Title: Comment Section Is Broken Last modified: June 30, 2019 --- # Comment Section Is Broken * [jebarni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jebarni/) * (@jebarni) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-section-is-broken-2/) * Any ideas on how to fix this? * I recently “upgraded” to the latest WordPress. It was a step by step (one WP version at a time) manual upgrade from 4.7 to 5.1. The comment section no longer works properly. * I have upgraded automatically to the latest, and it did not fix the problem. * If you comment, there are errors. The comment sticks, but the counter does not change and after submission of the comment, the posted sees this error message: * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): Access denied for user ”@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/MYDIRECTORY/public_html/wp-content/plugins/SK2/sk2_functions. php on line 93 * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/MYDIRECTORY/public_html/wp-content/plugins/SK2/sk2_functions.php on line 93 Failed to query blacklist: ip – 47.137.192.152.
