{siteurl} goes to wrong wp-comments-post.php

  • I just set up a new blog. The comments form {siteurl} variable is submitting to the wordpress directory’s wp-comments-post.php rather than the file in the directory the theme is in. When an incorrect submission is made (e.g., no comments), the default wp-comment-post page displays with the error. The main issue is not the folder location but the look/feel. I’d like to have all the pages look the same ??

    How I’ve set up the blog so far:

    You can check it out at andykenney.com.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • 1. The error message looks at it looks – you cannot change it.
    2. If you followed the tutorial from the Codex – you shouldn’t need to go into the database!
    3. Now your blog is there and working. What should we check?

    Response to (1): I don’t want to change the error message, but I do want to change the page look the message displays on (wp-comments-post.php). Are you saying that is not possible?

    Response to (2): The DB check was because I wanted to see if I could change the {siteurl} and it would direct to the wp-comments-post.php page in my theme’s directory. It was not related to the tutorial, I just mentioned that so you’d know my blog architecture.

    Resonse to 3: The blog always worked, it’s only the comments form posting to wp-comments-post.php in the wordpress directory that I want to change. It is working properly, but the wp-comments-post.php look/feel is not the same as my theme’s and that’s what I want to change.

    Thanks again ??

    and that’s what I want to change.

    Unless you re-write some WP core files… i won’t happen. You are not the first one complaining about it and, probably, not the last one either.

    And as an advice: never play with those two URI values in the DB thinking you can “solve” an unrelated problem.

    And finally, hopefully your visitors are not “idiots” and they can read and understand what a mandatory field is. If they fill them out – they will never see the error page ??

    How did you fix this?
