I had to replace the top piece of my comments.php file:
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie?>
<?php
return;
}
}
?>
with
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<p class="nocomments">Please enter password to view comments</p>
<?php
return;
}
?>
This is what worked for me, anyway! ??
