As per above, I’ve just stepped through the code and found the problem symptom in comments.php:
Line 70 comments.php
<?php if ( get_option(‘comment_registration’) && !$user_ID ) : ?>
You must be /wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>logged in to post a comment.
<?php else : ?>

As you can see above, the variable user_ID is the culprit (although I also took the redirect to the permalink in the login url below this code – it never allowed you to login and just threw you back to the permalink).

Even when someone goes and logs in, when they navigate back to a particular post, the user_ID variable is not set and as a result they could never post.

As a stop gap solution, I have edited out this code to allow for user comments.

All the best,

I’ve found this problem too – only with a slight twist.

Basically, at the bottom of the single post the statement:
“You must be logged in to post a comment” sits with “logged in” being a live URL.

In my instance I upgraded from 1.5.1 to 2.0.3 (the upgrade seemed to go smoothly – no errors at all).

However the “logged in” URL redirects back to the same post (i.e. no login is allowed – and hence no post).

I’ve since allowed people to post without providing a name and email (via Options) but the same behaviour is in evidence.

Any ideas?

All the best,
Tom
