Cannot View/Post Comments

  • I recently changed the directory of my WP from “https://dailymuse.zapto.org/folder” to “https://dailymuse.zapto.org”, and I’m having a few problems with comments. I followed the WP codex guide to “Moving Folders”, but I still cannot post or view comments – whenever I click on the “comments” button, it tries to load “/p=15#comments”, then immediately refreshes back to index.php.

    Some interesting tidbits:

    – If I copy the wordpress files back to the original directory, and set the original directory back up in Options–>General–>WordPress Address/Blog Address, it works fine again

    – If I copy the wordpress files to another (non-root) directory and set up the necessary folders in WordPress Address/Blog Address, it works fine

    – If I set the blog address to (URL)/index.php, it works fine…albeit with an ugly ”/index.php/” file behind it

    – If I try to set up permalinks, the problem remains.

    – If I choose the default theme, the problem remains

    – If I delete .htaccess, then update permalinks, the problem remains

    Lots & lots of thanks to anyone who can offer any help,
    – JB

  • I see you’re using XAMPP. I seem to recall that there are some challenges with getting XAMPP to use index.php by default, which explains why it works when you specifically include index.php in your permalink structure.

    I’ve never used XAMPP, so I don’t know how to fix this. I’m sure someone here does, though.
