 * We are planning on changing the plugin that we are currently using on our site
   for managing comments and was thinking if are we going to lose the comments on
   the posts previously made with the old comment plugin?
 * Thanks for the answers!

 * My apologies, the current plugin in we are using is the “wpDiscuz – WordPress
   Comments” plugin and we wanted to change it to “Comments Evolved for WordPress”
   as it’s more social.

 * Ok, any plugin you start using should be able to import comments from WordPress’s
   comments system, which means that as long as the comments are still in WordPress’s
   system, you should have no problem.
 * At the moment, I can’t find anything suggest that wpDiscuz has its own separate
   comment system.
 * If the comments appear in the Comments section of your blog’s Dashboard, it should
   be safe to move.

 * Hi curiouswriter,
 * You can make “Comments Evolved” compatible with wpDiscuz it should be changed
   from “Comments Evolved” side, it can’t be done from wpDiscuz.
 * Please open includes/templates/partials/wordpress.php file in “Comments Evolved
   for WordPress” plugin folder, find this code:
 *     ```
       if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php')) {
       	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php';
       } elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php')) {
       	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php';
       }
       ```
   
 * And change it to this:
 *     ```
       if(file_exists(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/comment-form/form.php')){
       	include_once ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/comment-form/form.php';
       }elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php')) {
       	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php';
       } elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php')) {
       	include_once TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments.php';
       }
       ```
