Cannot access comments in multisite

Rename the plugins and mu-plugins folder (easier than deleting and faster to revert later).

Also, does your theme have a functions.php file? You may want to flip to the default (twenty-ten) theme for now to see if that’s causing conflicts.

No, it’s not the theme, I changed themes, same problem. However, once I renamed the plugin directory, suddenly I could access the comments so I guess one of the plugins, even after deactivating them, was causing the issue. Now I just have to go through and test each plugin to find out what was causing the problem. I’ll start off with the list that Adrea gave first but since I’m not using that many plugins to begin with, hopefully it won’t be too hard to track down. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not a plugin I absolutely have to have…

Actually, it turned out to be IntenseDebate, I’ve tried re-installing it, re-importing comments, it just doesn’t work with a multi-site install, no matter how much they tell me it does. My next step is going to be throwing away years worth of comments and starting an entirely new account. Joy!

Can you export them from ID? I’ve heard more and more people having problems with it on multisite ??

I’m sure there’s a way. Maybe it’s time to go to another service since ID doesn’t seem to be working that well these days. Thanks everyone for all your help!

AHA! Yes you can!
