I finally got set on track. The issue was one that the .htaccess file was not created or updated when WordPress was installed.

Under SETTINGS is the Permalinks area that is used to identify the URL for your blog posts. There are a variety of selections there. Since I am hosting WordPress on my own, apparently WP is unable to add or update this area automatically (like it does on adding Plugins). So one has to update the .htaccess file yourself. NOTE: It does say this cryptically at the bottom of the Permalinks page – but for a newbie like me – I just did not get it until I read the ALL ABOUT PERMALINKS section of the WP documentation.

I created a 1.htaccess file copying the code suggested at the bottom of the Permalinks page. Then I ftp’d the file to into my WordPress directory, changed the name to .htaccess … and suddenly I was able to post comments.

You are RIGHT! I finally got set on that track. The issue was one that the .htaccess file was not created when WordPress was installed.

My question is how to get comments to WORK at all! Using 2.7.1 and iNove theme.
https://www.johnnyrodgers.com/wordpress/ this is a new blog still working on the bugs… but was not expecting commenting to be so difficult.

The link for comments “…./#response ” can not find the URL (error http 404). This does not seem to be unique to iNove theme as the WP default theme also does not allow comments to work on my blog.

Any ideas?

the link that appears when I click on the post to add a comment goes to https://…./wordpress/blogpost name/#response .

the #response link does not appear to exist. Any thoughts where this link should be?

OK – I figured out that I need to edit files on my host… so that issue is resolved….the dashboard template editor shows the files, but does not allow editing apparently?

Any way my comment adding problem AND my WP-Poll problem still exist.

I am using 2.7 – new blog at https://www.johnnyrodgers.com/wordpress and comments will not work …Have tried several templates to no avail.. I think that all the templates do not have separate comments files – so it must be something in the comments php files themselves?

I get a “webpage can not be found” error http 404.
The following code for adding comments in the single.php file goes to a href #respond acording to the URL….

<span class=”comments”><?php _e(‘Goto comments’, ‘inove’); ?></span>
<span class=”addcomment”><?php _e(‘Leave a comment’, ‘inove’); ?></span>

ALSO – the closest thing to template_comments is this code in the single.php file is :

<?php include(‘templates/comments.php’); ?>

ANY IDEAS?
