[Plugin: PhotoContest Plugin] Comments not showing up

Can you tell me the WP-version and plugin version?

Thanks,

Has something to do with your template. Still looking for à fix!

So just to be clear:

Using the following settings:
Page type set to Page AND comments set to Open; a page is created to hold the contest. This page has the option Allow comments set to true.
(You will find this under “Pages” –> edit page –> Discussion –> Allow comments)

For some reason, WordPress has this option, but doesn’t do anything with it, because looking into the core of WordPress I find the following (in wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 852):

function comments_template( $file = '/comments.php', $separate_comments = false ) {
    global $wp_query, $withcomments, $post, $wpdb, $id, $comment, $user_login, $user_ID, $user_identity, $overridden_cpage;

    if ( !(is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) || empty($post) )
        return;

Here in the last line I see !(is_page()). This tell the core to return nothing about comments when it is a page.

So why is this option under pages? I don’t know… maybe some ancient code left in the core or a option for plugins who can show comments under pages….

If someone finds such a plugin and has a page working with comments, please post it here. I will try to integrate this into the plugin.

For now, I’m giving up 🙁
