    Hello,

    After spending many hours searching for a suitable theme, I ran across Tempera and it has all the features I am looking for and the right look. Thanks for your efforts.

    I have attempted to install several plugins for comment subscription and the check boxes don’t show up. See also: http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/how-to-make-the-plugin-subscribe-to-comments-work

    They work with other themes. I tried several plugins. At one time, I could see the check box but no text. I have not been able to replicate that. I have tried the show/hide comment text, etc. in the theme settings and nothing seems to help. Do you know why these plugins are not working? Could be related to this: “The actual display of comments is handled by a callback to tempera_comment which is located in the includes/theme-comments.php file.”?

    I am not highly skilled with php, but I know a bit about programming. I love the theme and have not experienced other problems yet. I hope you can offer a solution.

    Thanks,
    KingWm

    I did a bit more checking. I have been testing using a subscriber that I created with no luck. However, I tried it once while signed in as admin and I can see the text under the comment form and it appears to be working only for admin. I reassigned the role for the subscriber to each of the other roles, and it would only work with admin. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Comment-related plugin usually hook their content to the comment form labels (which Tempera hides for aesthetic reasons).
    body #respond label { display: initial; }
    will restore them.

    I have been trying to figure out where to put that code. Would you please direct me to where I should insert that?

    Thanks

    Found it! It doesn’t go in a php file, but it goes in “Custom CSS” in the Tempera Settings page, under Miscellaneous Settings. I was looking through the theme files looking for a place to put the code, and eventually wound up looking in the style.css file and the note near the top of the file gave me a clue.

    All CSS we usually recommend on the forum is to be placed in the theme’s Custom CSS field (that what it is for).

    It works in the style.css as well, but remember all theme files are replaced on update so any changes get lost. If you have a complex child theme, you can use its style.css file.
