Thanks to an update somewhere to recaptcha V2 API, the recaptcha on my site stopped working. That was easy enough to fix with a new key.

However, now when comments are submitted, they redirect to a page that literally only shows the following line of text:

{"message":"Comment added and waiting for approval.","cssClass":"k2FormLogSuccess"}

Something in the code needs fixed, because the "Comment added and waiting for approval." bit is supposed to show up as a simply message that appears above the comment form, without taking users to a whole new page... But I'm not sure where in the code that is, or how to fix it.

I'm not too picky about how that message is shown. If it's a little popup box, or just a message within the page, whatever. I just don't want users taken to a whole new, completely useless page, or for the comment form to remain filled out after the comment has been submitted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Toby,

Can you share a link to your site?

Yeah it's: powelltribune.com

You can click on any story and leave a comment to see exactly what it's doing.

For some reason jQuery is being loaded after K2's scripts.
This could be caused by the plugins order (try moving the K2 system plugin further down the list).

Alternatively you can use an extension like jQuery Easy to sort the scripts' order.

Installing jQuery Easy fixed it. I tried moving the System - K2 plugin first, but that didn't seem to do anything.

Submitting comments works, it doesn't redirect to that weird page anymore, and the little success comment shows up like it should.

Thanks for the help!

You 're welcome Toby :)

Hi,

I got the same problem here but both solutions didn't help :(

Instead of a Information I got a white page with this content:

{"message":"Comment added and waiting for approval.","cssClass":"k2FormLogSuccess"}

Maybe someone could help me. The page is beckerchristian.com

Thanks allot
Chris

Hi,

@Krikor I have the same problem, both solutions didn't work. My site is rkglass.pl, can you direct me to the solution?

Hey there,

Since my Polish is really bad, can you point me to an item with enabled comments?

Thanks for the answer :) example URL with comments is www.rkglass.pl/blog/454-jak-dbac-o-szklane-powierzchnie

Can you disable the JS minification?

I switched off JavaScript compression, is it OK now?

It appears to be functioning properly now.

Works great, thank you very much! Can I somehow fix the minimized JS?

I had the same problem and sth like this would show up:
{"message":"\u0646\u0638\u0631 \u0627\u0641\u0632\u0648\u062f\u0647 \u0634\u062f! \u062f\u0631 \u062d\u0627\u0644 \u062a\u0627\u0632\u0647 \u0633\u0627\u0632\u06cc \u0635\u0641\u062d\u0647...","cssClass":"k2FormLogSuccess","refresh":1}
I installed Jquery easy and in the Jquery tab I selected fix Jquery+UI and it solved my problem.
Thanks for your guidance. you are the best

Hello,

You need to enable the loading of the jQuery library in K2;s settings.

That did it! Thanks so much!
