    when i post to reddit it takes a tiny thumbnail and the post title and shares to reddit. But on reddit the image doesnt show and i want it much bigger than a thumnail. I also dont want to use the default title i want something specific to my mrmbers.

    another problem is it removes the native comments which is fine if you don’t have any comments. I want the native comments then reddit comment below or above it doesnt matter

    I made some test comments after posting and these comments didnt appear on my wordpress

    hi not sure how i give you the theme only place i have it stored i remember is on my hosting so not sure how i get it to you. It also has a plugin called cornerstone that it uses so you will need that as well

    this is a goos example https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigureGeek/comments/1nzf1g7/the_new_transformers_mdlx_optimus_prime_comic/

    im using the reddit android app

    you can also see how links are not displaying correctly.

    also no comment levels are currently showing

    and the hide, upvote, diwnvote and share buttons have no functionslity.

    I have sent the theme, hopefully to that email you gave me

    Here is what im saying about the link is missing when you click the image

    Post example

    Image 1 shows the post in the reddit sub via the app

    Image 2 shows what happens whe you click the titlem you get the snippet and the link and if you then scroll down you see the comments

    Image 3 shows what you see when you click the image, you lose the title, keep the snippet and lose the link but when you scroll you see the comments.

    What im getting at is if you never click teh title you never see the link but you still see all the comments, so you could read a whole thread and never even realise there is an article cause the link is only shown when you click the title.

    All of this is per the reddit android app.

    Just updated the plugin and now the comments just say loading so went to the settings page to try to reset with reddit but the settings page is not loading its just a blank screen so can’t disconnect and reconnect?

    I have cleared my site cache to see if that was an issue but its not changed anything.

    Also tried deactivating and re activating but thesettings page is still not loading nor are existing comments.

    Hi,

    I have the theme and I have a “Radle above WordPress” working. Its a patch. X theme does not have the comments_template_top hook which is needed. I have it using an earlier hook if this one does not exist, but IMO, it does not look as good as when it appears below.

    1.2.4 should fix the broken settings page. Then resave the settings in the Comment Management section and that should fix any issues with the comments not loading.

    Regarding Reddit App bevavior:

    What we see when we click on the title:

      What we see when we click on the image. I had to click on “Show more” to reveal the link, which I believe is the issue you are having.

      What happens if you post with the template like this, putting the link above the exceprt? That might help.


      [{post_title_escaped}]({post_permalink})

      {post_excerpt}

      Hello, i have updated Radle but the settings page is still blank. Comments are still no loading on existing posts shared to reddit.

      Will the new version fix the links and images in comments, not displaying correctly problem and the functionally for the buttons in the comments issues?

      Hello, the latest update has fixed the settings page not showing problem and comments ae showing again.

      I tried the suggestion to move the permalink up above the excerpt and it moves it when you click the title but if you click the image the title goes and the excerpt appears but still no link even though the link is moved in the posting settings.

      Links and images added to reddit appear as html code on wordpress

      The share and hide buttons on comments have no functionality and the upvote and downvote buttons just link back to reddit and have no fuctionality, along with reply thats 3 links back to reddit.

      Im also still no able to move comments above wordpress comments, are you able to put a hide native comments button that you can apply to individual posts so wordpress comments are always on but can just be hidden on individual posts?

      I am also not able to update or save posts when the radle is activated?

      when you click the image it opens up on reddit. Why does it need to open up? Is that a reddit feature or something you can control?

      Quick update. I have a shared post that is getting comments https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigureGeek/comments/1o1491h/what_do_we_think_of_the_transformers_cliffjumper/

      but not all the comments are showing, i understand that nested comments after a reply don’t show, i dont think enough levels are showing but i also have comments that are not nested that are also not showing.

      im sorry for all the feedback im having to give

      Links and images added to reddit appear as html code on wordpress

      Fix on the way.

      I tried the suggestion to move the permalink up above the excerpt and it moves it when you click the title but if you click the image the title goes and the excerpt appears but still no link even though the link is moved in the posting settings.

      I am not sure if this is fixable then. On Android, when you click the image, does it offer a “Show more” dropdown like it does on iOs? I’m just curious.

      The share and hide buttons on comments have no functionality and the upvote and downvote buttons just link back to reddit and have no fuctionality, along with reply thats 3 links back to reddit.

      I just tested the hide functionality and it does hide the comments for non-logged in users if the admin clicks the hide button.

      The reply button has to send the user to reddit under the current model since all discussion has to occur on the Reddit platform.

