Title: comment preview Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # comment preview * [vicar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicar/) * (@vicar) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/) * i have just tried to download several plug-ins to allow comment previews from the wordpress plug-in directory….None of them works. I’m betting there is something that I’m missing. * I’ve done other plug-ins and had no problems. I am downloading, opening, then uploading to the server. I activate the plug-in on the admin panel, but nothing happens…there is no preview. * any ideas?

This requires editing your comments.php (in my case). I looked for the `
` section and right after it I added (for example) `` , your plugin’s function may be named differently. * Thread Starter [vicar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicar/) * (@vicar) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/#post-453893) * 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 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. * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/#post-453918) * Do a ‘view source’ of your page and see if the `` section has a `` statement in it (or a similar statement calling your comment preview). * Thread Starter [vicar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicar/) * (@vicar) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/#post-453941) * 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 in my comments.php file, nothing happens. * Please advise. * Many thanks! * Thread Starter [vicar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicar/) * (@vicar) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/#post-453942) * 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. * Thread Starter [vicar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vicar/) * (@vicar) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-preview/#post-453944) * 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.
