BLOGGER COMMENTS WONT SHOW UP

BLOGGER COMMENTS WON'T SHOW UP

By David Chan

This might sounds like a common
problems, as there are many articles we can find on the net discussing about this kind of problems. when you search Googles there many different solutions for different kind of symptom as well, please don't think im gonna re-write down what blogger have done on their About Comments , my problem could be hard for most beginners, yes i am the new kid on blogger world of course. Peoples are often focus on the hardest problem first even me, i tried almost everything i read on the net and didn't work out, well its started when i changed my template to the one i use right now MX Fluity by MKR, love its beautiful simple look and i think could be one of the best free responsive template which is really needed nowadays since peoples use many kind of devices to browse the internet. I normally don't really care about comments, when it was taking too much energy to solve it's complicated code and setting (my opinion) i just turn off that feature, so no body can post a comment on my blog. But since it feels pretty lonely without any comments and i think comments will also make our blog looks so alive :) , thats where i start fighting for this one little problem i had since a long time. i thought there's always someone new who just start blogging that might just have the same problem where this simple article might help, so i post it. Besides its always good to take a note on every little things you did.

2 comments hidden when the G+ setting is checked

The problem was everyone can post a comment, but no one could see it even me as an admin of the blog. Yes i couldn't even see my own comment, ok i saw it when i change the "comment location" setting to pop up windows. Its funny of course when you want to see a comment but you need to post a comment first as it will only appear on the popup windows. So i assume there must be something wrong with the template, i start searching on the internet and beg everyone for help, i remember a friend who wrote a special article on her blog just to help me with many complicated HTML code i need to apply on my template, and the problem still there it's just won't go. Try to download the template again and put all back to default setting, it didn't work either. Then i come to a conclusion that there might be an error on blogger setting. I started to compare the setting between my 2 blogs, oops.. yes i see the different, my blog was missing a few setting under the "posts and comments" setting. Check the different between these 2 screenshots below, on the left "posts and comments" setting looks normal, and the other screenshot on the right side all setting under "comments location" were missing it's what happen to my blog where the comment isn't show up at all.

G+ comments setting is unchecked

missing settings when G+ checked 

First thought i might have accidently delete a few HTML code when i do many coding with a very limited knowledge about it :p. but i'm also sure that i did everything very carefully. Tried to roll back using blogger default template didn't help either, i was about to get ready to shutdown the blog and create a new one haha... Start questioning some friends on the internet who use the same template, just to make sure if anything wrong with the template, soon as im positive the template is ok, i switch back to MX Fluity. There i check again all the blogger setting, yes i found the problem, "use G+ comments on this blog" under Google+ tab need to be unchecked if i want the

comment to show up on my blog . It was the setting that made a few setting on the "posts and comments" under "comment location" were missing, that means i cant connect my blog comments with G+. Well one problem solved, at least my blog doesn't look very dead but, people using G+ profile can still comment even it wont connect (shared) to Google+. I was still wondering if we could connect to the blog comments with Google+ without any problem. :). I tried a few tricks like disconnected my blog from my Google+ profile and reconnect again its still didnt work like i have read on the net that is possible to connect between blog and G+ comments to show up on blogger. :) Well thats all for now, hopely this BLOGGER COMMENTS WON'T SHOW UP article would do any good. :)
