1.7.7: Comments not shown

[rowi]

Since I've updated to 1.7.7 comments are not shown at the bottom of an entry. They exist and are shown in the sidebar but not at the article
As you can see for example at this entry http://rowi.standardleitweg.de/archives ... l#comments there should be 2 comments as stated in the footer and partly visible at the left sidebar but they're not even within the HTML source at the article itself.
I tried to remove several Plug-Ins without success

Is that an un-(changed/touched) entry with 1.7.7? Does that happen with every entry?
(Did you read http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19727? - seems related, but not directly)

Edit: Question 2 has its answer, see http://rowi.standardleitweg.de/comments/
Edit2: But this does not not happen everywhere. I have 3 different server sites with no issues there...

Hi!

From the top of my head I wouldn't see what change in 1.7.7 would have caused this. What was your previous version, 1.7.5?

If so, could you try downgrading to 1.7.5 and see if comments then work again?

Maybe its also related to the template, maybe you'll try to switch to another template to see if that works? The bug that Timbalu mentioned in the other thread does not seem related to this to me, too.

We'll need to investigate this before a possible 1.7.8...

Garvin

I can not confirm this with any of the three 1.7.7 blogs I have access to, including one using 2k11 (like rowi's blog does).

I would still suggest trying to switch the template here, but if that fixes it, I think it's more likely a plugin is causing the comments issue. My dev blog with 1.7.7 and 2k11 has not lost its comments.

the previous Version was 1.7.4, i'll try a downgrade

I've switched the theme and now the comments are shown again.
So it's 2k11 related (also without my user.css).

Edit: I've uploaded the 2k11 from s9y 1.7.5 and now everything is back to normal
I'd like to help and test what's causing this if it helps yellowled.

I wouldn't know what to test here. The only change in 2k11 between 1.7.5 and 1.7.5 was related to the template chooser plugin, see f23743. (Which is code by Garvin since it's related to the actual plugin.)

What might be important: Is this (apart from your user.css) a vanilla 2k11 from the 1.7.5 core or does it include any changes (especially to the .tpl files) made by you? Again, the vanilla 2k11 from 1.7.7 works just fine in my test blog …

I've uploaded the vanilla 2k11 directory from the s9y 1.7.5 tgz I just downloaded.
I've never cleaned the directory on server side, so it might contain old files from all other versions of 2k11, though. OTH all files used by 2k11 are within the 1.7.7 archive and would be overwritten. And everything is fine after I uploaded the 1.7.5 Version into this directory.

And everything is fine after I uploaded the 1.7.5 Version into this directory.

Hrml. I have no idea what this might be. My next suggestion would be to upload the 2k11 from 1.7.7 to i.e. /templates/2k11-newer/, change the template name in /templates/2k11/info.txt and see if that works.

But frankly, this would just poking around. Even if that works or doesn't, I wouldn't know where to even suspect issues. Maybe Garvin sees some kind of connection to the latest changes in 1.7.7 …

That worked.
So I've renamed the old working 2k11 folder to 2k11-1.7.5 and the 2k11-new back to 2k11 so that it will be updated by future versions.

strange problem, not a bug. Solved

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Maybe just a cache fu? You didn't by any chance clean out /templates_c/ at any point?

[rowi]

no, I haven't cleaned templates_c
