Usually you are required to make a ‘call’ to the plugins functions from within your page. This requires editing your comments.php (in my case). I looked for the <form> section and right after it I added (for example) <?php live_preview() ?> , your plugin’s function may be named differently.

Thank you! I had not done this…so no wonder it couldn’t find the Live Preview plug-in.
Now, I’ve tried adding that line a number of different places in my comments.php file and, alas, nothing happens (still).
I am using the default, Kubrick, template. I don’t see a specific <form> section, so have tried moving the line around here and there. Anything else I should look for?
I’d be happy to send the lines of code if that would help, but I think it’s the standard.
Thanks again.
Do a ‘view source’ of your page and see if the <head> section has a <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/live-comment-preview/live-comment-preview.js"></script>
statement in it (or a similar statement calling your comment preview).

I received a reply by email from the maker of the plug-in for LivePreview saying that I “haven’t upload the javascript file (livepreview.js) into the plugins directory.”
I see that file on the server when I look and I see “Comment Live Preview” activated on the Plug-ins management page of my dashboard.
Does anyone know if there is something else I am supposed to activate?
No matter where I place the text <?php live_preview() ?> in my comments.php file, nothing happens.
Please advise.
Many thanks!

I just tried taking Live Preview off of the server and reloading it, reactivating it as plug-in, and adding the line of text to comments.php.
Nothing.
Any ideas? I just don’t get it.
Thanks much.

Okay…I just deactivated Live Preview and activated Ajaxified Preview. It works.
Would still like to know why the other wouldn’t work…user error no doubt! 😀
Thanks.
