Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
Thanks for your reply, @esmi.
– I deactivated all plugins. This allows me to post comments if I select the post from the “all posts” page, but comments cannot be posted nor read from the post itself (so only admins and editors could post and read comments, I think). If I try to read or post a comment from the post, I get again the “Oops! That page can’t be found.” page.
– Cannot decide which is the default theme. When I started the blog (one week ago) there were three themes to choose from. Now I went to the themes page again, found the same three themes, could not know which one was default.
– Tried PhpMyAdmin, but it says I must look for the active_plugins row in the option_name column, but there is not such a row, even if I activate again some plugins and refresh the PhpMyAdmin page.
– Tried FileZilla, but when adding my domain it shows the following:
Resolving address of mydomain.com
Status: Connecting to 108.167.181.69:21…
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message…
Response: 220———- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ———-

Response: 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity

– How can I access the folders to delete? Should I do that before downloading WordPress again? I am willing to start the blog again from scratch if it will solve the problem, but do not know how to do it.
I have looked at several forums, and nobody seems to have a similar problem. I have been stuck with this for three days by now.
I finally found the active_plugins row in the option_name column. It was set at a:0:{}, as required. I changed the value, then entered that one again, but it did not work.
After 4 days of managing files, reading all documentation, etc., I finally found which the problem was:
In the permalink section, I selected to put an additional word for a given category (the only one existing up to now).
For some reason, that upset everything: For visitors, posts could only be reached from the category widget, and comments could not be posted nor read.
Erasing that word fixed everything.

Comments are enabled for all posts.
If I access a post from the “all posts” page, it allows me to write the comment, but when I try to post it just a “You Lose! Good Day Sir!” notice appears in red font below the comments window.
If I try to leave a comment from the post itself, by clicking the “Leave a comment” option, it takes me to a page stating “Oops! That page can’t be found.”, and below: “It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?”
Does anybody knows how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
