Blank page appears after posting a comment

Still haunted by the blank page bug! ??

I Searched and fond a lot of discussion on this but no effective solution yet.

After I hit “submit a comment” my site went to a 404 page. This is the code that solved my problem. Maybe it can solve yours.

In comments.php try adding this line of code:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); ?>" />

After:
<?php thesis_hook_comment_form(); ?>

So the whole thing looks like:

<?php thesis_hook_comment_form(); ?>
					<p>
						<input name="submit" class="form_submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="<?php _e('Submit', 'thesis'); ?>" />
						<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
						<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); ?>" />
					</p>
					<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>

Thanks, yaelkmiller.

But unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. ??

I guess, this could be due to improper update of WP from previous version!
Please check this!

Thanks Tamilsweet (Isn’t Tamil so sweet!!)

I am trying out reuploading. Yes, I’m having problems with FTP. It gets timedout soon and just suspends all activity. May be it is server-related.

As you have guessed, some files might have been partially uploaded/overwritten.

I’ll check it out and come back to thank you again!!

Tamilsweet,

Yes! You were right. Re-uploaded the whole thing and it works ok now.

Loads of thanks to you.

Just downloaded 2.7.1 and copy over the old wp-content, but no luck.

I’ve got a similar but a little different problem — users can enter comments but they never display. Tried changing the theme, plugins, re-installing 2.7.1, everything I can think of.

At this point I almost need to hack my DB to dump information into a backup copy of 2.7 and go from there.

AUTOUPDATE seems dangerous w/o embedded backups!!!!

I’ve tried everything mentioned here but am still getting white blank pages whenever I try to post a comment on my site.

Oddly enough, if I am logged in I can post comments. However, no visitor can post a comment. I do have comments enabled.
