Hi Everyone!

I just found out that my comment box is not showing on my WordPress.org blog nakedineden.com/nakedinedenblog/

Hope it's okay to put my link here. Not spaming, just need some help. I've searched all the WP.org forums and there are lots people asking the same question but no answers.

NOTE: this is not a WordPress.COM blog but a WordPress.ORG blog.

If you need to see my comment.php let me know and I'll paste it here.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Robin

I wish I could help but I'm technologically stupid. Shhh... don't tell anyone I'm keeping it a secret. I'll help to bump it up through the day though. Someone has to know something.

  Oh you sweetie, thanks my "Shiley" friend. I appreciate if you can let anyone know. I have to get this fixed as I'm getting swamped with emails: "Why can't I leave a comment?" and so forth. Bummer.
  
  The weird thing is that I didn't touch anything on the page and it was working two days ago. Argggh LOL!

  I have posts that state service not available maybe it's a bug with Internet Explorer?

  When you say you have post that sate "service not available" do you mean post of mine?
  
  If mine is it ONLY my recent post. Maybe there is some weird code in the HTML. I will check. I did once and couldn't see any, but then I don't REALLY know what I'm looking for.
  
  Weird too is that is worked two days ago (last comment came in that day) and I've not touched the page.

  Some daaaaay over the rainbow!!!
  Thanks Shirley.
  
  I've tried everything and nothing works. So weird. I've set it so people don't have to register to comment. I've checked for weird code and found none. I've checked WP forums so answers there. I can't believe a whole day spent trying to sort this out. But I couldn't have better company.

  Lol! I guess it's just one of those days. I think we're old news. I've been getting nothing too when I start a thread. Maybe I should stop putting garlic on my spaghetti.

Oh my. I just saw this. Give me a few minutes to do some checking.
(1) What's your operating system?
(2) Which browser & version of it are you using?
(3) Have you tried viewing the blog using a different browser?
(4) Which version of wordpress are you running? Have you recently updated?
(5) Has your security program been updated recently?
(6) What is the name of the theme you are using? Have you recently updated it? If so who is the theme designer and have you contacted the designer?
(7) Have you recently edited the CSS on your theme?
(8) Have you recently edited the HTML on your theme?
(9) Have you installed any new plugins and or embeds recently? Or have you updated any?

Now I'll go look at the blog.

  Do you see those question I asked? They are standard questions that one should always provide information about up front when asking for technical support (ahem ... lol )

  @TT to numbers 5 - 9 I would have to say, no.
  
  And yes, I tried viewing it in Internet Explorere. Will try a couple of others. Thanks TT. I learned something from you today.
  
  Wait, I did update my Virus protection program but I think it was before this happened. But am not completely sure.

  I learned that from you just today. I think the same principle should be used in Twitter. I tend to only post something once but may be ought to do it twice a day or 3 times to catch different groups of people. What do you think?

  When I get time there is a service that does that for you if you are sending a link to your blog it would be usefull. I've been packing in between bumping this thread and hubby will be on the computer soon.

@robin
I was pretty sure you would say that you had edited the CSS. Hmmmm ... may I have your permission to have a techy friend of mine check out your blog? Please drop an email address into my shoutbox (don't post it here) and I'll get him to contact you.

  Okay TT, Will drop it in your shout. I don't think I did edited the CSS, but I have added some widgets but that was a month ago. But anyway I will send you a shout. And thank you dear friend. I SO appreciate it AND I save your above list for next time. I always learn some thing with you. Hugs, Robin

Have you tired reinstalling the theme? And made sure you don't have the "must sign in to comment" turned on in wp 2.7.

The other choice is to just replace the comments php with a new one and see what happens.
