 * Hi,
 * Quite newbie question but can’t find solution.
 * I can add comments when logged as admin but it isn’t possible as guest.
 * – The comment form action is `site_url( '/wp-comments-post.php');`
    – No global
   variable seems to block the process – I have this issue in both dev/prod environnement–
   Discussions are set as follow : [http://imgur.com/tvaxD9D](http://imgur.com/tvaxD9D)–
   Each article allow comments – Running WP 3.9 – I don’t have plugin that manage
   comments – I only see “forbidden” as content and “error” as page title, file 
   returns 500 internal error
 * Any help would be welcome o/
