    Hi there!

    I’ve read a lot of threads regarding this problem, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. Here’s the problem:

    When I try to post a comment at my site, it goes to 404, and the comment isn’t posted. I use custom permalinks, and my .htaccess file is writable. I kind of have a feeling that it has something to do with the fact that all the WordPress files are in a sub-folder, and the index.php is in my site’s root. But the settings are correct.

    Does anyone know how to get my comments working?

  • and my .htaccess file is writable

    thats not the source of your trouble, but you dont want that world-writable, if it is.

    How is Chmod 666 for that?

    thats world writable. chmod 644 is the most that file ought to be.

    you ONLY change the permissions on that file when you are updating/changing your permalinks. the docs do say that.

    All right, sorry, hadn’t catched… So, do you know what might be wrong? I have other copies of WordPress running on the same server, but entirely in subfolders. Only this one has the problem with the comments… It goes to the address mysite.com/comment-page-/#comment- whenever I press Submit…

    not without looking at the site no. change your theme to the default one and see if that fixes it. if it does, your theme is fubar’d.

    It doesn’t change it. I even redownloaded Kubrick, but without any luck…

    You can see my site at stiern.com.

    your comment form is pointing to here:

    https://stiern.com/site/wp-comments-post.php

    thats the right place, assuming that file is there. is it?

    Thread Starter pshoeg

    (@pshoeg)

    Yes, the file is at that place… I also downloaded the file once again at reuploaded it…

    https://stiern.com/comment-page-/#comment-

    thats where you are being redirected to. thats because your comment ID isnt being captured.

    do you have any posts where I can actually see comments?

    I created one manually in the database, it’s at the top of the page now.

    well that wont work ..

    disable your plugins. see if that fixes it.

    Nope, still doesn’t do it…

    ok, last chance, what do your error logs say?

    Where do I see them?

    Having RSS comment issues as well. I can get RSS feeds for individual posts but not all comments. When I go to what is supposed to be my comments feed I get “Error 404- Not found”

    I disabled all plugins, but no luck.

    Help appreciated, thanks
