I expect that you are using WPML, this is a known bug/challenge with WPML.
If the file “comments.png” exists in your images subfolder of your active theme, Frontier post will use this.
A workaround could be to copy the comment icon (wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-comments.png)
to:
../wp-content/themes/[Your Active Theme]/images/comments.png
It might work …..

Hi Finnj,
Yes, I’m using WPML. I copied the ‘wp-comments.png’ as ‘wp-comments.png’ as well as ‘comments.png’ to both the images folder and the active theme images subfolder, but it doesn’t work. Good that you mention it as a known issue with WPML, I can ask them to fix it.
Thanks,
Leon

Hi,
If you can ask them how to avoid that /?lang=fr/ is addedto the url.
I am using this piece of code to display the comment icon, and I believe that WordPress finds the icon as a file, but the url to the file is wrong, as WPML most likely appends the language to the bloginfo
Code:
function frontier_get_comment_icon()
{
$comment_icon = TEMPLATEPATH."/images/comments.png";
if (file_exists($comment_icon))
{
$comment_icon_html = "<img src='".get_bloginfo('template_directory')."/images/comments.png'></img>";
}
else
{
$comment_icon = ABSPATH."/wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-comments.png";
// if no icon in theme, check wp-includes, and if it isnt the use a space
if (file_exists($comment_icon))
{
$comment_icon_html = "<img src='".get_bloginfo('url')."/wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-comments.png'></img>";
}
else
{
$comment_icon_html = " ";
}
}
return $comment_icon_html;
}
My name is Helena and I am from WPML team. I am contacting you about Leon’s problem.
We would like to work together in solving this problem and making your theme/plugin compatible with WPML.
Could you please drop me a line back? [email protected]

No, not yet.
WPML could not help with the issue unless I did a full registration in their partner program – I will do that once I am ready with the new version (a couple of weeks), and then I dont know how long time it will take.
As for the specific issue, I might have an idea to solve it, buta I need your help as I dont have WPML.
Do you have a test system, and are you capable of editing php files ?

If you have a test system, can you try and insert the below code temporarily in the frontier_list form in the forms directory, in the line after <?php
and then let me know what the output is.
//test comment icon
echo "<hr>";
$theme_icon = get_template_directory_uri()."/images/comments.png";
$frontier_icon = get_stylesheet_directory_uri()."/plugins/frontier-post/comments.png";
$wp_icon = includes_url()."/images/wlw/wp-comments.png";
echo "Theme Icon: get_template_directory_uri() -->".$theme_icon."/plugins/frontier-post/comments.png"." | icon: <img src='".$theme_icon."'></img>"."<br>";
echo "Child theme Icon: get_stylesheet_directory_uri() -->".$frontier_icon." | icon: <img src='".$frontier_icon."'></img>"."<br>";
echo "WP Icon: includes_url() -->".$wp_icon." | icon: <img src='".$wp_icon."'></img>"."<br>";
echo "<hr>";

Hi,
This should work, and will be in the new version.
Go to the php file frontier_post_util.php and find the function
and the comment out the existing function by adding /* before the function and */ after the function, and then paste the below in:
function frontier_get_comment_icon()
{
// first Frontier Post template folder
$comment_icon = get_stylesheet_directory()."/plugins/frontier-post/comments.png";
if (file_exists($comment_icon))
{
$comment_icon_html = "<img src='".get_stylesheet_directory_uri()."/plugins/frontier-post/comments.png'></img>";
}
else
{
// Then the theme (not child theme folder)
$comment_icon = get_template_directory()."/images/comments.png";
// if no icon in theme, check wp-includes, and if it isnt the use a space
if (file_exists($comment_icon))
{
$comment_icon_html = "<img src='".get_template_directory_uri()."/images/comments.png'></img>";
}
else
{
// Fallback, the standard wp comment icon
$comment_icon_html = "<img src='".includes_url()."/images/wlw/wp-comments.png'></img>";
}
}
return $comment_icon_html;
}
