Question [Solved] Display Comments for Alternate Post ID

Hi,

Please note that wpDiscuz works with the global post. Before displaying the page, it requires modifying the global post.

Hello, i spent quite a bit of time before posting here trying to modify the global post with the alternate post id, calling comments_template(), and then reverting the global post, but that did not work. I even tried modifying the global wpquery.

Modifying the global post did however work when i disabled commenting on the page, but it displayed the generic wp comment system and not wpdiscuz, so that led me here to see if someone with the inside scoop could help pinpoint a filter or something to override the post with. 

I was also wondering if it was maybe something to do with the caching features? I dont know where to start with that though.

I'm ok with pro support reaching out too if required.

Thanks!

I figured it out! I narrowed the issue down to the comments being submitted with the wrong post id. So the solution involved injecting the correct post ID in to the wpd ajax object with js when the page loads. This was required in addition to modifying the global post to render the appropriate comment thread.

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    if (typeof wpdiscuzAjaxObj !== "undefined") {
        wpdiscuzAjaxObj.wc_post_id = ALTERNATE_POST_ID; 
    }
});
