   Hi all,

   I changed my theme so that for logged in users (editor and above) all articles are shown on the front-end of the site. That means the future and pending posts too.

   When I place a comment below a future post all goes well, but when I try to place a comment below a pending post, all I get is a blank page.

   Anyone any clue?

   Found the solution.

   In wp-comments-post.php there is the following snippet:

   if ( empty($status->comment_status) ) {
   	do_action('comment_id_not_found', $comment_post_ID);
   	exit;
   } elseif ( !comments_open($comment_post_ID) ) {
   	do_action('comment_closed', $comment_post_ID);
   	wp_die( __('Sorry, comments are closed for this item.') );
   } elseif ( in_array($status->post_status, array('draft', 'pending') ) ) {
   	do_action('comment_on_draft', $comment_post_ID);
   	exit;
   } else {
   	do_action('pre_comment_on_post', $comment_post_ID);
   }

   Just replace
   do_action('comment_on_draft', $comment_post_ID);
   with
   do_action('pre_comment_on_post', $comment_post_ID);

   and remove the exit, and comments will be admitted.
