I am trying to: Use wpDiscuz Comment Plugin

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: All Custom Posts

I expected to see: wpDiscuz comment form

Instead, I got: Default WordPress comment form

Hi, I am able to replicate this problem with the WP Discuz plugin, so I have escalated this as a compatibility issue. Please stand by and I will update you here as I receive additional information about any possible workarounds or patches.

After discussion with the team, it turns out that the comment cell is designed to display comments using the Toolset default format. We have some customization options, but nothing like the customizations that would be needed to display the Discuz comment form. We can think of two options:
1. You can try to implement a shortcode for the WP Discuz comment form as described in their support forum:
hidden link
Then, you can use a Visual Editor cell to insert the shortcode instead of using the Toolset Layouts Comments Cell.

2. You could create a custom Layouts cell that implements their comment form using custom PHP. We have some information about creating custom cells here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-custom-cells-unique-functionality/
You would need to communicate with their support team to find out how to implement the form using PHP, and insert that code into your custom cell.
