   I'm getting a "no page found" message when entering comments on a blog I'm working on. I am using a theme called "Piano Forte" that I changed and I didn't realize I broke the comments. So I reinstalled the theme as a separate theme and the comments work on there. So then I compared the index.php, comments-popup.php, and comments.php files and nothing seems out of the ordinary or wrong.

   Here is the code from 'index.php' (there is no 'page.php'):

   
<div id="cats"><p class="postmetadata"><?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit','',' | '); ?><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p><div id="divider"></div></div>

   <?php comments_template(); ?>


   Any idea what I could have done to create a 404 when editing the 'index.php'? I'm pretty sure that I didn't touch the comments files and it seems that there are no files missing.

   This is NOT a bump. I've just been trying to fix my problem and saw that when I enter a comment, I am redirected to this URL, which gives me a 404 error:

   http://www.heartsablaze.net/wes/index.php?s=&author=ian&comment_post_ID=4&redirect_to=%2Fwes
%2F%3Fp%3D4&email=iantbarker%40gmail.com&url=iantbarker%40gmail.com&comment=hello&submit=Say+It%21r


   Thought that was weird. The blog address is www.heartsablaze.net/wes/

   Again, this is not a bump but this info should help.

   I'm setting this to resolved because I am just using a different theme and changing it to match the previous design. Couldn't figure out how to fix the comments.

   I'm getting exactly the same problem at http://www.simply-social.com/blog I've re-installed latest WP and changed themes to no avail.

   Geofones - I think your problem may be because you are trying to use pretty links on an IIS platform. This won't be possible in the standard wordpress method because IIS doesn't use .htaccess which is used for your pretty permalinks.

   Turn back to ugly permalinks.

   Edit - also you may need to start your own thread because this is marked resolved.

   Many thanks you are correct - going back to "default permalink structure" the comments work fine. I guess I will have to change the theme!

   It's nothing to do with the theme.

   nrmist - What is it to do with then? please

   It's because IIS doesn't support .htaccess redirects.

   No matter what theme you go for you won't be able to use the pretty permalinks on your platform, unless there's a plugin to do it on IIS.
