… when you are using JSKit (Echo) Patched template version (not the widget version they have now) and your blogger comment dashboard is showing 0 comments? I am having a bit of joint pain today but I wanted to write this post before I really got to rest my wrist..
My blogger dashboard for this blog used to show me 0 comments on some post even though I know for a fact that there were comments there before. So when I actually moved to wordpress yesterday, I was ready to see 0 comments on my blog but… lo and behold there were comments on those post even though blogger dashboard was showing 0..
See the difference here? The same post is showing 0 comment on blogger on 15 March but showing 11 comments on wordpress dashboard yesterday.
Post with 0 Comments
Post showing 11 Comments
Anyway I was surfing at Evan’s mom blog today and she highlighted a known problem with blogger about missing comments, so I thought it might be a glitch somewhere. So here’s a way to check if your comments are really missing or is it just not displaying comments on your dashboard.
First thing first, login into you JSKit dashboard and under commenting option, scroll down and check that your blog is set to synchronized with blogger. If it is.. then good, you can proceed, if not.. then you probably REALLY don’t have comments at your blogger..:(
Ok.. so now if your comments are synchronized…
- Go to your blogger layout>>edit html
- MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR BLOG and save it safely by “Download Full Template”. *** DO NOT MISS THIS STEP ***
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see
Revert Widget
- When you click this link, you will remove the JS from your template but you will also remove most customized widget that is included in your template
- Now check that post that is showing 0 comments on your dashboard and see if there are any comments displaying on the blog post instead. If it’s there.. then you are save to revert back to your blogger commenting system..
- PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME TEMPLATE GOES HAYWIRE WHEN YOU DO IT ESPECIALLY IF YOUR TEMPLATE IS VERY HEAVILY CUSTOMISED
- If this happens, upload the backup template and all will be restore again together with your JSKit commenting system.
So the choice is up to you now..if your template does not go haywire after the removal widget process and if comments are there, then you switch back to blogger commenting system if you want to..
If your template goes haywire.. then you can take note of which widget is causing the craziness and add that up to the template again.
Good luck!
Cheerio…
