OK, no worries, I’ll do some more testing and see how it goes.

Cheers!

hi Bogdan,

sorry to bother you again about this issue.

I upgraded to the latest version of the Newspaper theme, and then attempted to re-implement this fix in the code.

However, with this fix implemented, the #li-comment links do nothing but direct you to the article which hosts the comment. For example, with the code fix implemented in the newest version of the Newspaper theme, this link:

https://delimiter.com.au/2016/01/18/61-agencies-apply-for-metadata-access/#li-comment-712564

Would redirect here:

https://delimiter.com.au/2016/01/18/61-agencies-apply-for-metadata-access/

With the fix implemented, the #comment links work as intended … but now the #li-comment links are broken.

Obviously this is an issue … a number of readers have complained about the #li-comment links not working any more. So I have reverted the fix and am now running just default Newspaper theme.

Could you let me know, is there a workaround for this? As it stands, after the Newspaper theme update, I’m now back where I started 🙁 I can only surmise that something changed in the latest theme update to break this fix.

Kind regards, and thanks for any help you can provide.

No worries, thanks for the help!

Renai

Awesome, it’s fixed!

Much appreciated, this is great 😀 You guys rock.

I have to say, this is the best WordPress theme I have ever used, and you guys have the best support. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it!

Sorry I was a bit pushy. Should have been more polite.

But you guys rock as always 🙂

“I have tested this a bit and it seems that the standard behavior of the theme is to point to the specific comment. If you are trying to access for example comment 712564 it will take you to that comment in particular.”

hi Bogdan,

I’m not sure you understand what I am talking about here.

The standard behaviour of the WordPress CMS, when you click a comment link from within the CMS admin interface, is to take you to the top of that comment, so that you can read it.

The behaviour of the Newspaper theme currently takes you to the bottom of the comment, so that you have to additionally scroll up to read the comment. This may seem like a small issue, but on a large site like Delimiter, which gets thousands of comments, it causes reader and admin frustration.

Do you see what I’m saying here?

I encourage you to click on the following link, and note that you still need to scroll up to actually read the comment:

https://delimiter.com.au/2016/01/18/61-agencies-apply-for-metadata-access/#comment-712564

Can you let me know if there is some kind of fix or workaround for this? Perhaps there is someone at TagDiv that this issue could be escalated to?

Kind regards,

Renai

“Is this standard behaviour for the plugin?”

Sorry, this should read: “Is this standard behaviour for the theme?”

hi there,

I understand that.

However, part of the issue I am having has nothing to do with the plugin.

I repeat: When I click on a comment permalink from within the WordPress CMS (eg from the comments section), it will send the window to the bottom of the comment, rather than the top. This means that I have to scroll up.

Is this standard behaviour for the plugin? It’s rather annoying — it’s non-standard behaviour for WordPress. Usually when you click on a comment permalink from within the WordPress CMS, it will take you to the top of the comment, so that you can see it — instead of having to scroll up to see it.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kind regards,

Renai

OK, no worries, appreciated. That CSS does fix the issue — cheers, much appreciated. I’ll let you know if any further assistance needed.

Cheers!

Renai

Thanks for your response!

I edit articles in WordPress in HTML view. I have checked the HTML in those articles in the WordPress CMS and cannot find the extra paragraph of which you speak. In addition, these articles were previously fine — the gap only disappeared when I upgraded the Newspaper theme recently to the latest version.

Would you have any idea of what is causing this? Is it something you’re seeing on other sites which use Newspaper?

Cheers,

Renai

OK, cheers. I’ll set this up on my dev site and let you know if I can’t resolve it.
