• I am using WordPress 2.0.1 with the amazing-development theme which was downloaded from http://www.amazing-development.com

    The Problem:

    My comment boxes do not show on IE but do display on FireFox and Netscape. Seems there is a code error. I know how to read HTML code but I do not understand PHP.

    Here is the problem…

    Directly above the place the comment box should appear (with IE) the text looks like this…

    Leave a Reply

    You must be logged in to post a comment
    <

    .. As you can see above there is a open tag “<” showing on the computer screen which probably means there is closing tag missing in the code.

    I suspect the error is on the comments.php page somewhere in the code shown below.

    <?php if (‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) : ?>

    <h3 id=”respond”>Leave a Reply</h3>

    <?php if ( get_option(‘comment_registration’) && !$user_ID ) : ?>
    You must be /wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>logged in to post a comment.
    <?php else : ?>

    <form action=”<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>/wp-comments-post.php” method=”post” id=”commentform”>

    <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>

    Logged in as /wp-admin/profile.php”><?php echo $user_identity; ?>. /wp-login.php?action=logout” title=”<?php _e(‘Log out of this account’) ?>”>Logout »

    <?php else : ?>

    <input type=”text” name=”author” id=”author” value=”<?php echo $comment_author; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”1″ />
    <label for=”author”><small>Name <?php if ($req) _e(‘(required)’); ?></small></label>

    <input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”2″ />
    <label for=”email”><small>Mail (will not be published) <?php if ($req) _e(‘(required)’); ?></small></label>

    <input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”22″ tabindex=”3″ />
    <label for=”url”><small>Website</small></label>

    <?php endif; ?>

    <!–<small>XHTML: You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></small>–>

    <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″></textarea>

    <input name=”submit” type=”submit” id=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”Submit Comment” />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”comment_post_ID” value=”<?php echo $id; ?>” />

    <?php do_action(‘comment_form’, $post->ID); ?>

    </form>

    Would appreciate any help in solving the mystery.

    Thanks,

    Willy

  • I see the comments area in IE6 but the rest of the layout is broken. Does not look like a good theme.

    Hi podz.. the version of amazing-development that I downloaded is a good theme and the layout is not broken. The only problem with it is the one I mentioned above.

    I included a link to http://www.amazing-development.com site only as a reference in case someone wanted to download the theme and look at the code.

    I really like the theme and want to use it if I can fix the comments problem. I don’t think the author of the theme is maintaing it anymore, he did not respond to an email message I sent him.

    I helped willys fix his problem. And just for the record: it was not my theme which was broken – he left a stray ‘<‘ in the sidebar.php which screwed up the html for IE…
