wp-comments-post.php 405 Error Code

  • I have no idea why, but google webmaster tools told me that the page wp-comments-post.php had an error so I looked into it. When I go to that page, it says that there is an HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed and
    Most likely cause:
    ?The website has a programming error.

    My blog is https://www.holleewoodhair.com

    I ran this blog on wordpress.com for about 3 years and moved it to www.ads-software.com in January of this year. I am by no means an expert with the programming side of things, but if there is something that I need to change in some code somewhere, please be specific and tell me what and where to change it. I also wonder if this is a theme issue? I can contact the company I purchased my theme from if that is the case.

    A little more backstory: I have noticed the amount of comments I received declined since moving to www.ads-software.com, but I have received a few recently. I was originally using a plugin that was supposed to block spam comments, and realized that it was blocking all comments so I have disabled/deleted that (but is it possible that this has permanently dmaged my wp-comments-post.php file?). Now I am using Aksimet or whatever to block spam.

    Please help! I am so lost and I can’t find much info from google.

    Also, I host my blog on the bluehost wordpress package. I don’t know if something there could be blocking anything??

    @omfgholleewood: That file isn’t meant to be accessed directly in your browser in the first place, so that’s probably why you’re seeing an error when you try to do that.

    What would matter more here is whether or not people can actually post comments on your site; and I just submitted a test comment there with no problem.

    So it seems like the file is working correctly as long as it’s being accessed in the proper way (i.e., via the comments form submission).

    Thank you so so much! Should I just try to get google to not index it then?
