    Greetings…

    I’ve been using WP for last couple years, and recently the server died and I had to move to a new locale. All is up and working except the comments. You can leave comments, but they don’t show up. It indicates they’re in fact there “Comments (2)” but when you click on comments, you get nothing.

    v: 1.2.1

    Any helps is IMMENSELY appreciated. I’ve tried to figure it out for a couple weeks now…

    Any chance you can upgrade to WP 2.0.2? Your particular error seems a little confusing. You’ve obviously modified the comments.php file to add the image authentication. So you might go through that file again?

    Upgrading would definatley be a good idea. Although I’m not certain, I do believe that an older version such as that would probably have known security exploits.

    I would if I didn’t lose all my custom layout settings… Is there a way to retain them?

    If all your modifications were within your theme, then you should be OK. But if you’ve modified core WP files as well you’ll have to merge the changes.

    Hmmm… it’s been a few years, i’m not sure… is there a list of main files somewhere so I’d know? i’d sort by date but the dates are wrong since everything was uploaded to a new server recently…

    If all of your changes are contained within the wp-content folders, then you’re probably OK.

    To confirm, you could do the following..goto http://static.wordpress.org/archive/ and grab the archive for the WP version you have.

    If you are on a Linux webhost, then uncompress the archive to a new directory called “wp-orig” and then run a diff against your current blog as:

    diff -uBbNr wp-orig <current-blog-directory> > wp.diff

    That way you can see where your changes are concentrated.
