Disqus Comment Count Not Displaying (Random Posts)

Permalink
Hi There,

I am working on a site at the moment (Concrete version 5.6.3.2) and have the Disqus block installed. The block itself works completely fine, however I am having issues with getting the actual comment count to work on the blog index page.

I have basically adapted the default blog index template and added the following code so it echo's with each blog post:

<a href="<?php  echo $nh->getLinkToCollection($cobj)?>#disqus_thread"></a>


For the most part, this works fine however it randomly fails to echo the link text (though the correct <a> tag is present in the source - I have attached a screenshot from Firebug to help explain).

I have tried to find out why this happens randomly - even making a word for word duplicate of a "working" post can sometimes fail. I am at a complete loss of what to do next and was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions/solutions on where to go from here. Has anyone also experienced the same issue on their site and found a way to fix this?

The site isn't online so I cant give you any URL's unfortunately. I am also using Composer for my blog posts by the way.

Many thanks in advance!

Just wanted to update this post for anyone who comes across this problem.

After establishing that changing the coding on my site/templates wasn't working, I decided to check the Disqus admin control panel. Everything "appeared" to be okay in there, however I decided to delete the site record in there and then re-add it from scratch just to be on the safe side.

I have since performed checks on the posts/comment counts on my site and have experienced no problems. The posts that previously didn't work still don't have a comment count with them, however all new posts have a comment counter which updates correctly (fingers crossed).

The only potential thing I can think of that may have contributed to this problem in the end is that I entered the live site address in the Disqus admin control panel. The only different thing I did this time was enter the localhost directory where my offline site was located.

Hopefully this is the solution, however I will update this if I figure anything else out in the meantime.
