Comment link after upgrade

I think I know. Did you follow the https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Upgrade_1.2_to_1.5 advice concerning templates? Or rather, did you do step 5:

Replace this:
<?php include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-comments.php’); ?>
With this:
<?php comments_template(); ?>

I THINK that’s where you’ve gone wrong.

You thought correct Tom, yes I followed that procedure.

Any way of rectifying this?

TIA

How do you mean? Have you actually followed that step then?

Yeah, sorry, didn’t explain myself very good…

Followed that step to the letter, I now have a file in my carrot (who picked that!!) directory which WAS “wp-comments.php” and is now “comments.php”

Within my index.php I have the following….

<div class=”postcategory”>
<?php _e(“Posted in”); ?>: <?php the_category(‘,’) ?>  <b>|</b>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
<?php edit_post_link(); ?>
</div>
<!–<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>–> <?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>

It seems to me that it isn’t the <?php comments_template();?> but the <?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?> that’s causing the problem because that’s where the full url is not being generated.

copy the comments files (both) from the classic template and overwrite your file. I did that and poof, it worked!

I’m having the same problem.

In the default theme there is a “single.php” template to handle this issue, and it works fine.

In my imported index.php everything is together.

followed the codex steps for upgrading, replacing the tag (as described above)
But when i go to single post view, no comments, or comment form are present.

seems like an issue with the conditional phrase for displaying single posts.

but i am way too stupid to figure out how to fix it.

*frown*

Philpeeps, cheers for that, yes I agree 100% that works perfect, but obviously I now need to apply my original formatting to this version.

Not a huge task but I guess it’ll be worth it.

Cheers again, really appreciate it.

Roll on 1.5…… ??

To those of you who got this fix to work for you, are you allowing unregistered visitors to post comments? I can only post comments when I’m logged in, and I would rather not require registration from my visitors.

@dss: It’s not so difficult. Copy your index.php as page.php first and then look-up the different code you see in the Kubrick’s (default) page.php. Should work fine.

Found the fix!! Thanks Padre! ?? (I owe ya one sweetie!)

Read both of Lea’s post, as part of the first one is missing, but this fixed my comments problem!

You just owe me the satifaction of your WP working the way you want it… just pass it on.
