WordPress Comments Not Working
-
WordPress Comments does not work on my website anymore:
When posting a comment I have observed that the website tries to contact to 162.158.38.91 – then I get the following error message:
The operation timed out when attempting to contact 162.158.38.91
I checked this ip address and found that it belongs to Cloudflare.
Does this mean that Cloudflare is blocking the posting of WordPress comments on my website?
I have also noticed that in the few weeks before comments stopped working, the comments in the data base have very large comment_id’s. e.g. 9821051757928252862. Before the malfunction the last comment_id’s was much smaller. e.g. 23003.
Another significant observation on the database is that before the malfunction, all comments had a comment_date_gmt as well as a comment_date. After the comments started malfunctioning the comment_date_gmt column is completely blank.
Could there be a problem in the SQL Comments database?
Please help.
