After scouring the source code for a while longer, I see that comments are enabled and “No comments” is being displayed beneath each post.

When the permalinks are set to “default” the comment option works just fine. The url being displayed (for the first post) is
“https://www.{my-url}.com/?p=1#respond”

when set to custom permalinks it displays
“https://www.{my-url}.com/postname/#respond”

when I manually enter the “?p=1” before the “#respond”
(showing “https://www.{my-url}.com/postname/?p=1#respond” )
the comments work! (p=1 for post 1, p=2 for post 2 and so on)

Therefore the active link directing to the comments page from the post page seems to be incorrect.

I was not able to locate the source code directing that URL. Which file would it be in?

Ideally the permalinks would be set up to post name rather than the number and the ?p=1;2;3 etc would be working as well.

Can anyone help tell me where to find the the code directing to the comments page and how change it so that the url is correct?

Okay, I do understand the distinction. Been about twelve hours, though, and I think if this is happening to more than one person, the entire community should at least be able to advise as to the nature of the bug. That is neither here nor there. Is there anything I can do about this?

This is soooo frustrating! So I have to choose between comments and permalinks? What the h… Is there any other way to generate permalinks, they are incompatible with comments, aren’t others having this issue?
Why aren’t the mods stepping forward with some diagnosis? Volunteers, yes, but this should be happening to others!

Okay, this is a WORDPRESS bug and it is uncool. I reinstalled the update, everything was sweet until I set permalinks and then poof! Comments gone!
A day wasted! And no help from any moderator!
I like WP but this update stuff is overdone, I lost a lot of little tweaks and I have to shut my blog down without permalinks.
I want to report this as a definite development bug:
Permalinks causing comment error!
But thank you WP for the nice CMS and please patch this!

Just moved all plugins to the root directory…I’m down to orginal template and my one post…I deconstruct too much more and I may as well just reinstall.
I think it was deleting the test comment. That’s why no one can help us. It is a bug. Unless an experienced moderator can save us…
I am sure we have the same glitch, my friend. Either deleting the test comment we also deleted the comment section, or it was a plug-in…but mine have been removed.
Good luck. I don’t think the theme is the problem, but it may come down to a fresh install.

Unless there is some other place to do it…the thing is, I had it working, made a comment to test, deleted it, and then heard from my friend that it didn’t work. I changed many things, but yes, every possible permission has been given to the system to enable comments. I’ve disabled a plug-in and am considering deleting it to see if that fixes it.
Is there a possibility this is a WP problem related to the recent upgrade? I’m using 2.21

Good suggestion, that would certainly narrow it down, but no, it is reacting the same. The link takes me to a subpage that says “respond” but no comment box appears after switching to default. Just as well, I didn’t want it to be my theme’s fault.

Yep…that’s the same thing that happened to me. Did you make any mods since you last had it working? Installed or turned on a plug in? Or changed anything related to comments, the last time my comments worked I deleted a test comment. Did you do something like that too?

Okay…my blog is here

WP 2.0.1 was included with my hosting package and I cannot figure out how to uninstall the older version or upgrade. I never installed any of the plug-ins, never even created posts in the old version, so from what I can tell, steps 1, 2, 3, & 4 in the “upgrade” tutorial are unnecessary.

I have all of the necessary specs for the newest version of WordPress.

What would be the best way to start my WP experience all over again with the new version?

How do I determine whether or not I have MySQL 4.0 &PHP version 4.2 or greater?

“WARNING: WordPress Versions 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 require PHP version 4.2 or greater, and MySQL version 4.0 or greater! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE if your server does not meet the minimum requirements!”

Any tips on running WP smoothly with NetFirms?

Beautiful! I was starting to suspect that that might be the answer. I am going to remove the old WP now and try installing the updated version.
Thank you MichaelH and HandySolo!

Thank you for the response. I have read the WordPress tutorials as well as a few other forums on the issue, I understand what they are telling me to do. I completed the “simple installation” and the blog directory was created within the correct domain, however the default blog page is not as the tutorials or any other forum says it should be.
