* When I/someone tries to comment on a post, the window goes blank and the comment
doesn’t show up… anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks. -Dee

* Hi Dee,
* This sounds very odd.
* What version of WordPress?
What plugins are you using?
* What is the url of your site so I can see if I can work out whats going wrong

* The URL is [http://www.rainy-days.org](http://www.rainy-days.org) and I’m using
version 1.5.1.3.
I’m not using any plugins…

* Ok,
* I’ve looked at you site and tried a couple of test posts.
* Looking at the source of the comment form you are missing an important part of
the form:
* ``
* This is needed so that the comment post processing code knows what post the comment
is related to if you add this into your template comments should then work.
* I suggest you search for the following in your comments.php template file and
then add the code shown about on the next line.
* ``
* hope this helps

* I had the same problem described above but I couldn’t fix it that way. Suddenly
I recocknized that wordpress showed a blank page after submitting a comment but
I did not make any major changes. I switched themes and updated from wp 1.53
to 2.03 but it still didn’t work. I solved the problem by naming my WordPress’
URI after the real URI and not the domain’s redirecter. To outline that, here’s
a quote of the [Bug Report](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1181) that exactly
solved my problem:
* > I found IT. When you have a redirect on your server like me ([http://weblog.unitedstatesofpeter.com](http://weblog.unitedstatesofpeter.com)
> redirects the browser to [http://unitedstatesofpeter.com/weblog](http://unitedstatesofpeter.com/weblog))
> and you have set in the options, the Blog address (URI) as the first mentioned
> URI then 2 things dont work: you cannot promote users, even if you do all the
> referrer stuff, and your comments go to a blank page. It is a bug I think because
> my users should be able to get linked all the time to weblog.uni…. . But OK.
> For me it works now!

* OK … I am having this exact same problem. I didn’t change ANY of the mettings
from one day to the next. Now, whenever I click on any post permalink, page and
even my admin, I get a blank button. Some of my readers tell me that can make
one comment to a post, but a blank page pops up.
* My URL is “[http://peoriapundit.com/blogpeoria”](http://peoriapundit.com/blogpeoria”);
* The template’s comments.pgp file already has the line:
* ” />
* I also went into by CPanel and turned off the redirect from the “[http://peoriapundit.com”](http://peoriapundit.com”);
domain.
* The problem persists.
* Help, Help, Help …

* I found that if I type “www” in front of the “peoriapundit.com” in the URL in
the address bar, I sometimes get better results.

* And here’s the odd part … the problem doesn’t seem to be happening in IE 7.0 …
just Firefox.
