Hi geoff, it won’t have anything to do with go-daddy. If you’re still stuck, feel free to send me a message via MSN Messenger or email, rachel@cre8d-design.com
Sounds like you may have some permissions problems on your template so you couldn’t edit the files. Also, check your comment options.
Three things I can think of is your user level (but I am sure it is editor or admin right?)
Your internet connections seems to be giving a problem.
I doubt template but just to be sure try using the default template.
Well, I did a drastic thing. I changed to Bluehost, launched 2.0 and seemed to have a fairly decent working WordPress.
Now I have one of the earlier glitches still which I see others have been having off and on but none of the posts seem to provide a real solution to the problem…
COMMENTS function doesn’t show up or appear on PAGE posts.
Now I’ve gone in and checked the options and they say allow comments and e-mail (which also doesn’t appear)
I’ve made sure under general options that comments are allowed.
A very frustrating mystery. This glitch was, in fact, what got my other problems started with my other installation with my other host.
(By the way I switched for other reasons as well and have been very happy with BlueHost.)
Anyway, anyone know why this problem is occurring. It seemed to be happening with 1.5 but I can’t find a post from anyone who really knows why it is occurring and what the solution is…
Anyone HAVE a solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Well, let me tell myself the solution. Praise BE!
I reverted to the CLASSIC WordPress Theme and bingo, comments function appears like magic.
NOW that’s a glitch!
And that’s a solution.
I am sure there is something imbedded in the classic, perhaps some sort of config function or maybe in comments.php that is different in the default theme, but jeez. I’ve looked everywhere for the solution and no one seems to have it.
Anyway, I’ve solved the immediate problem for what it’s worth.
cheers

Before claiming “glitch” – provide a link to your blog if you want help.
If by “PAGES” you mean Pages as opposed to posts, i.e. Pages created via the Write > Write Page panel, and your problem is those Pages not having the comment “function” – that’s a theme dependent thing.
Normally comments are not welcomed on a so-called static Page, e.g. I’d hate if people comment on my “About me” page or below my contact form on the Contact Page…
Therefore most of the themes that have a page.php template will not have the call for the comments feature by design!
You can, of course, edit your Page template to call for the comments.
It seems we posted in the same time 🙂
Edit. Classic is different because it doesn’t have a page.php template, so it uses the index for everything.
see Template_Hierarchy.
Er, I’m not sure I’m following. I, too, have difficulty posting a comment–in my case, I click to the permalink on any particular entry, enter a test comment, and then wp-comments-post.php just shows… you know, nothing. Argh! So I tried the “apache” fix, just poking around, but I still got nothing. I don’t understand the problem; I set up wordpress for a friend, and good golly, it was just fine. So, yeah. I’d happily move to the classic template for a quick-and-dirty tech-stupid fix, except that I like the changes I made to my template, and don’t relish the thought of tossing them. I did change the permissions on comments-post, but that didn’t seem to rectify it. What am I missing? Any ideas?
