• Hi, when I try to post comments on my blog, i get a 500 Internal Server Error. It does not do this on my local instance, and it only does this when posting without being logged in.

    I didn’t want users to have to create an account just to post a comment, so I turned off “Anyone can register” and “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” in Settings->General. I then turned on the moderation options under Settings->Discussion (approving a comment before it is actually displayed).

    Like I said, it works on my local instance, just not on the actual server. Tried switching themes to the default, but that didn’t seem to work either. I don’t have an .htaccess file, so I don’t think that would be causing any problems. Have the permissions on all of my wp-* files set to 644.

    Any ideas? Thanks

  • I’m having the same issues… What is the fix?

    i ended up having to do a clean install. here’s what i did:

    1. exported a backup from wordpress
    2. deleted my database
    3. deleted my wordpress installation
    4. created a database with the same name as the old one
    5. reinstalled wordpress
    6. imported my backup

    after that, it all magically worked. i’m guessing something got corrupted in the db, or the upgrade went wrong.
