Response to (1): I don’t want to change the error message, but I do want to change the page look the message displays on (wp-comments-post.php). Are you saying that is not possible?
Response to (2): The DB check was because I wanted to see if I could change the {siteurl} and it would direct to the wp-comments-post.php page in my theme’s directory. It was not related to the tutorial, I just mentioned that so you’d know my blog architecture.
Resonse to 3: The blog always worked, it’s only the comments form posting to wp-comments-post.php in the wordpress directory that I want to change. It is working properly, but the wp-comments-post.php look/feel is not the same as my theme’s and that’s what I want to change.
Thanks again ??
