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.
Another way, i recommend using Thesis theme, because it supports threaded comment template so one less plugin used without any hassles, and it is best WordPress theme for SEO.
Anyway, to fix this problem, look for this code in your theme folder → comments.php (after backup the file):
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.

{ 39 comments… read them below or add one }
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.
Hey! Can you please help me with this because it’s not working for me! Pleaaase email.
@alexis belon, I have checked your site, looks like you got it working..if so, thumbs up :)
No. I’m replying from wordpress dashboard. Ideally, I’d like if my readers could hit reply without the error coming up.
@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.
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..
@Dina, worked like a charm ! thanksssss !
@alexis belon, Great!!! so happy to hear, you are most welcome :D
i try cant do la… i dont now why.. so ,… i don’t find at edit theme under comment , method=”post” … at this moment, i deactived this plugin… can help me???
@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..
@Dina, thank u , erm but the reader get the message (from email) from me , if i reply the comment?? about the notification…
@zik, There are some plugins which can do it, try subscribe to comment plugin or replyme plugin, i use both ;)
I hope this will help.
@zik, ok thank u … i got it..
Hi @Dina, I use twentyten themes, and i want to manage comment like you blog *that pretty awesome* using @ and follow up comment. Please advice me, what plugin do you use? Many Thanks. :)
@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.
Now it’s working.
Thank you.
Beautiful voice.
@Derni, i am happy that it worked! :)
Thank you for the flattery :)
@dina, thanks for your advice. I missed the setting option :)
the twentyten header is using Meteor Slides plugin : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meteor-slides/
cheers
@gustulank, Glad that you found it now ;)
Yes, i have read one of your post, it is in Indonesian language, and i understand it, i am an Indonesian as well :D
Nice to meet you gustulank, have a nice day.
Thanks for the tip. It really worked!
@Nabil, Glad it worked out! thanks for commenting :)
OMG i have been trying to fix this for ages and this actually worked! you’re rad, thank you so much =)
@ANNIE, You’re welcome :)
hi dina,
i’ve installed wp thread comments to my new theme.
but after testing it (i comment and try reply), found that i cannot reply. the submit / post comment button not there.
only shown cancel link. thx.
Hello nanahana,
I have checked your site, it is probably caused by your current theme.
I would try to change another theme, just to see if it works, if it does, then it is your theme.
hope this helps.
Hi Kimi.
I have thought about the theme not supporting WP Thread Comments. Its okay. Thanks ;)
Hi Nanahana,
Okay :-)
Yes, some themes are not supporting WP Thread Comment. Though there are lots of themes which support it, or even already have a built-in thread comment without using plugin.
Good luck with your blog :-)
Regards.
I’m using twenty ten theme and there doesn’t appear to be the code “method=post”. I understand that the theme supports nested comments, but I want it to also be able to email commenters when someone responds to their comments, which the default of wordpress doesn’t do.
Any way you know to get threaded comments working with twenty ten theme?
Hi there,
With twenty ten, i would not install threaded comment plugin only because you want to email your commenters when someone responds to their comments.
Check these posts:
1. http://www.blog.web6.org/notify-me-of-followup-comments-via-email-plugin/
This will enable your commenters to subscribe ALL of the new comments.
2. http://www.blog.web6.org/replyme-plugin-your-comment-on-the-post-has-a-new-reply/
This will enable to email ONLY replies to their comments.
I used to have both, but now i use replyme plugin.
I hope this can clear things up.
Kind regards,
Kimi.
Seems to be EXACTLY what I want without a lot of unnecessary code – THANK YOU!!!
Most welcome!
