# comments won’t post

 * About a week ago my comments stopped working. I didn’t add any plugins or change
   the code at all so I’m not sure what changed. When a user clicks the post button
   at the bottom of the comment form, they are taken to /wp-comments-post.php, which
   shows a blank page, and the comment is lost / never posted.
 * Anyone have ideas?

 * I am having the same problem. Restarting Apache fixes it, but the problem resurfaces
   at whim. When users go to submit a comment, they are either taken to a blank 
   page or, in some browsers, asked to DOWNLOAD the .php file.

 * Same issue here – can’t find much on the problem either. I have only one post
   affected and redoing the post with a different name and date doesn’t fix it either.
