user name in comment doesn’t link

  • When users comment, their username won’t link to the webpages they enter or have in their profile. It worked when I first set-up the blog and phantom “Mr. WordPress” posted it’s comment, but no comments since are able to link.

    I double checked my comment.php code against the original, and everything seems fine, but I am really a php newb. This is the code that calls the author name and link right? <?php comment_author_link() ?>

    Here is a link to my blog, specifically the page with the test comments, if it helps: https://www.gingerkisses.net/wordpress/?p=1#comments

    I thought I’d update on this things I’ve tried….I’ve deactivated all of my plug-ins to make sure they weren’t causing any problems, but it didn’t fix the problem so I reactivated them.

    I also tried to see if perhaps the template tag comment_author_url_link would produce anything, but it just comes up blank. It’s like something is getting in the way, because the code is there as is the website link is in the user’s profile, but it’s just not creating the link in the user name.

    Since I posted last yesterday I have also tried replacing my comments.php in my theme with a copy of the one from the default theme, and the problem was still there.

    I’ve also repaired my database since then, and whereas that solved another problem of mine, it didn’t help this problem. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    I’ve uploaded my entire theme here:

    But the index.php has been renamed to the-index.php so it won’t try to load.

    Alright, I’ve Realized now that no matter what design template I use, the usernames in comments will not link to users webpages. So it must be an issue with wordpress itself, and also I think it may have started happening after I upgraded to 2.6.

    Does anyone have any clue as to how I can solve this?

    Anyone?

    Honestly I’ve tried everything I could think of also, it’s kind of odd that I can’t find more articles about this.
