People Suddenly Can’t Comment on WP Blog

    I’m just bewildered by a sudden commenting problem. I didn’t notice it because my comments appear as long as I post them when I’m logged in, but when someone else (or me, not logged in) tries to comment, it takes a long time and then eventually turns up an “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” error, with https://www.thewordens.org/openup/wp-comments-post.php in the address field.

    The only change I’m aware of making recently is my theme, but this problem started a few days after I changed the theme. I did check to make sure I hadn’t deleted or changed the name of the wp-comments-post.php file, but beyond that, I just don’t know.

    Does anyone have any ideas what’s wrong and what I can do?

    If the blog’s address is needed, it’s https://www.thewordens.org/openup. Thanks in advance!

    I’m so sorry to reply to my own post, but I don’t see a way to edit the original post. I just wanted to update to say that I tried reverting back to my old theme, and the problem persisted.

    Thanks again in advance for anyone who can help me figure this out!

    There has been a change in this problem. I did a couple of little things to try and fix it – things others have tried for a similar problem – but no luck.

    One odd thing is that the comments suddenly no longer work on any of the three blogs I maintain on my current hosting provider. I e-mailed them about it this afternoon but haven’t yet received a response.

    Tonight, I just thought I would try posting a comment again and instead of the long hang-up resulting in “IE cannot open this page”, I got the following:

    Warning: main(/home/theworde/public_html/openupwp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theworde/public_html/openup/wp-comments-post.php on line 2

    Warning: main(/home/theworde/public_html/openupwp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theworde/public_html/openup/wp-comments-post.php on line 2

    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/theworde/public_html/openupwp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/theworde/public_html/openup/wp-comments-post.php on line 2

    I know I don’t have an openupwp-config.php file because, well, I don’t… just the regular wp-config file. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Shari

    Have no idea what caused the problem in the first place, but upgraded to 2.0.9 today (thanks Whooami), and comments SEEM to be working again. I will know for sure once my readers start drifting back. ??
