Good Morning,
I stumbled across this question while looking for something else and even though it is a few months old, it may be worth me saying how I approach this in case it helps others.

I use…

<?php if(is_admin()): ?>
     <!-- Stuff to show in admin -->
<?php else: >
     <!-- front end of site stuff -->
<?php endif; ?>

I usually use this if I’m loading in some sort of slider that is easier to manage in edit mode rather than preview mode so I put a message for the client to click across to edit mode.

Hope this helps`

Obvious really. Been a long day :p

Cheers for your reply it was enough to trigger my memory of the same problem a while back, which indeed was a backup with a dodgy file. Re-upped the core and it’s now all golden.

Muchos thanks!

I actually can’t remember off of the top of my head as it was quite a while back.

What i probably did was lock down all the permissions to the recommended WordPress settings. This is an interesting read regarding that matter https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_File_Permissions .

If this doesn’t solve the issue, then let me know here and i’ll see if i can get FTP access to that clients site back, and have a poke around for you.

Right. My mistake.
For some reason my clients hosting company decided to set everything to a nice open ‘777’ permissions. Once i dropped this down to a more preferable ‘755’ everything kicked in.

Great work fella.

Cheers for the reply, i’m pretty sure the code is inserted right.

My code looks like so…

<div id="comments">
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
				<p class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>
			</div><!-- #comments -->
<?php
		/* Stop the rest of comments.php from being processed,
		 * but don't kill the script entirely -- we still have
		 * to fully load the template.
		 */
		return;
	endif;
?>

<?php
	// You can start editing here -- including this comment!
?>
<ul id="SQ-socialbuttons">
<li><?php if(function_exists('twit_connect')){twit_connect();} ?></li>
<li><?php do_shortcode("[fb_login size='large' login_text='Logout' logout_text='Logout']"); ?></li>
</ul>
<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
			<h3 id="comments-title"><?php
			printf( _n( 'One Response to %2$s', '%1$s Responses to %2$s', get_comments_number(), 'twentyten' ),
			number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ), '<em>' . get_the_title() . '</em>' );
			?></h3>
...

I can’t spot anything immediately obviously wrong… or am i just being blind? Cheers for the help.
