UPDATE: Note the WORDPRESS BUG code fix in post #14 you need this fixed and the comment.php in post #8
==================
Update: Grab the comment.zip in post#36 to fix this
==================

There is a bug in the comment code which causes the comment form not to show up after the first comment is made on a 'PAGE' page. To fix this bug do the following

Edit comment.php and find line 79-80 (versions 341/344) which should be

<?php // If comments are open
if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

and replace them with the following

<?php // If comments are open
if ( ('open' == $post->comment_status) 
OR ( is_page() and ('Yes' == $bfa_ata[comments_on_pages]) and ('open' == $post->comment_status) )) : ?>

save the file to the host and you should be all set.

Hi again Juggledad, thanks for the fix, works perfect... thanks again

Hi, thanks again for the fix on the comments form but now i want to know if there is any way for hidding the form on some pages where commenting is not allowed (example > http://www.shito-anime.net/?page_id=2324)

even knowing the comments are closed, the form still appears, i want to hide it..

thanks....

works for me too! Thanks!

I updated the fix so the form won't show when the comments are closed on the page - Thanks to Keikurono for spotting that!

Well I don't know about the original fix. But the updated fix does not work for me. Form is only shown on pages without any posts. On other pages people can use "reply" but the comment form only shows for pages without any comment.

I see I'd better go back to the drawing board and try
1) a page with no comments - comments open
2) a page with no comments - comments closed
3) a page with comments - comments open
4) a page with comments - comments closed

Update, use the attached file in post #36 instead of this one - checked for 3.4.1 -> 3.4.6
================================================== =====
ok, I think I have it. A link to the page was getting dropped when the actual comments were displayed. Please try the attached version of comments.php and let me know how it goes.
comments.zip

working again now. BTW is there an easy solution to put the comment field ABOVE the comments?
Even though I page my comments to 25 comments per page, newest on top, this still is a lotta text to find the comment box.

Using the new version, you could try this.

Take lines 85-181 and put them after line 20.

works for me... thanks again..

edit: ehh... i'm sorry for bother you again but i have found a new problem: the link "reply to" on specific comments on a page only appears in the first (or last, depending on the order).. meaning i can only reply to that comment but no the others, is ther a way to fix that?? (http://www.shito-anime.net/?page_id=2018 < the link says "responder")

Sorry, this was just a stab in the dark looking at the code for 30 seconds and giving a 'well maybe this will work'.

Wow, Keikurono you owe me a beer!

So I started looking at the issue of only being able to reply to the last comment for a PAGE and after many twists and turns, I ended up in the WordPress module 'comment-template.php' and may have discovered a bug (which I'm asking about on the WordPress Forums - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/3...1#post-1333439).

Anyway, to fix this, edit comment-template.php (it's in the wp-includes folder) and find the function
'get_comment_reply_link' (line 999 in version 2.8.6 -> 2.9.1)

Lines 1012-1013 are

	$comment = get_comment($comment);
	$post = get_post($post);

make the following change

	$comment = get_comment($comment);
	$post = get_post($comment->comment_post_ID);

This will always get the post (or page in our case) ID from the comment.

Hi,

Done the comments.zip and all seems to be OK , but when someone submits there typing there comes a error message telling :

Failed: enter tekst

Pls see url http://www.flyingfinish.eu/nl/?page_id=421


This is not only on pages now but on the complete site.

Thank you

it looks like you are using some javascript to handle thecomments. Are you using a plugin? fi so which and what happen it you disable the plugin

Well done, juggledad, I had the same problem.
I used the donate button for this job.

To Juggledad:

There are four files in comments.zip:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/attachm...8&d=1262189005

comment/.DS_Store - 7KB
comments.php - 6KB

_MACOSX/comment/.DS_Store - 1KB
_MACOSX/comment/comments.php - 1KB

I'm supposed to just replace -

wp-content/themes/atahualpa/comments.php - 6KB
w/
comments.php - 6KB

- right?

Or do I have to upload the other 3 files too?

Yeah, just the comments.php

I'm so confused -- all I know is I'm having the same problem -- I can't add comments to pages that already have comments.

I have ata 3.4.4 and WP 2.9.1. I replaced the short code with the longer code, and I uploaded the new comments.php file.

Now I can get comments on one page ( http://theadventurouswriter.com/blog...awlik-kienlen/ ) but not the other ( http://theadventurouswriter.com/blog...t-infertility/ )

Can you please give me the correct php file to upload? And, tell me what files to delete -- should I delete the comments-paged.php file (or some other file)?

Thanks for your help,
Laurie

Forget my comment and question -- I fixed it! I'd just done it in the wrong order, is all :-)

Cheers

Actually -- I fixed that my first blog -- got the comments going there.

But I can't fix it on my other blog that has atahualpa! That one has ata 3.4.4 and WP 2.9.1 . I followed the same steps that worked for my first blog, but those didn't work for this one. I even transfered the comment.php file from the first blog to this one, but didn't work...

How can I get the comments to go on this blog, too?

Thanks,
Laurie

do you have ATO->Style & configure COMMENTS->Allow comments on "Page" pages, too? set to YES
AND dashboard->pages->edit->one of the pages->discussion->Allow Comments. checked off?

Yes, I've checked those 2 things repeatedly, and just quadrupled-checked again...both are set to "yes" I want comments on pages.

I can't figure out why it works on my other blog, but not this one.

http://seejanesoar.theadventurouswri...awlik-kienlen/

Should I be deleting comments.php file, or one of the other comment files? I didn't for my first blog...

no, both are needed.
Is this blog on the same host?
does it have many widgets?
Do you have any security plugins?
