Problems with comments
A visitor has notified me that posting comments doesn’t seem to work. At first I thought they were getting caught by the Akismet spam filter (wich does a great job, by the way), but this isn’t the case. I have tried posting comments myself and indeed, it doesn’t work. Not on new post and not on older posts that already had comments. I have no idea what is causing this. Since I don’t know much about PHP, MySQL or Wordpress, I’ll have to do some searching and experiment a bit, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to install Wordpress all over again, so there may be a few other glitches in the next few days.
UPDATE:
I have found out the problem has something to do with the theme. When I switch to another theme the comments work again. Since I don’t really feel like diving into a pile of very messy PHP code I’m just gonna search for a new theme.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
Okay, I have found what the problem is. Apparently, there was something wrong with the form for posting comments. I have no idea how this happened and why it worked before, but I copied some code from another theme and now it seems to work again. Seems like I won’t need another theme after all!
