Thread: Incompatibility with Wordpress 4.4

Incompatibility with Wordpress 4.4

Hello,

I have recently updated my site to Wordpress 4.4 and noticed a bug that previously existed and was able to fix. Since the new core update, the entire scope of the issue has changed and has made the clarificaiton board unusable.

comment-template.php

- Unable to post a comment on the clarification board, proposals still work.
- There was a bug before this update that was using get_avatar to display the avatar for comments on the clarification board instead of the_hrb_user_gravatar. I was able to modify the core file to pull in the hirebee avatar in the div 'comment-author vcard' and this solved the problem, until the update.
- With the new update, the function comment() in the comment-template.php file has been completely reworked and is incompatible with Hirebee. The error displayed when trying to comment on the clarification board is: "Sorry, comments are closed for this item."
