• Having got my WP template integrated into my website and just about as I want it – testing the Comments form with a dummy name and address, the form does everything I want it to but the dummy name and address doesn’t clear. In other words, when I go to the Comments form again, the name and address are still there. I’ve checked all the code against the template I cloned from but can’t find what I must have missed. Please help. Thanks

  • got my WP template integrated into my website

    What do you mean by this? WordPress integrated to HTML site? Theme name or site URL?

    Comments use cookies. As long as WP thinks the same user is their it does not reset. Log out and view and you won’t see this.

    “got my WP template integrated into my website:”

    WordPress loads into an iframe on my home page. The temporary home page I’m using to test things until this is all fixed is:
    http://www.elizabethdoidge.com/index2.html

    I closed the computer down, went and did some shopping, cooked and ate tea, turned it on again, went to the address above without logging in to WordPress and the name was still showing as ‘me’ and the address as ‘liz@elizabethdoidge.com’. I have asked a friend to test it from her computer but the site was busy!!

    Please ignore all of the above. Checked my Firefox security settings, which had been set to remove cookies when Firefox was closed down and during some ugrading it had reset itself to keeping all cookies.
    Deleted the lot which immediately fixed my problem! Now all I have to do is resolve the cookie question, but can stop peering at lines of incomprehensible code.
    Thankyou, samboll, o genius. Only wish I’d asked 10 hours ago.

    OK, so tell me why I can see a friend’s information in the discussion area form then?? She was the last person that posted to my blog, from HER computer, and all of her information shows up for me on MY computer. Help!
