I figured. It makes sense. However, let me explain my use case.

i will be using the forum as Q&A - and the comments section as response to the post.

Hi @theo,

I'm sorry, but this is designed to work this way. As this is a forum page by default the commenting is disabled. We'll add a new option that will allow you to display both forum and comments in near future releases.

@sofy

1. Yes, the comments section is visible when I remove the shortcode. When I put the shortcode the section disappears.

2. Yes, I am able to see the comments left on the post in the dashboard when the shortcode is there or is not there.

It seems as though the forum being present is what is removing the comments section.

Please let us know:

When you delete a shortcode, are the comments displayed?
Are comments displayed on the dashboard when shortcode exists?

@sofy I have comments enabled on posts. This is an issue when I introuduce the wpforo shortcode on my post.

Hi theo,

1) Make sure the "Discussions" admin-box is allowed using "Screen Options" in "Edit Post" admin page:

2) Find the "Discussions" admin-box below and make sure "Allow Comments" option is turned on.

Hi @sofy, I re did my custom posts, it looks to be working fine now, except for one thing. My Wordpress comments are now disabled. Is this by default? Can we change this?

Hi @theo,

We've tested this and on our test websites, it works properly. Is there any additional plugin like WP Editor you've used?

Ok, I think i'm getting closer to the bottom of this. So my users will be able to post content on body field, this is field is reserved for their content, along with other custom fields that i've made. I created one field for Forum. The problem is that the shortcode does not work properly in the forum field. If I place the same shortcode on the content field of the post, it works just fine. I made the forum field into a WYSIWIG (rich text) field but it still does not display properly. @sofy, have you seen this behaviour in the past before?

@sofy I have done all that, and still this is what is displayed.
