I see you are using WordPress 2.1, does your hosting provider support it? (PHP version 4.2 or greater, MySQL version 4.0 or greater)

Thanks for the suggestion Steve, but I don’t want to retrieve the comments with Ajax. I want them to be retrieved by PHP when the page is being created.

Add this to your themes style.css:

.posts h2 { text-align: center; }

I should have said, Firebug is a Firefox extension: https://getfirebug.com/.

I would suggest you install Firebug and see if anything shows up in the console. It might help narrow the problem area.

I had this problem on one of my blogs. I noticed that sometimes the comments worked and othertimes they didn’t. When the comment posting failed it went to a blank screen.

I discovered that if I turned off the Akismet plugin everything worked okay. I asked my hosting provider about why this was happening but they couldn’t provide me with an answer.

I’ve since changed hosting provider and I no longer have the problem.

I mailed the Akismet team about this problem but received no response.

I still have an account on my old hosting provider so I can test any suggestions people have to resolve the issue.

I haven’t seen this happen Rob-e, can you post an RSS snippet to demonstrate the problem.

The files in your theme need write permissions added, see https://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html for details on *nix permissions.

Can you just edit your theme to do this or do you have an idea for a plugin?

Can you explain how you resolved it? It will help others who encounter the same issue.

You’ve a left margin on the ‘commentlist’ OL.

You should install the IE DOM Explorer, you can select the element by click and you’ll see the style properties. The margin that is showing up for the OL is: auto auto auto 30pt.

So if you add ‘margin: 0;’ to your .commentlist selector it should align the way you want it to.

Has anyone had any ideas about the issue I’m having?

Yes on the main index page, so like the single post page but without the comment form.

Moshu, I edited my original post before you replied I think. If you re-read you’ll see my comments on the dropdown_cats function. I know I can do this myself with code changes but I think this would be a useful addition to the codebase.

to get an ordered list you need to use the following:
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&hide_empty=0’); ?>

previously the hide_empty arg wasn’t necessary.
