   Hi,

   I moved a blog from one domain to another. I also upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.3.3 and so far everything works great except for one issue:

   When someone tries to submit a comment, it goes to "page not found". Since I installed the new blog in a side folder I first thought I had not entered the correct path somewhere in the admin but everything looks great and all the other functions work fine out of that folder.

   On the old domain, the url before I submit a post is:
   http://somesite.com/?p=772#respond

   and after I submit the post it is:
   http://somesite.com/?p=772#comment-190066

   On the new domain, before I submit a post is:
   http://somesite.com/blog/?p=772#respond

   and after I submit the post it is:
   http://somesite.com/sizzle/http://somesite.com/blog/wp-comments-post.php

   If it helps, the "sizzle" in the path above is the name of my theme and only shows up in the themes folder where it should be.

   I even deactivated all my plug-ins, just in case, and that didn't help anything.

   I'm stuck ahd hope someone can point me in the right direction.

   "somesite" is not helpful.
   Give a link so the helpers can see it for themselves.

   The blog is at http://www.sizzleonthegrill.com/blog/. The comments don't work on posts I moved over or new posts I publish. It has Brian's Threaded Comments plug-in, so I deactivated it to test and when I tried to comment it said I needed to turn it back on. I even turned it off, published a new post, tried to comment and same thing.

   It has been running on the old site fine and doesn't have a later version of the plug-in for 2.3.3 so don't know if that is a problem or not.

   Thanks

   If I remember well for that plugin you needed to edit the comments.php template.

   If you swicth to the default or classic theme does the commenting work ?(with plugin deactivated, of course)

   I switched to the default and classic themes and the comments post fine with the plug-ins activated. So the problem apparently is in my custom theme. I had modified it when I moved it to the new site, so I grabed a copy of the unmodified one and tried it as well. The comments now post fine with this un-modified theme so now I can modify it again step by step and keep testing the comments every step until I know what change I made causes the issue.

   Thanks for your help. I would have gotten to this point on my own but not as quicly as I did with your help.

   Thanks again.
