[1.5] wp-comments-post problem

    I’ve just managed to get 1.5 up and running. I had quite a few customisations from earlier versions, so I had to hack comments.php quite a bit to fit in with the new template tags before I could get comments to show at all. Now previous comments are showing fine, and the form appears, but when I hit submit, wp-comments-post loads but is completely blank. It doesn’t redirect, and has stopped loading, so nothing seems to be going on. When I go and look in the admin interface, my comment wasn’t added.

    In options it is set so that anyone can post a comment, but they must leave a name and email. Does anyone know what might be going on? I’ve deleted and re-uploaded the file in case it got munged during transfer, but that didn’t work.

    Thanks!

    Does this work with the un-hacked files?

    macmanx: I’ve just tried switching to the Kubrick theme, and the same thing happens, so it doesn’t look like it’s a problem with any of the .php files in the theme.

    I had some problems earlier which seemed to be caused by the contents of .htaccess, but I can’t think why that might be causing trouble in this case.

    Do you have any plugins enabled?

    Yes.

    amazoninfo.php

    Auto-Close Comments v 0.1

    Get Recent Comments v 0.8

    Search Hilite, 1.2

    Spam Karma, 1.18 alpha 3

    WP Statistics

    Stripe comments (my own hack)

    WordPress Hashcash v 1.5

    WP Plugin Manager

    Bingo! I just tried de-activating them all, and commenting works – yay! Now I’ll try turning them back on one by one to find out which is causing the problem. Thanks — should have thought of that myself 😉

    Congrats! I’d say it’s either HashCash or Spam Karma.

    I’ve reactivated Spam Karma, and that’s working fine, so it was definitely HashCash.

    Check your browser settings and make sure that you have javascript enabled. HashCash is working just fine for me, but it will display a blank page if javascript is disabled.
