Ah, sorry. I’ve just started trying to learn php and I’m still quite clueless!

The comments.php file:

if ( post_password_required() )
{
echo ‘<p class=”nocomments”>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>’;
return;
}
} else
{
if (!empty($post->post_password))
{ // if there’s a password
if ($_COOKIE[‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password)
{ // and it doesn’t match the cookie ?>
<p class=”nocomments”>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
<?php return;
}
}
}

It just doesn’t show the comments. I can see them in my admin page, but they don’t show up on the public page proper. There’s no message saying “no responses” or anything like that. I have set comments to open in Settings and on the individual page.

Thanks iridiax!

How would you recommend fiddling with the php so that it doesn’t create an error that just basically wrecks the wordpress install (i.e. can’t even access the admin page anymore)? That’s what just happened to me last time I tried fooling around with the php.
