Aditya - you're right, I checked and it was an issue with the format of htaccess script allowed by my hosts. Got it fixed now 🙂
essaysnark - thanks for looking out - i think that was most likely me breaking the server 🙂 i've been messing around with creating custom php functions and my php isn't too hot, so i've been breaking and fixing it all week as i try and learn!
I did indeed, thanks again. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have even thought to check in at the comments again because I was convinced I already had 🙂
All I had to do then was use the (confusingly named) Export Comments button under Disqus' advanced features in Settings - rather than exporting disqus' comments it exports wordpress' comments to disqus, d'oh!
Thanks for your replies matey 🙂 The option to automatically close comments is disabled. You have made me realise that I am a huge dummy though! I could swear at one point I checked an older post and it had disqus showing but I just checked the backend and the old posts all had their comments disabled somehow - not sure how that happened.
So the 0 COMMENTS AND 0 REACTIONS shows on every post preview now, so thanks!
However I now have a new problem!
When you go to a post that I know have comments (Ace of spades slow acoustic version at the bottom) it says 0 COMMENTS AND 0 REACTIONS on the preview - but if you click the post and go to the bottom you can see comments flash up in an unstyled list as the page loads, but they disappear when Disqus kicks in and no comments show.
However under the post itself it says "6 comments"!
So it looks like WordPress is somehow seeing the comments now within the post, but Disqus isn't picking them up - and it's also somehow hiding them as soon as it loads.
I did not originally have Disqus installed when the old posts were up, but as far as I can tell my Disqus settings are setup as they should be - using Disqus comments "on all existing and future blog posts", "disable automated comment importing" is not checked and "Disable server-side rendering of comments" is not checked - can you advise anything else I need to do to get Disqus to recognise these old comments / import them properly?
Thanks, but that didn't exactly work for me.
What I've done instead is used two snippets here:Â http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/breadcrumbs/
I changed the home breadcrumbs link to my blog page, then I used another to rename the home breadcrumb link. I've then removed the breadcrumbs for pages and had them appear on posts/archives.
