Hi,

First off, let me say this seems like a great plugin. I'm new to Wordpress, so I haven't had much of a chance to test it or even really any other plugins available.

Anyway, on my local test server (Latest Xampp, running on my XP machine), I just set up this plugin with WP-Ajax-Edit-Comments. This was on a clean install of Wordpress. I have been running plugins on clean installs to get a feel for them, I also test the previous version of your plugin a few days ago.

I noticed the following things (Keep in mind I am not a programmer and am new to Wordpress, so I may get things wrong):

#1 - The main spinner never changes. No matter which I pick, I always get the big one on most pages. It changes for small things, like comment submissions.

#2 - If I have comment boxes open by default, then add a comment by replying to another, then click like I am going to reply again, it reverses the commands. Reply closes the box, cancel reopens it. I ended up turning off comment boxes open by default just to avoid this.

#3 - Last two versions, if I try to use the cache module, I get this:

  1. Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ajaxd-wordpress/js/core.js.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\ajaxd-wordpress\modules\core_cache\core_cache.php on line 62
  2. Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ajaxd-wordpress/js/core.css.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\ajaxd-wordpress\modules\core_cache\core_cache.php on line 83
  3. Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\ajaxd-wordpress\modules\core_cache\core_cache.php:62) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 850

It might be me, I don't know.

#4 - May I do a feature request for edit and quote to be added to your plugin. I don't like the way that Ajax Edit Comment edits it with your plugin and your plugin also doesn't have quote. Basically, the quick opening of the box right underneath is very cool and would be nice to have for those two features.

#5 - The busy hourglass stays up often when things aren't even busy, is it possible to turn this off or to better understand why it is up? This happens a lot after I submit a comment.

#6 - Sometimes when I click on a page it says something like Ajax Page Not Loaded or something (doesn't happen every time). What does this mean? The page still loads fine for me, almost like it is redirecting.

#7 - The comments get smaller each level that I go down. Is this standard Wordpress behavior? It is very hard to see a 4th level of replies.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sorry for being new to all of this. I am just trying to understand things. I can't tell if something is working right or not.

#1 - The main spinner never changes. No matter which I pick, I always get the big one on most pages. It changes for small things, like comment submissions.

Only the small spinner changes right now. The smaller spinners look quite ugly if they are scaled up to work as the big spinner.

#2 - If I have comment boxes open by default, then add a comment by replying to another, then click like I am going to reply again, it reverses the commands. Reply closes the box, cancel reopens it. I ended up turning off comment boxes open by default just to avoid this.

Sometimes the script gets a bit confused. I'll try to track it down.

#3 - Last two versions, if I try to use the cache module, I get this:

That is caused by your server settings. Do you have safe mode enabled?

#4 - May I do a feature request for edit and quote to be added to your plugin. I don't like the way that Ajax Edit Comment edits it with your plugin and your plugin also doesn't have quote. Basically, the quick opening of the box right underneath is very cool and would be nice to have for those two features.

The ability to quote has been planned for a while and may be added in the near future, but I decided not to add edit comments directly to AWP because it would basically duplicate the other plugin and take a lot of time to get it to work. Eventually, if someone wants to sponsor the feature, it may be added.

#5 - The busy hourglass stays up often when things aren't even busy, is it possible to turn this off or to better understand why it is up? This happens a lot after I submit a comment.

I'll take a look.

#6 - Sometimes when I click on a page it says something like Ajax Page Not Loaded or something (doesn't happen every time). What does this mean? The page still loads fine for me, almost like it is redirecting.

That means that the required divs and html comments weren't found when AWP loaded the page, so AWP sends you to the page itself. Make sure the templates being used by those pages have the divs as mentioned in the AWP Nav readme.

#7 - The comments get smaller each level that I go down. Is this standard Wordpress behavior? It is very hard to see a 4th level of replies.

This is because of the indent set in your theme. If you play with the CSS a bit, you should be able to straighten it out, so you can fit more levels of comments.

Thank you for getting back to me. Most of my problems were solved by simply switching to another theme. I was using the Wordpress Default theme. On most blogging and content management systems, the default theme is recommended for testing. The more I have tested on the Wordpress one, the more I have hated it :) I switched to Atahualpa, which seems better built for testing.

I still can't shake #3 though. Safe Mode is disabled and was before. The message continues to stalk me :(

I'm not sure about number 3: it is an issue with your local setup. You may want to check firewall settings on the computer it is running on etc.
