# passworded posts: no comments

 * Suddenly I’ve noticed that my blog won’t display the comment form for passworded
   posts – this is to people with the password of the post, including me as admin.
   Instead it says: “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view
   comments.” both before and after you enter the password.
 * The only thing I have done is to change the text that displays when a passworded
   entry is posted. But I have even grabbed a fresh template-functions-post.php 
   and uploaded it and I still have this problem.
 * I’m thinking it’s a cookie thing because it used to be that when I’d post one
   of these, if you’d enter in the password, you’d see it for all time. Now if I
   leave the page and come back, I have to enter the password again.
 * I have not messed with anything other than to change text on the template-functions-
   post.php. I haven’t messed with the cookies or anything.
 * I guess this could be a conflict from a plugin or something but I don’t know 
   for how long it’s been going on, but I’m thinking several weeks now… I thought
   it was strange no one commented on my last passworded post…
 * Eh, anyone know what might be going on here or how I can find out what’s going
   on?
 * Thanks!!

 * Sometimes this can happen if you visit your domain with or without a www.

 * hmmm… Okay I tried both spoken-for.org and [http://www.spoken-for.org](http://www.spoken-for.org)
   and spoken-for.org is not displaying the contact form, [http://www.spoken-for.org](http://www.spoken-for.org)
   is not even letting you read the post in FireFox when you enter the password.
   It does, however in IE, but still does not display the comment form.
 * The blog URL is without the www

 * Well Ringmaster has figured it out for me, instead of
 * if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’.COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password)
 * I had
 * if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’.$cookiehash] != $post->post_password)
 * and, apparently, that makes a big deal… 😉
 * Thanks, everyone!
