Comment fields not showing…but visible with Firebug

Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

You need to start by turning your current theme into a new theme and then re-uploading a fresh copy of the original Twenty Ten theme.

remove the height from #container –

in style.css of you theme

#container {
	float: left;
	margin: 0 -240px 0 0;
	width: 100%;
	height: 2000px;
}

or change it into min-height: 2000px; if the height is important.

consider to make regular backup copies until your child theme is ready.

Hey alchymyth,

first of all, thanks for checking out my post.

i tried both things (removing the height and/or using min-height). But nothing really changes. See https://www.mintonline.be/anits/?page_id=65 after the css update.

Really strange. I’ve been looking at lots of different options with Firebug, but i can’t seem to find the problem. Grr. Frustrating, because i can see the fields with Firebug.

you are right – i stopped too early without checking the whole css:

there is another fixed height in style.css for #main:

#main {
	clear: both;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 20px 0 0 0;
	height: 900px;

}

try and change it to min-height: 900px;

Hey Alchymyth,

you rock! I must have overlooked that #main section. It works fine now.

Big thanks!

Greetz,
