WP-Grins - Not working? (2 posts)

    Hi, I just upgraded my Wordpress to the new version 2.2 and I can't seem to get the WP Grins to work. Well, it works half-way but the clickable smilies do not show up for the comment box.

    I can use the clickable smilies and everything in my regular admin panel when I write posts and everything, but nothing shows up for the commenters to use when they go to write a comment.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Or is there anyway to fix this?

    I'm sure I copy and pasted '<?php wp_grins(); ?>' into the correct area on my comments.php file, but it still doesn't show anything.

    Hi,

    Make sure that the code <?php wp_grins();?> is placed right above the <textarea name="comment" ...> tag. Also, make sure that the <textarea>'s id is -> id="comment".

    Also, if you have a custom theme that you have created, you have to make sure that within the <head> ... </head> elements in your header.php, you have put in the function <?php wp_head();?> . A lot of public themes has this function put in, however, if you're like me and you created your theme from scratch, it is possible you've omitted that particular function. So, within the <head> ... </head> structure, make sure you add <?php wp_head();?>.

    Once I did that, the wp-grins plugin started to work.

    Best regards,
