# [Plugin: Comment Rating] Incompatible with Thesis theme?

 * I have seen this work on other sites to great effect. Unfortunately, this is 
   not compatible with Thesis 1.7; at least not out of the box. I see that there
   has already been some discussion on this on the developer’s foum, but I do not
   see any solution and I was unable to leave a comment there (bizarre comment box
   problem).
 * Any tips — on how to adapt this for Thesis or on another Thesis-compatible plugin
   that provides the same — would be very welcome.

 * It’s a bug in Thesis 1.7.
 * You’ll have to modify /lib/classes/comments.php in Thesis 1.7
 * Around line 276 you’ll see:
    if ($output) echo $output;
 * Change it to:
    if ($output) echo apply_filters(‘comment_text’,$output);

 * Thesis users – There is no need to edit your Thesis core files as bobking has
   suggested.
 * The fix is very simple using one of Thesis’ built-in filters. Just put this in
   your custom/custom_functions.php file:
 * function filter_comment_text($output) {
    return apply_filters(‘comment_text’,
   $output); } add_filter(‘thesis_comment_text’,’filter_comment_text’);
 * Done!

 * Thanks Dameian, but it was actually bobking’s tip that worked for me. (Not sure
   why yours didn’t.) I appreciate that all of you took the time to help me out!
   Sorry for not updating the thread sooner with my results.

 * An issue I was getting was this error, function ckratingKarma not defined. All
   you need to do is call the ck-karma.js file to fix that. Now the rating system
   worked.
 * Call this in the footer.php:
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”/wp-content/
   plugins/comment-rating/ck-karma.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>
