Problem with newest Fixed (Ryan) Build- No registration form for Comments?

  • I installed this build:

    https://static.www.ads-software.com/builds/wordpress-2006-01-01.tar.gz

    here:

    https://politicalvine.com/politicalrumors/

    And the permalinks are GORGEOUS! But there are still a couple little problems. The biggest– Please try to comment on this blog. Yeah, I know, you can’t. There’s nothing wrong with the template, the program just doesn’t generate the form no matter what’s set in admin. It acts like there’s a cookie already set, even if you’ve never been to this blog before.

    Also, I tried to trackback to this from a WP 1.5.x blog and nothing came through. If any of you could try to trackback and see if anything happens I’d appreciate it.

    Just what I said. Permalinks work wonderfully. Comments don’t seem to work. Trackbacks don’t seem to work.

    Some additional explanation– When this box is checked in Options/General “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” it doesn’t have a link to any registration form whatsoever, like 1.5.X used to.

    Unchecking that box does allow comments to work, but then there is no registration option, which is what the client wants.

    Well, that’s a bummer. Wonder what happened with THAT one?

    Addressing the registration issue…

    Maybe I’m being obtuse, but don’t you have to have the Options ->General, Membership: Anyone can register checked, before the Register link in the login dialogue is offered?

    Same goes for the wp_register tag.

    I had to check the “anyone can register” box because there was NO PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO REGISTER, so no one could register and then leave comments with the registration required box checked. When the registration required box was checked it said “you have to log in to post a comment” whether someone had registered or not- and since there was no WAY to register, it means that only those who were signed up through admin could post comments and only when logged in.

    Does that make sense now?

    I’ll look at(for) that tag, and thank you for that. My templates are based on Kubrick as a code basis, and I’ve had sites in the past that required registration that I didn’t have a problem with (though they were all running on 1.5.x). I suspect it’s there, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

    That is I would look up that tag in the codex IF IT WASN’T THROWING 500 SERVER ERRORS AGAIN! *sigh*

    Oh and I’d search for more info on the forum but we all know what THAT will get me now, don’t we?
