    I upgraded to 3.0 and everything appeared to be working correctly. Then I tried to post a comment to a post and received a blank page.

    Went back to 2.9.2 and still having the same problem. Can anyone suggest something that may correct his.

    Can write a new post to the database, but not a comment to a post.

    Did you roll the database back down to 2.9.2 or just swap the files? If it's the latter, upload the 3.0 files again first. Then try:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    THANK YOU for your reply.

    I have tried each of the above fixes with no positive result. I was looking at my database with phpmyadmin and noticed the following warnings in wp_comment

    Warning More than one INDEX key was created for column comment_approved
    Warning More than one INDEX key was created for column comment_post_ID

    Do you think this could be causing the problem? If so, would there be a fix?

    Also, how do I know that the database has been updated for 3.0. It seems that it too way to short to do it. My database is 6M.

    Unlikely.

    how do I know that the database has been updated for 3.0

    Access your database and look for the db_version number in the wp_options table. If it's 15260, it's a 3.0 db. The version number for 2.9 was 12329.
