We are building a website that will be running wpDiscuz, wpForo, and LearnDash LMS -- so, we want users to have a single User Dashboard page where we can show them their own most recent activity from all three plugins. Is there a way to do this for wpDiscuz activity show via a shortcode or widget?

Screen readers dont read our comments section

AdamTheForumUser — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 12:13:12 +0000

We've been told by a user that on their iPhone the screen reader doesn't read the comments section, and testing this it seems to be true.

Would this be because we have comments set to load via Ajax? Are there any recommendations you have and actions we can take to troubleshoot?

Thanks for your time

reCAPTCHA verification fails for guest comments — “Please verify that you are a human.” Post:

Hello wpDiscuz Community,

I’m having an issue with guest comments on my website.

Whenever a guest user tries to submit a comment on this page:

https://www.bachhausen.de/katherina-reiche-muss-zuruecktreten/

the Google reCAPTCHA appears and can be completed successfully. However, after clicking the submit button for the guest comment, the following error message is displayed:

“Please verify that you are a human.”

So it looks like the CAPTCHA is being solved, but wpDiscuz still does not recognize the verification when the comment is submitted.

Could you please help me understand what might cause this?
Is this likely a configuration issue with wpDiscuz, Google reCAPTCHA, caching, JavaScript optimization, or a conflict with another plugin?

I would appreciate any guidance on how to troubleshoot this.

Thank you!

How to add a donate button for users to donate to wpdiscuz

EskeRahn — Mon, 11 May 2026 17:11:41 +0000

Hi I just added wpDiscuz to my small blog, and would like to leave the commenting users with an easy way to donate to you. How do I do that? I would love to have a small "Give wpDiscuz a beer" button under the comments.
The tiny icon under the comments are super discrete, and even if people find it, it does not lead them to a place where they can 'give a beer'.... I have not found a place to donate myself...

Discuz cookie is slowing page load and disabling cache

Caitlin Havener — Fri, 01 May 2026 20:14:09 +0000

Hi,

I’m troubleshooting a caching/performance issue with wpDiscuz + LiteSpeed Cache on my WordPress site.

When wpDiscuz is active, my homepage response sets this cookie even though comments are closed on the homepage and wpDiscuz is not enabled for Pages:

set-cookie: wpdiscuz_nonce_...

The homepage then consistently shows:
x-cache: MISS
server-timing wp-total around 4–5 seconds

When I deactivate wpDiscuz entirely, the homepage becomes very fast and the cache starts behaving normally.

Current wpDiscuz settings:
- Pages removed from wpDiscuz enabled post types/forms
- Homepage comments closed
- Comment List Loading Type: Initiate AJAX loading after page
- Pagination: Load more button
- Guest commenter credentials cookie setting changed from -1 to 0
- LiteSpeed ESI enabled with ESI Nonces: wpdiscuz_*

Question:
How can I prevent wpDiscuz from initializing or setting wpdiscuz_nonce cookies on pages where comments/wpDiscuz are disabled, especially the homepage, archives, and pages?

I only want wpDiscuz active on single blog posts.

Thanks!

Upvote counter broken when > 2.1k comments

doctorofcredit — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 03:32:27 +0000

For some reason when users have more than a certain amount of comments (around 2.1k) the number of upvotes will no longer display correctly and instead show 0.

wpDiscuz completely broken

gooloode — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:11:55 +0000

Hello,

i can't seem to find any solution, as to why this is happening, but wpDiscuz is completely broken on my site. It's non-functional and every icon and f.ex. the ratings, are exorbitantly huge. I was not able to resolve this issue by myself.
