page displaying wrong comments

[dcostalis]

Depending on how widgets are set up, and the layout of the page, WordPress may display the wrong comments for a post.

The widget.php file uses a variable $id, which is used frequently throughout code. That variable is not unset, and moving the sidebar code above the comment code while this widget is active will cause the comments_template function to instead display comments from the last post on the "recent posts" list. solution proposed.

updated proposed fix

Tarski  hacks around this issue by adding the following code below the sidebar widgets block, but it would be much better if this weren't necessary.

$wp_the_query->current_post--;
setup_postdata($wp_query->next_post());

Patch from 12/07/07 doesn't work for me. Included post reset does fix it, but obviously ideally the widgets code would be better isolated from the page or post loop.

Added a patch that seems to fix this.

How about having wp_reset_query() reset the global post data? See patch (untested).

Does that patch work for anyone?

Sorry, been a really busy week. Having just tested this, it doesn't seem to fix my Tarski issue. I commented out the hack I mentioned above, applied the hack, and found all my posts getting the same comments, from the last article on the 'Recent Articles' widget list.

Maybe that will work better.

Doesn't work... but this does.

(In [6653]) Restore global post when resetting the query. Props ionfish. fixes #5439

(In [6688]) Don't advance post counter when resetting query. see #5439

Using next_post() causes problems with other themes. Reverting and reopening.

#6687 has resolved this for me.

[6687], rather.
