    whenever someone (including me) writes a comment on my website, and they put in the url for the website, the url doesnt work.

    your type in the url and when it posts your comment it has no link whatsoever. This is how it was in WP 1.5, but I ignored it and figured that the next upgrade would fix it, and it doesn’t

    I am running wp 2.0 (just upgraded this afternoon). This is the only prob im having, and that ive had with the previous version.

    If anyone could help me out, I would be much appriciative.

    Thanks again.

    Best regards,
    Drew Decker

    Your name links to a dead site – so we cannot test.
    Please amend the link.

    Does it work if you switch to the classic or default theme? If yes, you’ll have to fix your theme.

    “wp-comments.php”?
    Hmm. that doesn’t seem to be a theme file – sounds more like a pre-1.5 install… (though I saw you have 2.0 installed).
    Does it mean your layout/style has never been upgraded to a theme?

    i believe its a theme. i have all my themes in a subdir of “themes”. i have to have a index.php and a style.css file. The style.css file has the stlye name and all the css rules.

    the comments.php – this is what i meant – is this where i should look.

    i apoligize for saying it was wp-comments.php, i meant in my theme directory named comments.php

    thanks..sorry

    Then OK. Yes, you should check the comments.php – compare what is different in the comments display area in the themes where it works.

    well…this is going to sound crazy, but…

    the submit button on the default is

    <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /></p>

    but in my version it looked like

    <p><input name="submit" type="submit" class="submit" id="sub_btn" tabindex="5" value="Get 'er Done" /></p>

    now it looks the same except for the id part.

    the only thing i dont understand is that why? does wordpress use the id value to complete the comment post? heh well it worked, for now; lets see what happens over the course of a few weeks.

    thanks again.
