Comments repeating on respond page

This doesnt happen in other themes
So, it’s theme issue. It is as if calling the comments template files 3 times ??
Check your single.php file!

You may want to consider an upgrade to the 2.0.3. security update.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am using the ‘classic’ theme because it was the most basic and easiest for me to heavily modified therefore I have no single.php file as this theme does not appear to use it.

I also used the ‘classic’theme for other sites and did not have this problem.

Any other page I should try?

<em…to heavily modify…

I guess this is the keyword. And if derivated from classic – everything should be in the index.php. Are you using by any chance multiple Loops in it?

Also I just noticed if I delete my first call to the loop from index.php

‘<?php $posts = get_posts(‘category=1&showposts=5’);
foreach ($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>’

before my

‘<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>’

and the

‘<?php endforeach; ?>’

It eradicates this problem but then I cannot show the 5 posts from category 1 as I want. I have tried namy efforts at using a replacement but none of the other plugins or loop examples work the way I want.

aha you replied as I was writing.

i am using multiple loops however it is the only way I have found to get the result I need.

A lot of the examples and plugins dont let me have other loops and plugins on the homepage or in my includes/sidebars.

Also as mentioned I have used these loops on other sites and had no problems.

Since you started to post here… you could take a vanilla index and save it as single.php (with the basic, unmodified Loop) – and you would have been set ??

Thanks I had tried copying and pasting the single.php file previously but must have done it to a wrong folder.

Thanks for the help all is now good.
