 * Hi, I have a problem whereby every time a comment is added the page refreshes
   to the homepage and the comment isn’t added to the system.
    I have tried lots
   of different things like changing to the default theme, restoring permalinks 
   to default but nothing seems to work…any ideas what could be causing this?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Have you tried disabling all plugins to check whether one (or more) of them is
   interfering?

 * Okay, thanks for posting the link. Have you done anything to your .htaccess file
   recently?
 * Look at the URL after submitting the comment form… it doesn’t just “refresh to
   the homepage”, it goes to the homepage with `^http:/118.209.141.72/` at the end.
   This could suggest an errant line in your .htaccess file.

 * Hi Cyril, sorry you are right I should have said. Yes I have, there are only 
   three plugins in the site so that was quite easy.

 * This is the htaccess file I use on all my sites so not sure why its shouldn’t
   work this time…unless you can spot anything Cyril?
