[resolved] Recent Comments widget - displays properly, but links don't work (5 posts)

    I apologize if a solution has already been posted, but I can't seem to find it ; - )

    Here's the problem:

    My Recent Comments widget displays as it should, but when I click on any of its links, nothing happens. To actually view a specific comment, I have to go into my Site Admin.

    Not sure if it's relevant/helpful or not, but the comments pertain to my "About" page (which I've forced to display as my home/opening page):

    http://liannesprigg.ca/blog/

    Does this make any sense?

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Thanks,

    -Lianne.

    The links are all anchors and don't include a full URL as expected. Where did you get the code for that widget?

    Hi Matt,

    As far as I know, it came with version 3.0.1 (I could be mistaken, though - I'm pretty new to WordPress).

    Any chance you could recommend a replacement (or a fix)? : - )

    Thanks much,

    -Lianne.

    I just did a bit more hunting, and another member, who seemed to be having the same problem, said:

    I had to change the comments.php file to set the comment_ID as an anchor ID

    Not really sure how to do that, though...?
