Solved Node.BB Blog Comments Not Working

[A Former User]

All,
Trying to use Node.BB forum software requires a plugin called: nodebb-plugin-blog-comments2
When installed through the GUI, the configuration menu does not appear.
Is this a reproducible problem?
All of the online guides say use the following command to install:

# npm install nodebb-plugin-blog-comments2

This fails on the command line.

Documentation can be found at:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments2

Any help?

You should try installing the plugin through the admin panel of the forum. That will guide you to active it afterwards and, if necessary, restart/rebuild the forum assets. There will be a notification bubble popping up if required.

Thats what I initially did in this step:
"When installed through the GUI, the configuration menu does not appear."
However, once installed, rebuilt, restarted, the plugin does nothing, and I cant find the menu to configure it. It is as if the Node.BB gui has been updated, and the plugin has not.

I'm wondering if this is my setup, or a Node.BB issue.

I have tried installing this and it appears to be working fine, however it does not seem to have any additional settings exposed through the UI. This is unlikely a packaging issue, please contact the plugin author about this issue, if there should be any configuration ui or not.

@nebulon There is a configuration UI, you can't use the plugin without it. I'll reach out to the Node.BB community for a deeper look.
