    I’m using a Kubrick based template and somewhere along the link, my Post Comment link stopped linking to the comment window at the bottom of the page. The problem kind of “snuck” in on me. Any ideas where to start looking to fix this….

    Thanks in advance.

    Before I click on add comment the the URL address has ?p=1710, then after clicking on the add comment link it shows ?p=1710#comments, but stays at the top of the page.

    Any help?

    You need to amend comments.php and change the <div id="comments"> to <div id="respond">.

    I’ve looked in my comments.php file and cannot find a <div id=”comments”>

    The odd thing is this is working on my original test site which is the code I copied to this site, where it was working up to a point.

    I’m stuck

    My LAST problem with this site. I’m using WP 2.9.2 and have a Post Comment at the top of my posting in the same area as author, date, etc. The problem is when I click on it, nothing happens. It used to go to the bottom of the page where the comment window is. I’ve gone over my single.php page and can’t see the problem…

    Anyone have an idea of where to look…

    Thanks again

    I re-pasted the code back in for the comment link – works now?

    Well I’ll need big help on this one. My comment link works on the first post, that is, when clicked it goes to the comment window. Any post after the first post will not do that… I thought all of the post would use the single.php page, and if so, why would the first post be the only one to drop down to the comment window…

    Help!

    It would be much easier to figure this out if we had a link to your site.

    Ok, it looks like you actually need to do the opposite of what esmi originally suggested.

    In your Comments template (usually comments.php), find this:

    <div id="respond">

    and replace it with this:

    <div id="comments">

    It’s definitely a common source of confusion around here. Some themes use “comments,” some themes use “respond,” and some themes even use “replies.” In this case, your theme uses “comments.”

    Macmanx….a BIG thanks for that. I’ve spent days and days on this. Again, many many thanks. I’ll be sure to pass this on to any other visitors having the same issue.
