OpenSource.org | Discussion tab/section not available on the post options sidebar

[toncijajic]

There should be a "Discussion" section in the post option right sidebar, which is missing now. The "Allow Comments" option doesn't work even if set another way.

Details

• We worked on showing the Discourse comments in https://github.com/OpenSourceOrg/dotOrg/issues/72 and it was working then.
• It's not working anymore. 😁

Expanded request

For some reason we cannot view the comment settings anymore:

Even if I enable comments from here, the Discourse link does not show up:

Hey @toncijajic, I can see it in the main tab of the post sidebar, it maybe moved in the new WP version.

Allow me to clarify the nature of this request. When we published this blog post last week we couldn't see the link to the forum from the WP post. After we filed a ticket with concierge, we successfully restored the appearance of the link to the forum by disable-enable the Discourse plugin.

The issue we still have is with the display of the discussions from Discourse. We'd like the comments section to be better integrated with the post itself. And we'd like to continue seeing the reactions from social media, like at the bottom of this post

This is what the post with Discourse comments look like: we'd like to see the actual comments and we'd like to see them aligned with the rest of the post, giving the availability of comments more prominence.

Hi @smaffulli, thanks for the input here!

The current comment layout was set as noted by @nickvidal in this issue: https://github.com/OpenSourceOrg/dotOrg/issues/72

You can change this by altering the "Enable Discourse Comments" option under Discourse > Commenting:

Keep in mind that we haven't styled the output of the "Display comments" options, so changing to it might require additional work.

As the original issue here is no longer present, I'll close this and we can continue the Comment Styling discussion over email.

Thanks @toncijajic and @Ninodevo

WRT the comment styling, do you prefer that I open another issue or should we continue the discussion over by email?

@nickvidal best to send over an email so we can make sure it's being properly tracked by our processes. We'll then open a issue for it here and internally.
