I thought it might be a JavaScript problem, as you have several errors.
It turns out it’s a cross-domain issue. It looks like it doesn’t like the http to https, which is what I assume your admin is protected by.
SCE is trying to access admin-ajax.php, which is in the admin area and is https. Your main domain is http, so there is a cross-domain conflict.
I believe this can be corrected at the server level in your case by making some adjustments to your .htaccess file.
Here are some threads with similar issues:

I’m not really a server person, nor do I know your setup/protection of wp-admin, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
I’ve been googling like crazy and maybe I just needed to point to the non-https version of admin-ajax.php.
Can you try replacing the plugin’s index.php with this one?
If that works, I’ll push out an update.
Thanks!

Hi Ronald,
I replaced the index.php with this new one and that fixed the problem. The plugin is working again!
Thanks,
Jon
Hi Ronald,
I have a copy of the site set up for testing that doesn’t use https for the admin area and in this version of the site the comment feature still isn’t working. You can try it out here.
Thanks,

Hi Ronald,
I found why I’m having a problem. It’s because I was using the Better WordPress Minify plugin. Once I disabled that plugin, the problem went away. However, I still need your fix for https on the main site (even if I disable the Better WordPress Minify plugin).
Thanks,
Jon

Comment editing stopped working for me in 4.4. I tried adding a comment but it no longer allows editing. You can try here
