I figured out a solution that finally works! Sorry if it’s rather drastic.

Export all your database tables except for wp_users, wp_usersmeta, and wp_options and save it as a file.

Then delete your whole database and uninstall wordpress. Reinstall wordpress so that it creates all new data in the database. Test this to make sure the comments work.

Lastly, import the database tables (minus users, usersmeta, options) from your old database. All your posts and comments and everything should be restored, except that you’ll probably have to tweak all your settings again.

So, the problem is in one of those three tables, but I couldn’t find it. I hope this helps everyone.

I won’t mark this as resolved in case someone else figures out a better fix or this doesn’t work for everybody.

Samboll,

Neither of my sites are using plugins at all. The real site never used any and the test site was a fresh install.
