I changed the order of comment fields using the following code but someone on the same link has mentioned that this is not the best practice.

// comment form field order
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'remove_textarea' );
add_action( 'comment_form_top', 'add_textarea' );

function remove_textarea($defaults)
{
    $defaults['comment_field'] = '';
    return $defaults;
}

function add_textarea()
{
    echo '<p class="comment-form-comment"><textarea style="width:100%;" rows="8" id="comment" name="comment" aria-required="true" placeholder="Type your comment here..."></textarea></p>';
}

Any inputs?

Thanks for the link. I am looking for the same thing.

Thanks. That really helped.

I wish to add that at this point if I set the default theme then I am not getting a blank page anymore! But upon switching back to the current theme, the problem reappears!

All plugins are deactivated too, I even renamed the plugins folder and created a new empty folder and named it ‘plugins’ because at times even inactive plugins may create problems (so I heard).

I am also having the same problem.

When I save anything from admin or post a comment/post, I get a blank page. The comment/post gets posted alright though.

Things are fine on the default theme. But only when I change theme, the problem appears.

Only two days ago, things were fine. But I messed up my permalinks and started having this problem. Then I went back to an old database. But still I am having this problem.

@manchumara: that didn’t work for me! Actually defining the charset and collation will work for new installations only.

Anyways I solved this problem and forgot to update here. What I did was, I deleted the two lines

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ”);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

This is the easy workaround. The other lengthy solution is to convert your database character set. Details here https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Converting_Database_Character_Sets

No it was a manual upgrade. But yes, I changed the wp-config.php replacing the old one with the new. This I did to enable the secret key feature.

These are the lines in my wp-config.php

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

well i hav upgraded my akismet when i upgraded wordpress to 2.1. my akismet version is 2.

to explain myself further — an user should be able to login and upload his files and download files meant for him.

thanks a lot. problem solved.

ohh… the problem is fixed. my host had a problem with the mysql database. ??
