passworded posts: no comments

Suddenly I’ve noticed that my blog won’t display the comment form for passworded posts – this is to people with the password of the post, including me as admin. Instead it says: “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.” both before and after you enter the password.

The only thing I have done is to change the text that displays when a passworded entry is posted. But I have even grabbed a fresh template-functions-post.php and uploaded it and I still have this problem.

I’m thinking it’s a cookie thing because it used to be that when I’d post one of these, if you’d enter in the password, you’d see it for all time. Now if I leave the page and come back, I have to enter the password again.

I have not messed with anything other than to change text on the template-functions-post.php. I haven’t messed with the cookies or anything.

I guess this could be a conflict from a plugin or something but I don’t know for how long it’s been going on, but I’m thinking several weeks now… I thought it was strange no one commented on my last passworded post…

Eh, anyone know what might be going on here or how I can find out what’s going on?

Thanks!!
