Oh my goodness… it just worked!
I’m not sure what it was, but there are two possibilities:
- The internet connection- I relocated to a different internet connection, and issue may have been associated with that particular connection. I also tried a different computer and different browser at the old location, both resulting in the same issue.
- The server- I am developing on a shared server, and this limits the ability to reset the server and etc. Maybe this was the issue, I needed a refresh.
Also worth noting, maybe it is a combination of the two. Anyhow, I just wanted to post a follow-up and update. In the future, maybe someone will find this “vague diagnostic” useful.
Fingers uncrossed and getting ready to have a glass of wine…

Hey Community,
My Front Page comments are operating funny when assigning a static Page as the Front Page. When posting a comment the page doesn’t seem to enter the comment correctly.
Site:
http://colinschoice.org
Detailed description:
I’m developing a non-profit site, and I ran into several issues with comments on the home page in a custom template. I created a custom page template and assigned it to a page, title home page. Then, I set up that page as a static page through the admin>reading>front-page option. The page displayed fine as the homepage, but when I posted a comment, the page moved to the top of the page and displayed:
myurl/#comment-1
but the comment did not appear and the page did not move down to where the comment is located, and I had to manually refresh the page for the comment to appear. I have developed several custom pages similar with no problem. I did a slew of trouble shooting using the codes from the other sites and couldn’t find a solution. I found that the comment function works fine when using posts, but for some reason, it doesn’t work on Pages assigned to the Front Page. Finally, I went back to the default template (for testing), and I experienced the same issue when a page is set as the home page for the wordpress default, check for yourself:

(I may be editing this, so it might be changing)
Anyhow, I’ve been stuck for hours, and any help would be great!
Fingers crossed,
Orion
