 * Hi All! Seems that all my comments disappeared with no rhyme or reason (at least
   none that I can ascertain). I searched the forums here and found a mind-numbing
   array of potential solutions, some of them as old as five years ago, so… I was
   wondering if someone who knows better than I (I’m a novice w.p. podcast blogger
   at best) which solution might apply to my situation. On the homepage it shows
   how many comments used to be in the posts but the posts themselves don’t show
   any of the comments.
 * Here’s the site in question:
    [http://thecuttingroompodcast.christianaproductions.com/](http://thecuttingroompodcast.christianaproductions.com/)
 * Here’s what the comments look like on my dashboard:
    Discussion 0 Comments 0 
   Approved 0 Pending 0 Spam
 * I’m using the Twenty Eleven Theme.
    I’m running the Askimet plug-in whose key
   seems to be valid. Deactivating it temporarily didn’t resolve the issue. In discussion
   setting, I have checked “An administrator must always approve the comment” (and
   this was set like this before the issue).
 * Any help would be seriously appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    JC

 * When did you last check your database? Or repair its tables? Or make a database
   backup?

 * Thanks for replying!
 * Um, sadly, never. I do this through my host server?
 * Could this be the comment issue?
 * I’m looking into it now. Any words of advice.

 * OK. I see “repair database” in my Web Hosting Control panel. Gonna give that 
   a try now.

 * ESMI,
 * So repairing the database from my server host didn’t work but I was able to repair
   the comments table and it worked!
 * Thanks, thanks, and thanks,
    Joe
