   Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me out.
   I recently made a post which I've password-protected, and yet even when I'm logged in and have entered the post's password, it's not showing the comment submission box.

   All that shows is the text: "Enter your password to view comments."

   The comment counter says they are 7 comments, and yet I can't read them from my blog...but yet I can read them from the comment admin panel.

   Is this a problem someone has come across. I've searched the support database but haven't found anything that has dealt with this problem. Could someone help?

   So...it seems as though others (who have the protected post password) can read and comment, but I can neither read or add comments to my post. How odd!

   Anyone?

   Still haven't solved the mystery...
   Has anyone come across a similar problem?

   In your comments.php file of your theme, try changing $cookiehash to COOKIEHASH as below.

   From:
   if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_'.$cookiehash] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie?>

   To:
   if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie?>
