I just found out that only one of my custom themes comment page works, but it’s no different from the other comments custom theme comments page. I know people would like to post comments, but they can’t because of this problem.
I thought upgrading to the newest WordPress would help, but that only disabled all my themes and plugins so I downgraded back to 2.0.4 thinking that would help.
Any suggestions would really really help…
Well since I couldn’t get any help in the past two days or so I browsed all the threads labeled “Cannot Post Comments” to see if anyone else got any help. Gotta say the majority of people asking for help with this same problem never got an answer. For the few that had similar problems whom did get help I read over the suggestions and tried to see if they’d help.
Luckly one did. In my custom made themes I created a file called single.php I then used the default theme’s single.php coding and modified my style.css file so the classes would match my blog’s theme.
Note: DO NOT add <?php get_sidebar(); ?> to single.php or the comments won’t post, just leave it as is.
It should be a single page with your post only along with the comment form underneath and any comments made to that post.
This should help the lot of you trying to figure out why the comments don’t work. Especially if you’re having the same problem I’m having…You know when you or a visitor tries to post a comment and it takes you to the index page or the visitor to a page saying: “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
Hope this helps anyone needing an answer for this problem.
