 * `Hi everyone,
 * I customized a theme that was originally from one called Citrus ([http://www.nikynik.com/templates/](http://www.nikynik.com/templates/))
   and it seems like the comments are disabled on all older posts EXCEPT the first
   post. If you try to comment on an older entry, you get a pop up saying that you
   don’t have permission to post-comment.php. I’m not a programmer and only a designer
   so I have no idea how to remove this so anyone can comment on any post. I don’t
   think I have a plugin that is doing this.
 * Can someone please please help me? Thanks in advance!!
 * Here is the link to my blog: [http://twentyfourcarat.net/](http://twentyfourcarat.net/)

 * That’s weird, I keep on getting this pop up:

 * Only the first entry [on each page] works as that’s the latest entry.

 * Ok, i see. There are some comments closed and some open. Maybe you set the to
   private or closed the comments in your admin panel.

 * Yeah, some of the comments are closed, but even if you try to comment on an entry
   that has it’s comments opened, you get that error pop up.
 * I didn’t have this problem until I switched over to this theme. I’m not totally
   experienced with CSS and coding so I modified a downloaded theme that was closest
   to what I had in mind for my layout instead of starting one from scratch or else
   that would’ve taken me years!! =P

 * I clicked on the comment link of “Kinda refreshing, eh?” in IE, FF and Opera 
   without getting any popups or errors.

 * Oops sorry I should’ve been clearer! The pop only appears when you press “submit
   comment.” Or is that what you already did? Thanks

 * If you go to this website and download the “CITRUS” theme, you should see all
   the files. There are a lot of them! I didn’t modify anything but the CSS and 
   the header and index page.

   of it? I activated it and it looks like this:

 * Yep, I took his whole theme and modified the CSS, I’m not a programmer like I
   said. =D It would take me much longer to start one from scratch.
 * I hope he does.. I commented on his page but he didn’t reply. =(
