Title: Comments help Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Comments help * Resolved [blackmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackmail/) * (@blackmail) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-help-4/) * I installed the qwilm theme a little while ago, and since I installed it, comments don’t work properly. The comment form will appear and can be used once, and then they disappear. [For an example of what I’m talking about look [here](http://blackmailismylife.com/blog/?p=220).] * Any suggestions as to what might’ve gone wrong? I don’t know enough php to figure it out, and other postings I’ve found on the qwilm theme haven’t been helpful. * Thanks.

What happens if you switch to another theme, like default or classic? Does the error persist? * Thread Starter [blackmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackmail/) * (@blackmail) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-help-4/#post-479931) * it doesn’t. it’s peculiar to this one. i’d had no problem in the past. is there anything else it could be? * Thread Starter [blackmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackmail/) * (@blackmail) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-help-4/#post-479932) * could it be responding strangely to akismet? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-help-4/#post-479933) * _i’d had no problem in the past._ * Hmm. Did you do anything special (=new plugin, modify code) in between? Did your host, eventually, change/upgrade something on their end? * Thread Starter [blackmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackmail/) * (@blackmail) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-help-4/#post-479934) * nope, which is all the more frustrating. i’ve deactivated my plug-ins to no avail. what might’ve the host done that i could investigate?
