Also dragged widgets into the Pri and Sec widget areas, then deleted them.

That didn’t work either.

In case anybody’s interested, I spent several more hours with tech support and finally accepted that the only solution was to reinstall WP.

Lost all my work.

Have to rebuild.

Content box is gone with the same theme I was using. So it wasn’t the theme.

Will check what happens after each plugin installaion and activation to see if that turns up any explanations.

Did all three.

And changed the name of the plgins folder to disable it completely. the result of that was everything on the site went away EXCEPT the comment box.

So the problem is definitely not an active or unactive plugin. It’s not the theme, since the comment box is there with Twenty Ten and every other theme I tried.

The problem is something in WordPress. The installation is good. And at one point, before this problem, I unchecked the box for “Allow people to post comments” under Settings, Discussion, and the comment boxes DID all go away. But they came back, and the problem that this ticket is about started.

I’ve searched for hours and haven’t found anything anywhere about this problem.

Advice, anyone?

Thanks!

How do you do a page redirect?

I just found this as well:

RSS Feed! Great idea. Have never set one up, but I think I get the gist.

Can anyone confirm if RSS would work for putting excerpts of posts on a Page that’s created and set as a static front page? and how?

You can have a page you create be the front page from https://yourdomainname.com

Settings, Reading, Front Page Displays

But what if you need post excerpts to be published on the front page? The system doesn’t put post excerpts on a page you create and set as the front page with Settings, Reading, Front Page Displays.

weird, i have the same question at the same time you do.

here’s a discussion about how to remove:

i need to keep the home link though, and make it point where i want it to.

i don’t think you can use plugins with wp.com.

but i think you can create a forum with https://bbpress.org/

is the address in Settings, General correct?

it’s probably a setting, you just haven’t found it yet.

but you can make your own themes with artisteer. i’d give you my affiliate link, but shouldn’t do that here.

There’s a discussion of this after this article about upgrading to 3.0
https://wpmu.org/how-to-upgrade-wpmu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0-in-5-easy-steps/

maybe that’ll help.

you can do a search for the word “disappeared” to see what somebody else did.

Problem was the settings of plugin “Sticky Front Page Categories and Tags.”

Allow people to post comments on new articles.

It IS there. But it’s UNchecked, and the Leave A Reply box doesn’t go away.
