enable on custom included posts – working solution

Hello Community,
i want to share how i have got my custom include to work and what i have found on the way..

my initial thing you can read at
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/enable-on-custom-included-posts/

i now have a setup that is working – a child theme with some customization:
– there is a custom short-code to include pages and posts into other sites..
– a modified comments.php (copied from twentytwentyone theme:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying comments
 *
 * This is the template that displays the area of the page that contains both the current comments
 * and the comment form.
 *
 * @link https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twenty_One
 * @since Twenty Twenty-One 1.0
 */

/*
 * If the current post is protected by a password and
 * the visitor has not yet entered the password,
 * return early without loading the comments.
 */
if ( post_password_required() ) {
	return;
}

$twenty_twenty_one_comment_count = get_comments_number();
?>

<div
	id="post-comments-area-<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>"
	class="comments-area default-max-width <?php echo get_option( 'show_avatars' ) ? 'show-avatars' : ''; ?>"
>

	<?php if ( '0' !== $twenty_twenty_one_comment_count ) : ?>
		<h2 class="comments-title">
			<?php if ( '1' === $twenty_twenty_one_comment_count ) : ?>
				<?php esc_html_e( '1 comment', 'twentytwentyone' ); ?>
			<?php else : ?>
				<?php
				printf(
					/* translators: %s: Comment count number. */
					esc_html( _nx( '%s comment', '%s comments', $twenty_twenty_one_comment_count, 'Comments title', 'twentytwentyone' ) ),
					esc_html( number_format_i18n( $twenty_twenty_one_comment_count ) )
				);
				?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</h2><!-- .comments-title -->

		<ol class="comment-list">
			<?php
			// we need to manually receive this list..
			$comments = get_comments( array(
		        'post_id' => get_the_ID(),
		        'orderby' => 'comment_date_gmt',
		        'status' => 'approve',
		    ));
			wp_list_comments(
				array(
					'avatar_size' => 60,
					'style'       => 'ol',
					'short_ping'  => true,
				),
				$comments
			);
			?>
		</ol><!-- .comment-list -->

		<?php
		the_comments_pagination(
			array(
				'before_page_number' => esc_html__( 'Page', 'twentytwentyone' ) . ' ',
				'mid_size'           => 0,
				'prev_text'          => sprintf(
					'%s <span class="nav-prev-text">%s</span>',
					is_rtl() ? twenty_twenty_one_get_icon_svg( 'ui', 'arrow_right' ) : twenty_twenty_one_get_icon_svg( 'ui', 'arrow_left' ),
					esc_html__( 'Older comments', 'twentytwentyone' )
				),
				'next_text'          => sprintf(
					'<span class="nav-next-text">%s</span> %s',
					esc_html__( 'Newer comments', 'twentytwentyone' ),
					is_rtl() ? twenty_twenty_one_get_icon_svg( 'ui', 'arrow_left' ) : twenty_twenty_one_get_icon_svg( 'ui', 'arrow_right' )
				),
			)
		);
		?>

		<?php if ( ! comments_open() ) : ?>
			<p class="no-comments"><?php esc_html_e( 'Comments are closed.', 'twentytwentyone' ); ?></p>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<!-- no comments found. -->
	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php
	comment_form(
		array(
			'logged_in_as'       => null,
			'title_reply'        => esc_html__( 'Leave a comment', 'twentytwentyone' ),
			'title_reply_before' => '<h2 class="comment-reply-title">',
			'title_reply_after'  => '</h2>',
			// Change the ID of the comment form from #commentform
			// to #commentform-1234, where 1234 is the ID of the post
			// https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/multiple-comment-forms-reloading-page-on-comment-submit/#post-13554846
			'id_form' => 'commentform-' . get_the_ID(),
		)
	);
	?>

</div><!-- #comments -->

the main parts i changed:
i added a id="post-comments-area-<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>"
so wrapper has a id.
and added the id to the comments form
the second seems to be needed as outlined in
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/multiple-comment-forms-reloading-page-on-comment-submit/#post-13554846
the first does not hurt… – so it is easier to track what is happening..

in my main page the html structure looks like this:

<body class="home page page-id-5 page-parent singular has">
	<div id="page" class="site">
		<!-- ... -->
		<div id="content" class="site-content">
			<div id="primary" class="content-area">
				<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
					<article id="post-5" class="post-5 page type-page status-publish hentry entry">

													</div><!-- #respond -->

											</div>

					</article><!-- #post-5 -->
				</main><!-- #main -->
			</div><!-- #primary -->
		</div><!-- #content -->
		<!-- ... -->
	</div><!-- #page -->
</body>

with this i have the following setup in the wp-ajaxify-comments config:
– Post container selector article[id^='post-']
– Comment pages URL regex /.*/i
– Comment form selector ~.comments-area .comment-form
– Comments container selector ~.comments-area
– Comment paging links selector ~.comments-area *[class^='nav-'] a (not tested)
– Comment links selector ~.comments-area a[href*="/comment-page-"]
– Respond container selector ~.comments-area .comment-respond

one big help to find what selectors i had to use was reading the source code:
https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/wp-ajaxify-comments/trunk/js/wp-ajaxify-comments.js#L506
that made it clear how the plugin is searching for things…

sunny greetings
