Anyone trying to post a coment gets the message below. * **Not Found** Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help. * I am trouble shooting. What should I look at first?

Also get WP updated to 3.7.1. * Thread Starter [curbside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/curbside/) * (@curbside) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369050) * I tried deactivating the plugins and that made no difference. I do not see a way to go to a default theme. Do you know what the default theme us? As it turns out I am running 3.7.1 but didn’t realize it. * Any more ideas? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369051) * The current default theme is twentythirteen.

For existing pages/posts, hover over the page name, then click Quick Edit and uncheck “Allow Comments.” * Thread Starter [curbside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/curbside/) * (@curbside) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369073) * I thought that it might be set for not allowing comments. I actually want comments. I can’t even comment myself. The error says page not found. Perhaps the file for that page is erased? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369074) * Possibly – please post a link to your site with twentythirteen theme active and no plugins. * Thread Starter [curbside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/curbside/) * (@curbside) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369086) * [http://curbsidejimmy.com/blog/](http://curbsidejimmy.com/blog/) * All plugins are deactivated. If you register, I can set you as an administrator for a while. * Twenty Ten is what I normally use for a theme. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369092) * Okay, so download a new copy of WP to your local computer and then using FTP or Cpanel, replace all files/folders **EXCEPT wp-content, wp-config and .htaccess**. Delete the old versions before uploading the new ones. * Thread Starter [curbside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/curbside/) * (@curbside) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369114) * What folders are wp-content and .htaccess in? I don’t see them in the main folder.

I saved the config file, deleated everything and then uploaded the old config file but it when I go to my blog, it starts from scratch trying to create a new one. * Is there a way tof fix this or is the site cooked and done with? * Thread Starter [curbside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/curbside/) * (@curbside) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-causes-error/#post-4369123) * I seem to have destroyed the site. I saved the config file before I did anything then upload it again but apparently it isn’t recognized and I get the start up menue again. * Can this be fixed or do I need to start over?

The safest way is to manually create the file. * Did you delete the wp-content folder? You shouldn’t have – * > replace all files/folders EXCEPT wp-content, wp-config and .htaccess * Where is your site hosted? Do you or they have a backup of the site?
