 * Hi, I hope somebody can help me.
 * I am helping out a friend set up his blog but the comment feature in the Post
   does not seem to work. I have enabled the ‘Allow people to comment’ option in
   the Discussion setting, ticked the ‘Allow comments’ and ‘Allow trackbacks and
   pingbacks’ options on each Post, but still it won’t work.
 * I also cannot go to the post itself. When I click the title, usually a page will
   open up with the post, but this time, it doesn’t.
 * This is the page in question:
    [http://petealdin.com/blog-and-podcasts-2#respond](http://petealdin.com/blog-and-podcasts-2#respond)
 * What may have I done wrong in the set up and how can I fix it?
 * Thank you so much!
    Lydia

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.
