• Ok, I have been searching and can’t find any info on this issue. I just upgraded to 1.5 and kept my old template.

    (see here: http://brianpatton.org/ )

    I converted it to a theme according to Podz’ Upgrade Guide.

    My old comments/trackbacks are still there in the Admin interface, but the fields, buttons, trackback uri, or comments do not show up anymore.

    Any suggestions? (Thanks in advance)

  • Hmmm. This is one of my issues too. I’m currently testing 1.5 with Linux/xampp and solving it is on my to-do list. Also, my comments pop-up isn’t styled. It feels like a simple mistake or two somewhere, so I’m going to go through the changes again very carefully line by line.

    Update:

    I changed my “comments.php” to the “comments.php” that was packaged with the default template. I can see my old comments now, but the other info is still missing.

    Thanks mikep. I agree, it has to be something simple.

    Cracked it. Comments-popup must contain the line
    ‘@import url( <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?> );’ to refer to the style. And I replaced the old comments.php with the new 1.5 version. Now for more testing… I like what I see in 1.5!

    Ok, finally found a solution:

    1) Go to wp-comments-post.php

    Delete out …

    // If the user is logged in
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ( $user_ID ) :
    $comment_author = addslashes($user_identity);
    $comment_author_email = addslashes($user_email);
    $comment_author_url = addslashes(str_replace(’http://’, ‘’, $user_url));
    else :
    if ( get_option(’comment_registration’) )
    die( __(’Sorry, you must be logged in to post a comment.’) );
    endif;

    Then save and upload.

    2) Next go to your comments.php for each theme you want to fix and delete out:

    < ?php else : ? >

    I can’t be sure it will work for everyone, but it worked for my converted 1.2 template and the default.
