 * Hi All.
    I got up this morning to all of my comments missing. I did some reading
   here and tried the default theme and disabled all plugins, as was suggested in
   some posts. Even when I try to leave a comment, the page just hangs and does 
   nothing. I have no coding ability, I wouldn’t know where to start. [http://www.al-sucks.com](http://www.al-sucks.com)
   Any Ideas?

 * Maybe your wp_comments table is corrupted? If this is the case, you can login
   to your cpanel admin screen and repair the whole database.

 * I have no idea what that means.

 * Comments are stored inside a database file in your hosting server. Like many 
   other things, it can fails (corrupted). But you can repair them from cpanel if
   it is corrupted.
 * This was happening to me, when suddenly I lost all my posts. At first, I suspected
   that my blog had been hacked. But when, I manually query the database via phpMyAdmin,
   it tolds me that my wp_posts table is corrupted. Then, I repaired the whole database,
   and everything is back to normal.
 * I saw similar experience from your explanation above, so… I think it is not harmful
   to try the same steps to fix it.

 * I did the automatic database repair through yahoo site manager. The old comments
   are back but new ones still no longer work. I don’t know what to do.

 * Is there some way I can pay someone to fix this? I really don’t have the time
   or the skills and just want this up and running again.

 * If you want to hire someone, post a job here:

 * It looks like your blog is also having some redirection issues, which are preventing
   me from even accessing a post and could be related to your problem.
 * Try re-saving your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel.
   If WordPress cannot automatically edit the `.htaccess` file, it will provide 
   manual instructions after saving.

 * Oh My, that was it. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. The db repair
   got all my old comments back yesterday and re-saving the permalinks got everything
   running again. What could have caused it? I did update a couple of plugins but
   that was several days before this. Any ideas?

 * You’re welcome!
 * It’s hard to say what caused it without detailed logs, but I’m going to guess
   that it was one of the plugins you updated or installed recently.

 * Thanks again.
    I would have posted a link to macman but I know some people don’t
   care for the right wing slant. I did however post a thank you to both of you.
