• I am using a version that is not 2.7.1 for my blog and am having trouble with the comment settings. I want users to supply their email and name when posting a comment, which I checked in my settings. When I go to comment to test it, it supplies the fields, but it doesn’t list the field name. So there are 4 empty boxes and readers are not going to know what to fill in where (ie. email, name, website, etc.). I checked the html and I see that the field names are in there:

    <?php else : ?>

    <p><label for=”name”>Name <?php if ($req) echo “(required)”; ?></label>
    <input type=”text” name=”author” id=”name” value=”<?php echo $comment_author; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”1″ /></p>

    <p><label for=”email”>Email Address <?php if ($req) echo “(required)”; ?></label>
    <input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”2″ /></p>

    <p><label for=”url”>Website</label>
    <input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”50″ tabindex=”3″ /></p>

    <?php endif; ?>

    Any ideas?

    I just highlighted my fields and it appears that the text is there but may be white, so you can’t see it. Does anyone know where I can change the white text to black?

    You can usually change the “text-color” for comments in your CSS file.

    Without your blog address and with only the code above I am unable to give a more specific answer.

    BTW, being curious, what is stopping you from upgrading to the current WordPress version?
