I can see the comments just fine on Joomla 4.0.5 and Engage 3.0.2

If you are using caching make sure to clear your cache. Engage 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 had a bug which prevented the comments from rendering when caching is enabled. If the missing comments situation are still cached the comments won't appear until you clear the cache. That was the reason I published 3.0.2.

I found a way that can be reproduced.

Go to Components, Engage, Options, Basic tab.

If the “Number of comments per page” is set to All or Use Global you see no comments. Set it to another value, e.g. 20. Comments are shown. The default for this option is 20.

There were two logic errors here. First, regardless of whether you were using Use Global (setting -1 in the database) or All (setting 0 in the database) it was converted to 0. Second, the value 0 would return no comments because of how PHP's array_slice works. 0 needs to be converted to NULL to get the entire array after an offset. Combining these two issues resulted in no comments.

I only spotted it because I had one site where I had accidentally set this to All. On my dev and test sites I was always setting that to 20. I will release 3.0.3 tomorrow.

Hi,

you were right, I had set the option "Number of comments per page" to "all". Now I set it to 50 and cleared the cache and everything is displayed.

BUT:

Now I have another problem:

In Options is ste: Maximum comment nesting: 3

But on frontpage, nesting is gone away. Every comment and comment of comment is on same place and not nested. I opened a new issue and hope, it is ok for you.

You just to check the option Load custom CSS. Don't open a new issue.
