[resolved] Comment submission generates 404 error, or nothing (2 posts)

    When permalinks are set to anything but default, my site generates a 404 error upon submission of a comment. The URL looks this this:
    http://www.markwhittaker.com/comments-broken/comment-page-/#comment-

    When permalinks are set to default, the site returns this page upon submission: http://www.markwhittaker.com/?p=593#comment-

    and no comment appears. Sometimes I get an e-mail notifying me about the comment, and when I do, all of the info fields are blank except for the title of the post.

    Thanks for any advice you can provide!

    I "resolved" this by install the Disqus plug-in for commenting. It requires a few extra minutes to set up the Disqus account. Make sure to check the "Output JavaScript in footer" box next to Comment Counts in Advanced Settings.

    Anyway, the commenting issue still exists, but this is how I worked around it.
