Problem with Comments

  • Hi there,

    I have had my Word Press site up for a couple of months. I have been learning how to use it, edit and what not. I have noticed that the comments aren’t working.
    I tried to comment on my site and when I click submit, the page reloads. But no comment shows up and I recieve no notification that I have recieved a comment. I do sometimes get messages from Akismet saying I have spam. But when I log in there is no spam I can moderate or comments.
    My site is https://www.hillbillydirect.com

    I tried to roll it back to the WP default theme as well and it still didn’t work. I am guessing this is an easy fix, but I am stumped.

    Please, I would most appreciate any assistance with figuring this out and getting my WP installation working.

    Thank you,

    Jeromy

  • Have you tried disabling all your plugins and retrying it?

    Yes I did try that.

    I also switched back to WP Default theme, so rolling back to no mods and then tried, and still didn’t work. Everything else seems to function…. There isn’t even an error, the page just reloads like I hadn’t even submitted a comment.

    I am wondering, if I cleared out the existing WP files and reinstall, will my posts and data still be there?

    Maybe I should try that, but I am a bit concerned that I will lose the data I have already entered. I just want it to work…..sigh.

    I am hosted with Netfirms.ca

    Thanks for your help!

    Your host is bad news… they don’t have a “good press” around here.

    Have the comments ever worked? If they did, there is no use to upload the files again.

    I tried to make a test comment and it seems as if they are not added to the database: on other blogs when a successful comment is added, the end of the URL changes to …#comment-15051
    However, on your blog that number stays 0 (zero).

    Hi Moshu,

    Thanks so much for your comments.

    netfirms.ca has bad press?

    The site, I had installed by someone else. It did work initially yes. What have I done to it since? I have uploaded i3Theme, and Talian 1.0. I didn’t care for the first one, so I tried and liked Talian.
    I then uploaded a number of plugins,
    updated Akismet
    installed Adsense Manager
    installed All in One SEO
    Installed WP Auto Upgrade
    uploaded, but did not install, wordpress database backup and simular post.

    I deactivated all but Akismet and used the default theme, with no luck.

    Any ideas? I could send my admin login if it would be easier.

    On my server I have a Simple Machine Forum installed and another php based program. Both I installed myself with no trouble. The fella that I had install WP for me did have some challenges. I don’t have the budget to buy another hosting package (although perhaps I should as soon as I can?) so I would really like to try and figure this out to make it work. If you can provide further assistance. I would very much appreciate it.

    Thanks so much for your time,

    Jeromy
