Hi there,
I am looking at using wpDiscuz with add ons as a solution for my website's commenting system.
I am currently using Thrive Comments and enjoy it, as it is very lightweight.
When testing wpDiscuz, it looks quite heavy and not pagespeed optimized, especially from using font awesome icons.
I prefer to use SVG for this situation. With this in mind, I see you can disable font awesome library from loading, but then the icons all disappear and turn to nothing but rectangles. Is there not a way to add SVG instead or make it look okay without font awesome loading?
Hi willGreeny,
Is there not a way to add SVG instead
We're really sorry, but wpDiscuz doesn't have such a feature
or make it look okay without font awesome loading?
You can hide all those font awesome icons using custom CSS/js code like this one:
#wpdcom .fas, #wpdcom .far, #wpdcom .fa{
display: none !important;
}
Thank you for that, but that removes the hottest comments, most commented, notify of follow ups, close the thread and more buttons from appearing at all?
They appear but they are still clickable - what I am asking is for the functionality to not disappear and the buttons to have something such as text instead of font-awesome icons
You should add the custom js code and add the text you want.
You can also customize the elements the way provided here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/customization/custom-template-and-style/
Thank you for this - I tried changing the link.html from:
<div class="{LINK_WRAPPER_CLASSES}">
{LINK_ICON}
</div>
to
<div class="{LINK_WRAPPER_CLASSES}">
{LINK_ICON} LINK
</div>
But I do not see any difference or addition of 'LINK' to the area?
Have you changed it for the current layout chosen in your case? Have the caches been deleted before checking?
Yes and it does not seem to be working.
Also, for when comments are restricted for login, I would like to add a class to the login button 'lrm-login' which enables a modal pop up to appear for logging in - is this possible?
Yes and it does not seem to be working.
Please record a video where we can see:
- the customizations you made
- the current layout
- the frontend appearance (don't forget to delete the caches)

Apologies for the late reply. I've managed to get it working which is great thank you.
One issue I have, though, is that the 'Login' button does not have a .HTML file in the layout, so I cannot currently change it. I want to add a class to it to the Login link which enables a modal popup appearing using this plugin.
How do I change the Login button with this in mind?
You can try the solution provided here: https://wpdiscuz.com/community/troubleshooting/login-popup/#post-4062
Just change the value of the red marked class.
