In reply to: Comments link only refreshes pageI’m well past the limits of knowledge on this stuff as far as ‘why’ goes, but here is what worked for me until other matters shut it down:
Go to options – permalinks – and paste one of the example structure strings into the ‘structure box, hit “Update Permalink Structure” – either your htaccess will br rewritten or you will be supplied with the text to put into your htaccess file. Your link structure will be such that you will avoid “…/?…” in your URI strings, I think, and that is what was not making my ex-host’s server happy.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments link only refreshes page. . Solution?
My problem was because of bad server settings on the one week old ‘upgraded’ server. My provider addmitted it, but said they wouldn’t get around to fixing it anytime soon. What I think would have worked as a work around would be to use permalinks. Tried it, but my provider had deteriorated to the point of requiring my to submit a request to customize an htaccess file. And after doing that, I realized their mod_rewrite wasn’t set up correctly. I jumped ship (changed hosts) and WP1.5 was up and running error free in 5 minutes max on the new host. I have since taken my other three domains off of the old provider’s ‘upgraded’ system.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Where does .htaccess live?My host’s new ‘upgraded’ server somehow over-rides the ability to see hidden files in WS_FTP even with “ls -a” . – Sometimes I hate so-called upgrades. Need to use their control panel. (Was getting 500 server errors because of a .htaccess I couldn’t even see! grrrr)

In reply to: Comments link only refreshes pageI have the same problem and will try to describe it:
This is not theme-dependant. My blog is in a subdirectory – don’t think it matters.
When I click the comment link at the bottom of a post, while I am on the index.php page (link usually says “no comments”), the URI indicated is “http://www.highcacres.com/hcafriends/?p=9#comments“
The page that is ‘opened’ is actually “http://www.highcacres.com/hcafriends/index.php#comments“
I’m guessing that the “?p=9#comments” should have in its entirity been appended to “index.php”, so the page should have been
“http://www.highcacres.com/hcafriends/index.php?p=9#comments“
because if I type this in manually, my comment form loads. This also happens for the category selection, and I’m pretty sure it will happen with “/?anything” on my server.
Any clues as to server settings that may make this happen? My host just ‘upgraded’ – still Apache I believe.
