I'm having trouble with the comments feature that is part of Easyblog. The comments form will not show up.

I have checked that Public are able to comment, in my ACL, and that the built-in comments feature in Easyblog>Settings>Comments is enabled.

Can you help?

Thanks!
hey there,

Thanks for temporary disable that IP address restrictions, I found out you hitting this following error :

SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed


If you would like to fix this, I would suggest you pass this reference link to your webhosting http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6400300/https-and-ssl3-get-server-certificatecertificate-verify-failed-ca-is-ok

It seems like your server still using the old CA certs and it will reject all SSL certificates as unverifiable when connect to CURL.

By the way, I have temporary added this following code into this file JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\captcha\adapters\recaptcha.php :

// LINE 106
curl_setopt($rCURL, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

So it will not use SSL VERIFYPEER before submit the comment, it should work fine now.

Hey there,

I've checked in your backend Easyblog acl public user group settings, it seems like `post comment` options you set to NO, I already help you set it to YES, the guest user should be able to comment in your post.

You can take a look of your blog here -> http://yourdomain.org/index.php/blog

Hope this help.

Is it possible provide us with your FTP access so we can troubleshoot on this issue?

You can put your FTP details from your first post, just edit the post at above.

Hey there,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've tried to install OSE-fileman component in your site, but when I done my editing the file through this component and click save, then I hitting following error :
Sucuri Website Firewall - cloudProxt - Access denied


hm, it seems like your server blocking me edit the file from your server.

Can you request with your webshosting provider to create a FTP user account so that we can connect with your FTP server then we can debug on there.

At the moment, we can't drop our firewall system, we've had major issues with spam in the past.

If you can tell us what you are looking to change, or investigate, we can see what we can do to help diagnose and fix the problem.

It seems like I still not able to modify the file even you added my Ip address into your white list

You can take a look of my video here : http://screencast.com/t/ZDOUjsaG1gYe

By the way, can you try download my attached file and replace into JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\captcha\adapters\recaptcha.php

After replaced, then enable "error reporting" to maximum from your backend > system > global configuration > server

Then check my video here -> http://screencast.com/t/HnLCmR6L (You can try follow my instruction from video and see the response from your server)

I would like to see what is your server response when you click submit comment button..

I replaced the recaptcha file with the one you gave.
Then enabled error reporting, and used the developer tools to run two tests.

Hi folks, I am having the same problem. Would like to know how to enable comments again.
In my case no comments can be written. You can only read them.

Hey Ralph,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Got 1 section you have to check :
#1. backend > Easyblog > ACL > select your user group > comment tab > post comment - YES

If the comment form still not appear in your site, can you start a new thread and provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this?

I've uploaded your new php file for recaptcha. Also, we've hopefully opened FTP access for you. Details are above.

Really hoping this works!

We've had our network administrator setup FTP access for us. We don't have cpanel.

Give it another go - and let us know if it still isn't working, and how you're trying to access it.

Thanks,
Beth M

I know! 2 weeks is a long time, but we're both working on it

I'm simply accessing the ftp through the chrome web browser. Can you try that?

If it still doens't work, please send me a screenshot or two so I can pass those along to our server administrator.

Thanks,

Beth M

A message from our sysadmin:


I found out that the FTP site has been restricted to certain external hosts. We would need the iP address of your vendor that needs to connect. The Site only allows access to download only. Are they going to need to put files onto the web server?


So - can we get the IP address where you'll be working from? And can you let us know if you will need to upload? Or just download?

Hey Rosanne,

I would suggest that you turn off the IP restrictions temporarily so that we can check on your site's issue. This is because we are working from our home and office and our IP changes whenever we get disconnected. We are running on dynamic ip address.

This is my current ip address, 115.134.196.36

For the next 24hrs - the FTP access will not have any IP address restrictions on it. You should be able to get in.

Thanks,
