welcome

I figured it out, mostly. There’s a theme problem. If I have ‘live commenting’ enabled in my theme, the comments are not saved. I unchecked that option, and now they work.

ACK! Of course, thanks.

And thanks for kindly pointing out my unbelievably simple mistake!

Very much appreciated.

Resolved

Thanks whooami.

Since I have to be logged in as admin for the link to work, I made an admin login for testing purposes: username= test pw= test

Currently, permalinks are set to Date and name based: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

.htaccess reads:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /unwelcomeness/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /unwelcomeness/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

more info:

I followed instructions in a WordPress doc, which suggested that I delete the contents of my .htaccess file, and replace it with a blank file. Which I did, then the server made the site inaccessible for 12hrs, until the service provider took some weird code out of the file that had mysteriously appeared there, messing up my blog. Now the site’s back up, but still the link doesn’t work.

please help!

Thanks, very much appreciated.
