Comments Problem

Sorry I should have added the URL@ https://testsite.theparamountexpress.com/

??

Have you tried disabling all plugins to check whether one (or more) of them is interfering?

Okay, thanks for posting the link. Have you done anything to your .htaccess file recently?

Look at the URL after submitting the comment form… it doesn’t just “refresh to the homepage”, it goes to the homepage with ^http:/118.209.141.72/ at the end. This could suggest an errant line in your .htaccess file.

Hi Cyril, sorry you are right I should have said. Yes I have, there are only three plugins in the site so that was quite easy.

This is the htaccess file I use on all my sites so not sure why its shouldn’t work this time…unless you can spot anything Cyril?
