    Turned out to be an issue with the server forwarding and not a WordPress problem. 🙂

    Yes, this is what I have attempted to do. I have the url to the /blog subdirectory forwarded to the blog.domainname url, but it doesn’t work.

    So I try changing the WordPress address and/or Site address to reflect that, but it doesn’t work. The new url lands me in the correct folder, but with no WordPress firing up.

    I’ve tried all kinds of combinations of these factors, with different htaccess files, with define relocate… everything I can think of with my very small newbie brain.

    Also the blog doesn’t work with the subdomain http://www.sitename.com/blog either, just sitename.com/blog. Even though the server has forwarding set up for www… included. But what I’m ideally trying for is blog.domainname.com.

    Trying again since my last comment was deleted (!)

    I may not have articulated my dilemma correctly, because the link I received as a reply doesn’t address my problem. At least not as far as I am able to understand the text.

    I do not want to move my WordPress blog. It is installed into a subfolder on my domain. I merely want to forward a subdomain to it, such as blog.blabla.com instead of an url with a trailing folder.

    Would really appreciate any help on this as I have followed all the guides and after many days of work I still get nowhere. 🙂

    I had to undo my changes in the database tables, which turned out to be suprisingly simple.

    However I am now back to where I was, and I still cannot figure out how to make the forwarded url work. I did it years ago with another weblog, but I cannot remember how. 🙁

    BTW, I meant www forwarding, not DNS forwarding.

    Thanks, I’ve tried the first methods now with no effect. 🙁
    I suppose I have to find a way of looking into the database tables next. I have no idea how a database works, but I will have to read and try.

    One thing I cannot find the answer to tho, is exactly what is supposed to be stated in the two admin panel urls where you put the blog and site’s url. For a site forwarded (DNS) from http://blablaexample.com/wordpress to http://blog.blablaexample.com, should it say exactly that in both fields?

    So if this still isn’t possible, does anyone have any idea how to do some workaround or embedding of something which would appear more or less like this:

    – Link in menu is clicked.
    – Login page with question that needs to be answered correctly.
    – Upon correct answer, list of WP posts with no further login.

    I guess this is probably only possible with a single passworded category, but maybe one could make a page with the login and link that to a hidden category. Or something. I don’t know.

    Great! I’ve completely missed that part. Thanks a lot for a quick and straight forward answer!

    You did it! It finally works right!

    Yes, you are right about me wanting to display the newest comments first. It is so far to scroll all the way down to the bottom with 141 comments. 🙂

    Come to think of it scrolling all the way to the bottom to post is a bit too much to ask of my guests too so I now moved the entire form to the top, which also seems to work.

    I am EXTREMELY happy that this is finally fixed. You have no idea how many hours have gone into reading and following completely wrong clues in order to solve this puzzle. But you found the problem right away!

    Thank you so much!!!

    Aha. Sorry. The code is only in my guestbook template page, as the only comments allowed are on a single page with a single post which functions as a guestbook. Here it is:

    Wow! I didn’t know about the pastebin. That is quite cool!

    I’ve posted my comments file here:
    http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/921117

    And my index here:
    http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/921121

    Thanks a lot for your help so far guys! I’m sure looking at my code will be as painful as squeezing an unusually large lemon directly into the eyes. I apologize for my noobiness.

    Could this be it? (It’s very difficult for my tiny brain to read code). If so, what can I change about it?

    <?php $comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = $post->ID ORDER BY comment_date DESC"); ?>

    <?php if ( $comments ) : ?>

    moshu: I typed the sentence “This comment is in moderation” into the text field of the comment form. I thought I was being smart but I guess I only confused everyone. Sorry. 🙂

    That is the content of the comment. Where it says “This comment is in moderation” it could have said… whatever the commenter or spammer wanted to say.

    Otto42: I’m looking through my theme now for any smoking code guns…

    Really? You can’t see it? Hmmm. But what about the spam comments that come in all the time that is held in moderation queue (by Akismet). They are visible to me when I’m logged out and I certainly didn’t post any of those.

    I only posted this example comment to show what I mean, but I guess I should have left some spam comments as well to illustrate.

    I’ve done that, I’m afraid. No use.

    It’s been like this for a long time. I had sort of forgotten about the problem until a recent onslaught of spam made me aware of it again.

    Now I have a new clean WP install and everything new except for the theme. And still it persists.

    Now I have added another comment which is currently held in moderation. It still says 141 comments but there is an additional comment with the text content “This comment is in moderation”.

    I can see this even if I am logged out. And so apparently can other people.
