Comments not shown after upgrade

  • I have a problem with the comments: They are not shown in the overview after I upgraded from WP 1.5.2 to 2.5.1.

    For example the post ‘Leider kein Hoax: Entfernung Ihrer Webseite aus dem Google Index’ on my site https://www.smokinggun.de has one comment at the moment. But under the post it still says ‘Be the first to comment ?’. It should say ‘1 comment’ or something similar.

    The same in the post https://www.smokinggun.de/?p=377. If you scroll down you can see the comment, but above it, it says ‘No Responses to Leider kein Hoax: Entfernung Ihrer Webseite aus dem Google Index’.

    It’s not the theme. When I switch to the default or classic theme the problem is still there.

    I have these four plugins active at the moment: Feedburner, Linklift, Simple Recent Comments (I installed this one after I discovered my problem) and Spam Karma. I deactivated everyone of them and still had the issue.

    I did some more tests.

    When I add a second comment to the post, it will still not be shown.

    When I delete the second post, the first will be shown as “1 Comment” in the overview and as “1 Response” in the post.

    Really strange. Maybe a bug in WordPress 2.5.1? Or related to converting the database during the upgrade?

    Has nobody an idea? It’s a really nasty problem for me.

    I’m having this same problem. I upgraded from 2.3.2. I am told I have comments to approve, but nothing shows. I clean out the spam, and it still tells me I have comments to approve. If I leave a comment myself it ads 1 to be approved, but my comments (those to be approved and previous comments) are blank.

    I hope someone has some suggestions to solve the various comments problems. I’m running 2.5 and the comment posting is freaky. I’ve added 5 comments to a post, it says there are 5 comments posted, and yet only two are displayed.

    I deleted all 5 comments, the two that displayed are gone, yet it still says there are 5 comments. Very strange behavior, indeed.

    I solved my particular problem with the comments. I noticed all comments were appearing in the page source code but only the even numbered comments actually showed on the page. Weird. I also noticed the missing comments were classed as ‘alt’ in the source code. Probably for a styling reason, but I just wanted them to show on the page.

    In comments.php I made the following change in two places:

    I changed $oddcomment = ‘class=”alt” ‘; into $oddcomment = ‘ ‘;

    and that seems to have done the trick.
