I've recently been working on transferring a Joomla! site over to WordPress, creating a template for the site by modifying the default WP theme.
All's gone well, except for when a user attempts to post a comment on a post the submit button appears to create a 404 error? Nothing appears for moderation, and there's no sign the comment's been submitted anywhere.
I've checked that the wp-comments-post.php is linked correctly, and that the "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" isn't checked, but still I can't get around the 404.
Feel free to give it a try, http://www.sixonline.org.uk/beta - anyone got any ideas?
Thankyoo

Did you create the theme yourself?
If you did, you need to modify the comment form.
You need to change the method to 'POST' and the action to '/beta/wp/wp-comments-post.php'.
Hi,
I'm having a problem with this issue and I can't find anything here about it. I altered the Kubrick theme, so haven't changed the form action.
I'm using Permalinks and my .htaccess is chmod 644. Permalink structure is working fine for the site, so I don't think it's the problem. I have : /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Comments are posting, it's just that a 404 Error appears first, then if you go back to the Post, you can see that the new comment is there. Does anyone know what else could cause a 404 when submitting commments?
Thanks~

So is complete re-install of all 2.7.1 files the fix?
Did everyone elese here use the automatic upgrade wp plugin? I did. Just curious if that caused the issue.
