A Video how to fix Wp Thread Comment plugin error which says: Can’t find the “commentformid” div error

This happened to me when i switch my old theme to my current theme. When i first installed wp-thread comment plugin with my old theme, i had no problem with it. But not with this theme, i notice it depends on you theme.

However if you found the same error, you can fix it easily by editing comments.php file.
Look for this code:
method="post" and look at the id next to it.
After watching the video you will be able to click “reply” in wordpress comment and your wp-thread-comment error will be fixed nicely.

//Do quick database backup and theme backup first. Here is a video how to backup database in 2 minutes.

1 Brittney { 06.13.10 at 8:30 pm }: Hi there! I just switched from Thesis to a more regular theme (Stilbruch by Amy&Pink) and am having the same issue. Well, two actually. This commentdivid error and now also it isn’t alternating the comments colors??

When I look at the comments.php page for “method=post”, that line of coding has no “id=” piece. Should I add id=commentsformid to it? Help appreciated!

@Brittney, I have downloaded the theme, and try it myself, you can find this line:
<form action="/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" >

And add this: id=”comment_form” at the end, so it will look like this:
<form action="/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="comment_form">

It will show huge avatar size, to solve this, add this code:

.responses img.avatar{width:30px; height:30px;}
in your style.css

Let me know if it helps.

@alexis belon, oh you are right, i tried to reply it still shows error.

Is your theme glossyblue?

I have downloaded glossyblue and all works fine.

4 alexis belon { 07.04.10 at 5:10 pm }: Yes, I’m using glossyblue. I replaced my comments.php with the one the plugin provides. But I couldn’t find a comment form ID anywhere in the coding… I must be slow.

@alexis belon, If you use wp thread comment, once you activate, you don’t need to replace theme comments.php with plugin comments.php.

Hmm..how about copy original glossyblue comments.php and paste it in your current comments.php?

Let me know if this helps..

@zik, I have checked your blog and you use Twenty Ten theme, you don’t need to install wp thread comment if you are using this theme because Twenty Ten already support “threaded comment”.

I hope this helps..

@gustulank, I have checked your blog, you have a cool twenty ten theme headers

Twenty Ten is by default having “threaded comment” support, make sure in discussion settings you have “enabled threaded comment” enabled.

I have posted this in here: http://www.blog.web6.org/set-up-discussion-settings-wordpress/

I use wp-threaded-comment plugin. I hope this help.