      Fix is on the way with the share button not working. It should copy the assembled reddit comment link to the clipboard.

      when you click the image it opens up on reddit. Why does it need to open up? Is that a reddit feature or something you can control?

      Its not something I can control unfortunately. The alternative is to post the URL as a link and have reddit auto-embed the image— but as you noticed, the image becomes a small thumbnail.

      Its opening up because we are uploading the image to the post as an image, essentially creating a gallery like experience. It makes the share look better, but it also makes the image an attachment rather than a link to the article.

      Im also still no able to move comments above wordpress comments, are you able to put a hide native comments button that you can apply to individual posts so wordpress comments are always on but can just be hidden on individual posts?

      In the latest release, Radle above WordPress placement should work with X theme. But it’s not pretty. If you want the comments above, I’d recommend adding the shortcode to your theme template manually. Here’s a screenshot of X theme with the Radle comments above the WordPress core comments:

      I am also not able to update or save posts when the radle is activated?

      Is this still the case after updating? I am unable to repeat on any of my tests.

      I’m going to go ahead and push the updates for you.

      I am noticing some funky behavior from the Reddit API today.

      but not all the comments are showing, i understand that nested comments after a reply don’t show, i dont think enough levels are showing but i also have comments that are not nested that are also not showing.

      “Max Sibling Comments” currently limits the # of consecuative comments to 5, no matter what number of levels are set to reveal. Greater control here is a pro feature.

      im sorry for all the feedback im having to give

      No worries! I appreciate your help here. I don’t have beta testers or a lot of users here. This is a hobby work for the most part (lots of hobbies to work on). Thank you for being patient with improvements.

      Hello, on Android when i click more it shows the excerpt and no link.

      So the plugin shows a max of 5 comments? Have i got that correct? Does’nt seem like enough when comments can easily get into the 100s.

      Ty. Yes I don’t think there’s anything I can do about this at the moment. On web browser, if you click the image, only the image shows. On iOS, the image shows, with the description below it and we have to click “Show more” to reveal the link.

      A solve would be to make sure the first comment of the Image style post is also a link to the comment. You can do this is you moderate all your automated posts, and manually add the first comment before approving them.

      Yes, each level will limit to 5 only side by side. The pro version allows for much larger number of siblings. Pro currently goes up to 30 siblings. I’ve not run into a case yet where a user desires more. When working with the API, there will be limits to what we can pull from the Reddit server. I’d have to look into it when the time/user-need came.

      Hi

      I have thought about adding the first comment with a link but then that uses up one of your 5 comments. 5 is just not enough for the free version.

      I have updated the plugin and links now seem to work but images and gifs in comments don’t work, see here https://actionfiguregeek.com/unleash-your-inner-hero-a-deep-dive-into-the-threezero-dlx-spider-man-advanced-suit-2-0-action-figure/

      and if you go here you will see that not all the comments that should be showing are showing https://actionfiguregeek.com/all-new-transformers-cliffjumper-comic-book-edition-mdlx-action-figure/

      the 5th comment by albatross is only the second level 1 comment the others are nested so level 3 are not set to show ( Level 1 comment —- a reply to a comment = Level 2 (nested) any replies to the level 2 don’t show)

      This is my understanding.

      Will bump to 10.

      Will add in gif support in next release (eta tomorrow)

      I took a look and it looks like correct behavior for sorting by new (https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigureGeek/comments/1o1491h/what_do_we_think_of_the_transformers_cliffjumper/?sort=new)

      There are 2 level one comments (main level), and 1 level two comments, which then there is 2 level three comments under your level two reply.

      1-1) Aw… (show)
      1-2) Ri… (show)
      2-1) Af… (show)
      3-1) Ri… (not shown)
      3-2) Aw… (not shown)

      I note on Reddit there are more options for sorting comments as in Best and Top will they be added?

      Im struggling a bit with nested comments. On wordpress the conversation starts but then stops when really it is continuing of reddit.

      Its counter productive to send visitors away to reddit to read more comments, you don’t mind them going to reddit to have their say but the longer they stay on site the better.

      Ideally i would like to see more comments on the post, more of the conversation but i get why you have set it up how it is set up

      They’re available in Pro.

      Im struggling a bit with nested comments. On wordpress the conversation starts but then stops when really it is continuing of reddit.

      It should indicate when there are more comments off platform. The Pro version alows for more siblings and deeper nesting. Even with Pro though, we could see limits.

      Thanks! Yes, the incentives are in place and appear to be working. Encouraging to read from the other side of the seat.
