petrescuHello all,
I'll keep this as short as possible. I've been using live comment preview on my site for a few months now but when I created a new theme, using HTML5 elements, the comment preview stopped working. I don't think it's anything I've done as I haven't changed the code I was using when it was working previously.
One thing I cannont get my head around is the fact that the comment preview works perfectly when I'm logged in and posting a comment through the form as usual. But as soon as I log out the preview stops working. I've tried fiddling about with a few parts of the plugin and my own comments.php file but I'm not that great at php and don't really know if what I'm doing is correct, it's all a bit hit and miss.
Hopefully someone out there will have had the same problem as me or will know how to fix it.
<form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log out »</a></p>
<?php else : ?>
