Replies to comments in groups don't show to guests

[dolphspeed99]

Hi,
I noticed what I concluded to be a HUGE bug in your theme. It involved BuddyPress and the replies to comments in activity streams.
I only use the groups function and I noticed that the replies given to a comment posted in a group are not visible to logged out members (or guests). As a guest I can only see the original comments, but after I log in, I can also see the replies for those comments. This was a bug that was fixed in BuddyPress 2.1 and, when changing to 2015 theme, all works out well. BuddyPress support also pointed out that this is a theme related problem.
Please take a look at the following screenshots and you will understand the problem.

I found the issue. Try this out.

Open up /kleo/buddpypress/activity/entry.php. Scroll down to the following line (should be line 89)

COPY CODE

<?php if ( ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_activity_can_comment() ) || bp_is_single_activity() ) : ?>

and change it to this

COPY CODE

<?php if ( ( bp_activity_get_comment_count() && bp_activity_can_comment() ) || bp_is_single_activity() ) : ?>

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

I’m not sure if it has something to do with the fix you sent me, but I noticed another problem, that wasn’t there before the fix: I can’t comment to all updates in the group. Regular behavior is that when I click on “Comment” (Comentariu on my website, as it is in Romanian language), a small textarea displays just below and I can write my comment. On updates that already have comments I can do this, but the textarea doesn’t appear on new updates.

When I want to write a comment on a fresh update, the URL changes, and at the end of the URL something like this appears: /?ac=229/#ac-form-229

If I click on Comment to an update that already has comments, the URL is not changing.

Thank you!

Your jquery is broken because of these errors. The Meta Data Filter plugin is probably causing the issue.

I forward this to the plugin developer, but this is strange, because the 2015 theme, with the same active plugins, is working without a problem. But I will wait to see what’s the answer from the plugin developer.

Thank you!
