 * Hi everyone,
    I have seen my problem listed on the forum and read everything 
   but…. I want when someone click on comments under the post that a popup comes
   up and yes I know I read that removing the 2 // on my index page should do it
   but it doesn’t. I tried and tried and still the comments show up under the post.
   You can view my source here [http://over-50-and-kicking.com](http://over-50-and-kicking.com)
   and try it yourself. Is there something else I have to do? Change a template 
   somewhere? I’m really stuck and frustrated 🙁 Thanks Lise

 * The answer was quite easy. You should also read the wiki, it contains usefull
   answers, especially for the “problem” you’re having :

 * Merci Romain, but if you read my post, I said that I did that and it still does
   not work and I have read everything in the forum and the wiki. And it still is
   not working…I have now maybe figure out what the problem is but don’t know how
   to fix it.
    If you click on my comments link under the post, it points to [http://over-50-and-kicking.com/index.php?p=13#comments](http://over-50-and-kicking.com/index.php?p=13#comments)
   and on other sites, I saw that it would point to .com/wp-comments-popup.php?p
   =13#comments and that’s why I don’t have a popup window, it opens up in the style
   of the index page. Where and how can I change that? Thanks Lise

 * Does your code look like this ?
    `<?php comments_popup_script(); // off by default?
   >`

 * Hi Podz
    Yes it is, see `<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url');?
   >" /> <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?> <?php comments_popup_script();//
   off by default ?> <?php wp_head(); ?> </head> I copied it directly from just 
   above the </head> on my index.php page Lise

 * What does your feedback section say in the index.php?
    Mine says this: `<div 
   class="feedback"> <?php link_pages('Pages: ', '', 'number'); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('
   Comments (0)', 'Comments (1)', 'Comments (%)'); ?>  </div>

 * Here is what it says:
    `<div class="feedback"> <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> <?php
   comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)'));?
   > </div> How come it’s not the same as yours? Do you have 1.2mingus? I do but
   since I don’t know php, I did not touch it. Lise

 * I did upgrade to 1.2 but I didn’t upgrade my index, since I had changed stuff
   around. I don’t think those minor differences would cause a problem tho.
    Maybe
   there is a problem with your comments popup script? I have no idea. I don’t even
   know where that would be. I did notice in your source code, that the script is
   not there. Mine says this: `<script type="text/javascript"> function wpopen (
   macagna) { window.open(macagna, '_blank', 'width=450,height=400,scrollbars=yes,
   status=yes'); } </script> but it comes from the script (I think) you can’t add
   it yourself (to my knowledge) So I think whatever is supposed to insert that 
   into your pages maybe isn’t working? I dunno, I’ve gotten beyond my meager knowledge
   of how things work here.

 * Thanks Oriecat, and BTW, love the look of your blog 🙂
    Now that does not fix
   my problem. ANYONE Pleeeeese, how come the javascript does not show? How come
   the popup link points to my index page? How come it’s now working? I’m sooo frustrated
   by this. I just want to blog. Please Podz, anyone? Lise

 * My guess is that something in index.php is wrong.
    View Source on this page:

   and on yours. You both have popups set … I think you may need to let someone 
   have full access to login to your blog and check through your file and compare
   it line by line with another. It’s either that or pasting a lot of code in here.

 * OK I fixed the problem, which was me of course 🙂
    Actually what I had done is
   follow the instructions for different directories for the wordpress files and
   the index file, but I’m must have done something wrong. So anyway, I just redirected
   my [http://over-50-and-kicking.com/index.php](http://over-50-and-kicking.com/index.php)
   page to [http://over-50-and-kicking.com/wordpress](http://over-50-and-kicking.com/wordpress)
   on my server and voila, done. Thanks a lot all of you for your help and Podz 
   said it was BigJibber who found what was wrong…so thanks a million. Now I can
   go and ‘play’ around with the CSS LOL Lise

 * I seem to be having the same problem as lise had. How do I redirect my pages?
   Or is there another fix?
