Comments not displaying in single event view

[Marc]

I added two test comments, but they’re not displaying (the comment box is): http://www.mcmvanbree.com/classicalaustin/event/conspirare-big-sing-1/

I do have a custom single.php file, but I couldn’t find anything about comments in there. Perhaps it has something to do with the ecp-single-template.php file? And the more specifically this line:

?php if(tribe_get_option(‘showComments’,’no’) == ‘yes’){ comments_template();} ?

Do I need to edit this to fit the Genesis News Theme I have installed?

Hey Marc. Thanks for reaching out here; do comments display when you aren’t using the custom single.php file? That is usually what controls the layout of a single event page. The second file you referenced (ecp-single-template.php) controls the template you’ve set under Events -> Settings -> Template. Have you played around with the different options there to see if the comments display on any of the templates outside the one you’re currently using?

Also, as an aside, have you checked out Jonah’s Genesis integration tutorial? It can be found here (https://theeventscalendar.com/tutorial-integrating-the-events-calendar-w-genesis/), and may be of some value to you as you jump into it.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comment. Turns out, it was in the ecp-single-template.php file.

The line:
?php if(tribe_get_option(‘showComments’,’no’) == ‘yes’){ comments_template();} ?

Needs to be changed to:
?php if(tribe_get_option(‘showComments’,’no’) == ‘yes’){ comments_template(”,true);} ?

Found the answer here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-comments-not-showing-on-events-page

As you can see, it’s working now: http://www.mcmvanbree.com/classicalaustin/event/conspirare-big-sing-1/

Fantastic. Glad to hear you got this taken care of, Marc; I’m going to mark your response as the “Answer” so other users who face this same problem down the road can rely on it. Looks like you’re set here for now so I’m going to close out the thread…but if we can do anything else in the future please let us know. Cheers!
