In reply to: Multiple loops not working after 2.1All right, talking to myself, I know! I’ve sorted this out. It turns out that the problem was with the Sideblog plugin. I’ve now updated the plugin to v. 3.5, and after having to reconfigure all my display options, everything is working as it should.

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenHooray! I’ve finally got my comments working again. I recently redesigned the comments form in my custom theme but stupidly never properly tested it. In the course of the redesign I’d left out the following hidden field:
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />So, I put that back in and now thankfully everything is hunky-dory again. A timely reminder to me that it pays to check everything thoroughly when making any change, no matter how minor!
Anyway, thanks for the help — I don’t know if this’ll help you, Oscar.

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenThanks for posting, Oscar — I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who’s having these problems! I hope we can both find a cure soon.
Anyway, curiouser and curiouser — I was just looking at the Google Sitemaps statistics for my site (I have a sitemap in place which Google regularly downloads and supposedly crawls my site according to what it finds on the sitemap). In the latest statistics, it reports that it can’t find my wp-post-comments.php file. If you visit the file on its own, you get a blank screen (as has already been reported) — the source is as follows:
<html><body></body></html>The whole thing is getting stranger and stranger. If anyone can think of anything I haven’t tried yet, please chime in.

In reply to: .htaccess not updatingI’ve found in the past that some hosts can be troublesome with regard to .htaccess files. I don’t know if this applies to ThirdSphereHosting. The host might have policies in place which prevent *nix hidden/system files (e.g. .htaccess, .htpasswd) from being world-writeable. In your case it sounds like the .htaccess file is writeable (since you can write to it from within the edit files page) but there is something bizarre going on!
If your problems continue I’d recommend getting in touch with your host, telling them what you’ve been trying to do, and maybe ask them to recreate a new, blank .htaccess file.

In reply to: help with IP Cam feedHi Dobie
I’ve tried looking at your IP Camera (Webcam) feed, but every time it’s been inaccessible.
I would suggest that your question would be more suitably answered by people who know about your camera (I think it’s a Linksys model) — what you want to do is to be able to include just the image from the camera (without all the controls guffin) in a webpage.
Once you’ve found out how to do this, you can create a Page for your WordPress blog which contains the code for accessing the camera image feed. You can read more about WordPress Pages in this document in the Codex.
Sorry if that’s unhelpful, but post again to let us know your progress.

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenOK, I’ve been working on this for a while now. I thought that perhaps it had something to do with the Subscribe to Comments plugin — I then discovered that I was using an out-of-date version. I upgraded to version 2.0, but still no comments can be posted on my site. This is driving me nuts!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenThanks, justinbaeder, for that suggestion. I’ve carried that out and have disabled all my plugins, and yet the problem remains that comments can’t be posted!

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenThanks again for replying so promptly.
I tried disabling all plugins (except for Dunstan’s Time Since, since doing so would break the site unless I rewrote the templates) but that didn’t have any effect.

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenThanks for the help, Viper007Bond. Yes, the address bar shows http://www.richardflynn.net/articles/wp-comments-post.php, which is the correct location.
However, I don’t think this is the problem because HTTP referrers are working for me elsewhere (e.g. when using http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer). This is a problem that has been reported to me by several users now — for a while there, I was wondering why I wasn’t getting any comments at all (although I knew people were reading the posts)!
I did copy your code into the wp-comments-post.php file, commenting out the old line you mention. When you say that the code doesn’t work, are you working on it?
Thanks in advance to everyone who’s able to point me in any direction to get this problem resolved.

In reply to: Posting Comments Yields White ScreenI too am having this problem (my site is at http://www.richardflynn.net/articles) — I’ve seen a similar problem reported at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/40929, but the solutions suggested there didn’t work for me — I tried disabling comment-related plugins but that didn’t work, and comments have previously worked in my theme. Anyone got any ideas?
