Will making these changes as he suggested affect the comments section when disqus does not load. Thanks Lazlomass for the solution! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-8887 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 08:53:49 +0000 Dude 8887@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>It seems like Disqus uses the avatar images as a "list style type" - Kriesi uses dots as background images for unordered lists, Disqus uses avatar images for its comments lists. The only solution to make both compatible is to change the css of Disqus a bit. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-8861 Sat, 13 Nov 2010 12:35:20 +0000 Dekuwa 8861@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Any news about this? I have the same problem :-/ </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-6979 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 14:37:37 +0000 lazlomass 6979@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It's the CSS. However, I did replace the comments.php with the comments.php from the WordPress default theme just to be safe.</p> <p>In Style.css comment out:<br /> .js_active #main img{<br /> visibility: hidden;<br /> }</p> <p>This will allow you to see avatars.</p> <p>In style1.css, style2.css, style3.css, style4.css (depends on your colour scheme) comment out:<br /> #top .entry ul li {<br /> background:transparent url(../images/skin1/bullet1.png) no-repeat scroll 0 9px;<br /> }</p> <p>This will allow you to see the social login buttons.</p> <p>I'm not sure what these CSS styles do. I'm still figuring it out but they are the cause.</p> <p>I would suggest using FireBug to tinker with your CSS. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-6515 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 07:34:14 +0000 Dude 6515@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm sorry I couldn't find a solution. As it's a third party plugin it's not officially supported. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-6485 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:27:53 +0000 wbracken258 6485@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Any update on this? I also notice that in the "Add New Comment" box, the choices for login (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) do not appear (there should be logos there) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5473 Sat, 25 Sep 2010 16:15:24 +0000 Dude 5473@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>As far as I know this callback function is the only php related modification to the comments. Maybe there're some css changes which cause your error. Please try to "deactivate" the css files (just rename them for a short time and check if the avatars appear.) If not, I need to look into it a bit deeper or I ask James for help.</p> <p>The Dude </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5441 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:00:06 +0000 arwengrim 5441@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks but actually it didn't change anything. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5428 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:57:49 +0000 Dude 5428@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Try to replace it with following code:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;ol class=&quot;commentlist&quot;&gt; &lt;?php wp_list_comments(); ?&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;</code></pre> <p>Kriesi uses a callback function to give the comments listing an individual style. You can have a look at the reference <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5424 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:16:01 +0000 arwengrim 5424@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes that's how far I got when I tried looking into it. But what do I do from here to "deactivate" it and use wp's built in comment listing instead? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5411 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 06:32:21 +0000 Dude 5411@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>In comments.php you'll find following code which lists the comments:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;ol class=&quot;commentlist&quot;&gt;&lt;!--one comment--&gt; &lt;?php wp_list_comments(&#39;callback=custom_comments&#39;); ?&gt; &lt;!--end of one comment if you would like to seperate comments and pings please search for english tutorials--&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5375 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:16:20 +0000 arwengrim 5375@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Here is a screenshot when using another theme (in this case Thesis): <a href="http://awesomescreenshot.com/0da1mthd6" rel="nofollow">http://awesomescreenshot.com/0da1mthd6</a><br /> Disqus avatars has worked without any problems with any other theme i've ever used. Something must be altered in the comment code for Newscast compared with other themes. </p> <p>I'm no coding specialist but i've seen that the theme contains its own function for listing comments. wp_list_comments.php holds this function within the theme and the function is called "function custom_comments".</p> <p>I'm greatly thankful that you are trying to help me, even though you suspect its a third party plugin problem. However I actually think the problem reside in newscast and this particular custom comment function or something similair since it works with other themes that use the vanilla way of listing comments.</p> <p>For me personally it would be enough to know how to turn this function off cos then I'm quite certain it will work again. Now I think this extra part disrupts the way Disqus works partially. Eg. where to remove the call for the custom function or something like that. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5347 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 06:19:01 +0000 Dude 5347@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Do you have a screenshot which shows how it should look like? I can't see any avatar image files in the source code. We don't support third party plugins offically (we try our best to help you though).</p> <p>The Dude </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/avatars-will-not-show-when-using-disqus-as-comment-system#post-5338 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:16:06 +0000 arwengrim 5338@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>When using the highly popular comment system Disqus the avatars doesn't show. I see that there is room for them and so on but they aren't visible.
