for anything other than comment form customizations.

### 󠀁[Doesn't Work With Customized Comments Template](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-customized-comments-template/)󠁿

 [Julie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/habannah/) September 3, 2016

Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t work if certain simple customizations have been
made to the comments template. I opened a support thread two weeks ago but got no
response from the author: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-html-on-posts.
In my case, the customizations were made before the plugin was installed, so I can’t
comment on how the plugin works without these customizations. Since one of the main
purposes of Cache Buddy is to affect the behaviour of cookies for commenters, I 
would expect the plugin to work despite a bit of custom code in the comments template.
