I’m blaming on the weather in Utah.

What you see in the preview is quite frequently NOT what shows up on the site.

Well, I wouldn’t know that either would I? If you don’t have a local copy of the wp distribution, you can download the most recent version from the download link at the top of the page.

Or ask the person who did the work.

One option (NOT for the faint of heart!) is to edit the post in the database, putting the real code in direct.

I can’t even reconstruct the ugly hack, since for some reason, I didn’t keep a copy of the previous file.

What I finally wound up doing was simply to install an instance of wp in its own subfolder after creating the database. Then on the commentloop.php page (which resides in site root), I input the following as the very first line of the file (above even the doctype):

<?php require('/home/username/public_html/wpfoldername/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

which means that any comments left through the page get saved to the database per normal, and display according to standard criteria in wp-options.

Had the client not been pushing for “instant”, I would no doubt have figured that out first!

I *think* wordpress.com is running 2.1 – which you could do if you want to use a beta version.

Try clearing your browser cache and hard-refreshing.

Y’know, I’m COMPLETELY embarrassed to say that I totally forgot to write this up. So I’m glad kiralmarch resurrected the thread. I’ve noted this on my paper planner and my PDA to-do list; I’ll try to get it together by the weekend.

Sorry!
