Error in combination with Jetpack comments

On my blog https://melo.myds.me/wordpress
me and my visitors are experiencing a problem when submitting a comment.

I have latest version of WP-Piwik and Jetpack installed and configured and use the Jetpack comment feature.
Whenever I enter a comment and submit, instead of the new comment, this is what is displayed:
```
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 6 at column 34: Entity 'hellip' not defined
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
```
A vistor of my blog reported a similar looking error:
```
Erreur d’analyse XML : entité non définie
Emplacement : https://melo.myds.me/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php?for=jetpack
Numéro de ligne 6, Colonne 26 : Submitting Comment & hellip ;
```
Which translates to this:
```
XML Parse Error: undefined entity
Location: https://melo.myds.me/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php?for=jetpack
line number 6, Column 26: Submitting Comment & hellip ;
```
When refreshing the page the error is not displayed anymore and the comment shows up as expected.

Only other plugins I use are Akismet and Disable XML-RPC Pingback.
Standard comment box works fine.
When WP-Piwik is disable, Jetpack comment box works fine, too.

Has anyone experienced the same issues?
I am happy for any leads I can get on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance!

Are you using WP-Piwik in PHP or in HTTP mode? If you are using PHP, can you please try to switch to HTTP? Maybe this will give us a hint how to solve this.

Thank you!

Hi there,

thank you very much for the hint!
Actually I was using WP-Piwik in PHP mode. I switched to HTTP mode and I can not reproduce the error this way. So I will keep using HTTP mode for now. This way I can activate the Jetpack comments again.

Let me know how I can help to find the reason why PHP mode is not working anymore (at least it is not working on my setup).

This same error message is displayed when attempting to run the Woocommerce Setup Wizard with Wp-Piwik activated. The HTML entity is 'rsaquo' instead of 'hellip'

Switching Wp-Piwik to the Http Mode or deactivating Wp-Piwik both made the problem go away with this plugin combination as well.

While I was trying to understand what happens here, I also found this post:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/jetpack-comments-box-error-on-submission

It describes this error, too, and is marked as “resolved” by the Jetpack team. So I can close it here, too? Can you give further information how it was solved?

Well it wasn’t really solved over at the Jetpack team. I think the devs were informed, but they took the disussion on the e-mail channel and closed the issue.

However the error still persists and only your suggestion to switch from PHP to the HTTP mode allows me to use both plugins without running into that error.

Ok, thank you. It’s a bit confusing, because they marked it as “closed” and “resolved“.

Then I will dig into this again. 😉
