Same thing happened here. And turning off shortcodes in Jetpack does solve the issue. But why did it happen in the first place?

That’s great Jeremy, will do as you suggest. Most of my readers have been with me for years, and their accounts precede any of this social log-in stuff… ??

OK – done.

Fine by me. Anything to get it all working again!

…and not just with the top post…

By the way, it’s not just one reader: same thing has happened with at least three.

Here’s the screenshot provided. Looks like Chrome on Windows to me, and the URL is the plain vanilla post page.

Is there some way that WP/Jetpack is misreading the post ID, dropping the last three digits of the new post?

Incidentally – the theme also seems to have a problem with long comments. Posting a long comment “loses” the post comment button – it doesn’t scroll back as it should. But that’s probably better left to another place…

He was using his account at Hot Topic, not one of those other services. He sent me a screenshot showing that.

I have helpful readers… ??

Incidentally, in testing yesterday, if I used the WP setting to turn off comments on posts over 14 days old, attempting to comment under the top post got a “post closed” warning…

OK – a tame reader has posted a test comment under the current top post (got a screenshot to prove it), but it has appeared under the old post. So – definitely something going on…

Thanks for looking at this. I’ll let you know as soon as someone comments…

Hi Daniel,

I moved the last back up file into the http root folder (I had to remove the “remove old SQL” file before BackWPup would see it), then ran the restore.

That gave me an error message saying something like “Charset should be Latin-1″ in wp-config”. Site wasn’t working, so I made that change to wp-config. Still not working, but when I changed wp-config back to utf8, site was working, *but* with the character issues I described above.

Happy to give you access. Email me at gareth at hot-topic.co.nz.

Cheers

Yes, 1.7.2 worked – 1.7.3 failed for me with:
