I am using WordPress version 1.5 anyway.
When I click the “No Comments >>” I am getting the permlink that I configured but empty webpage. I am not getting the comments web form to publish comments. How do I fix this?
A link would really help at this point.
Your permalinks are incorrect.
Reset your permalinks to default and see if that helps.
what is the default? it was empty before.
I removed the permlinks. When I click the link it just returns to the initial website.
The problem is an issue with your host setup and that WordPress does not link directly to the index.php. In other words, this
http://www.vancng.com/mysharedthoughts/?p=6
does not work, but this
http://www.vancng.com/mysharedthoughts/index.php?p=6
Does. For a temporary solution (that is, until it’s dealt with in WordPress), try using this as your custom permalink:
/index.php?p=%post_id%
Thanks a lot! This works perfectly!
Kafkaesqui’s solution worked perfectly for me (using /index.php?p=%post_id% as structure permalink. But solving my problem with comments conflicts with category and archive links ( http://grendelsweb.com ).
It seems that finding a way to force “index.php” into the default expressions calling for comments, archives, categories would work, but I can’t figure out how/where to do that. For example, under monthly archives, instead of http://grendelsweb.com/?m=200501, it should be http://grendelsweb.com/index.php?m=200501. Comments links should be http://grendelsweb.com/index.php?p=6#comments rather than http://grendelsweb.com/?p=6#comments.
Any advice? I’ll strip the permalink mentioned above that solves my comments issue out, though, so you can see the default. Thank you so much for any guidance.
I was able to replicate the same problem with a fresh install of WP 1.5.
For me the problem revolved around changing the “Blog address (URI)” found under Options General. Perhaps these users did this? It would make sense as this would throw out the perma-link addresses.
Perhaps the wording of this option needs to be re thought?
Overall an excellent release and good on everybody for the quick support.
