Thanks.

I've searched the past two days and I still nothing. I'll keep searching.

what version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the url?
what is your setting at dashboard->settings->discuessions

WP 3.0.1
www.secsportsblog.com

Thanks.

Ah, the comments are not CLOSED, you just can't comment.

try disabling all your plugins and see if there is a conflict

I'm sorry to sound like a beginner. Do you mean deactivate plugins?

Thanks for your help.

I deactivated all my plugins and you still can't leave a comment.

Ok, swap to the default theme for a bit and see if you can enter a comment.
If not try switching the permalinks to the default if the are set to anything else

I tried last night and this mornning in using the default theme and it didn't work. Then I tried other themes and they didn't work.

This isn't a theme problem them. I noticed that all links have the same issue.

Try setting the permalinks (dashboard->settings->permalinks) back to the default - it may be a problem in your htaccess file

Permalink > common settings - it was already marked default. I saved it anyway. Still nothing.

What do you have the the WordPress Address and Site Address fields in the WordPress General settings? If the URL for your site is http://www.secsportsblog.com and not http://www.secsportsblog.com/blog1 then you should have http://www.secsportsblog.com in both of these fields.

The only page I can get to is http://www.secsportsblog.com/blog1 no matter what I click on.

what is your settings at dashboard->settings->general for both
WordPress address (URL)
and
Site address (URL)

Has the site ever worked?

(I'll be gone for about 2 hrs)

I did have www.secsportsblog.com/blog1. I did change it to www.secsportsblog.com. After I saved it, now it reads 404 page not found. I can't even log in. Should I go to Network Solutions and repair blog?

All you have to do to "fix" this issue is login to your control panel, go to your database and change a couple of path statements back to including the blog1 at the end. If you are not sure about how to do this send me a PM.

I PM you. Please show me. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm having the same problem. I haven't made any changes but suddenly, nobody can comment. They could in the morning but by afternoon, poof! I've disabled all plugins and that didn't work. I've tried searching wordpress forums for help and have looked through here for help.....still can't find it. I've spent 2 days searching for how to fix this. Can anyone help?

I'm using:

Atahualpa 364
Wordpress 3.1.2
My site: www.mamapumpkin.com

1) what are the discussion settings (dashboard->settings->Discussion)?
2) on your latest post - is the 'Allow Comments' field checked?

Discussion settings: http://mamapumpkin.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php (sorry, I'm not sure if you're able to access that but how would I explain what those settings are?)

And yes, comments are allowed on every post.

Thank you for your time!

No I can't get to that page
also If I go to 'Before I was a Mom……..' I see the comment form

There is a comment form but if you try leaving a comment, nothing happens. *sob*

I just left a comment and it looked like it worked. You should see a draft comment that says test from forum.

did you change your permalinks?
did you add a plugin?
try disabling all your plugins

Hi Juggledad,

I did go into permalinks after seeing a suggestion by Flynn but that didn't work and I no longer know what was originally there.

I haven't added any new plugins and I've disabled all plugins and people still can't make comments.

I did however find that I have 2 unknown administrators within my site! I've deleted them now.

Any more ideas?
