Hi,
HivePress implements reviews as comments of a custom type, so reviews are displayed in the WordPress/Comments section. Other comments or comment types shouldn’t be hidden so if you post a blog comment it should also appear there. For example, WooCommerce implements reviews in the same way.
Hope this helps.
Let me try to explain this better.
When your plugin is activated, it messes up the functionality of Comments. It displays only Hivepress comments(reviews) and Hivepress notifications. ie: 2 comments of which 1 is pending (2 reviews I created).
When your plugin is NOT activated, the functionality of Comments works as it should. 21 comments of which 4 are pending.
Other comments or comment types shouldn’t be hidden so if you post a blog comment it should also appear there.
Not Happening! Fix.
I don’t understand why you feel the need to piggy back on other plugins to make your plugin work. It’s open source. Copy & paste. Change a few variables and make it independent. This is a very cool plugin with some really nice features.
Hope you get it.
If possible provide more details for reproducing this issue, both regular comments and reviews appear when I test this locally and on the demo site https://tinyurl.com/y2r3r9h5 Please also try disabling third-party plugins in case if it’s a code conflict.
HivePress doesn’t need any third-party plugins to work, this was just an example that it’s a common practice to implement reviews as comments. We try to keep it as independent as possible, providing the core plugin, a starter theme and free extensions with the essential directory features.

As it turns out, it’s the way you use the comment system that is causing the problem. Other plugins can not differentiate between a Hivepress review vs. a Hivepress message and a normal comment.
Leave a few “Reply To Listing” messages and notice they do not appear as a comment until you deactivate Hivepress. The problem is that other plugins just see everything as a comment.
One example.

Yes, HivePress implements messages as hidden comments of “hp_message” type, if some plugin targets regular blog comments it should specify the “comment” type explicitly, otherwise it’ll affect all the comment types registered by other plugins (this is a core WordPress API). Please contact the comment notification plugin author.
