…

Holla,

You have put so much hope in me 🙂 so I searched for that string in GitHub and found here:
https://github.com/anspress/anspress/blob/3.0.7/theme/default/js-template/comments.html#L3

Cheers 🙂

Brilliant work sir, that solved it! I’m including the instructions for making that change below to better assist others who may be in the same situation.

I simply updated that file by downloading it via FTP and re-uploading the file (using FileZilla) to the same location (which overwrote the file and updated the text in question). That file location (in my case) was:
/wp-content/plugins/anspress-question-answer/theme/default/js-template/comments.html

… updating the comments.html file in line 3 did the trick. Keep rocking Rahul, I’ll be back with more questions should they arise.
