Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

When I click on the 'submit' button after filling out a comment below a post, nothing happens. I have the "allow comments" checked to yes in wordpress. Where else could I look that would cause for the comments to not get posted?

The comments never show up in the "pending" section. I tried to post a comment, but when I click on the "share" button, nothing happens. The comment does not get posted. I was notified by a friend of mine who tried to post a comment, but it did not work. Some time ago I reconfigured the "submit" button text to "share". Could something have gone wrong in the process?

yup, you messed it up. you changed the '<input...>' parameter type="submit" to type="SHARE".

If you go to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_input.asp you will see that the type= parameter has certain values and 'SHARE' isn't one of them.

Thanks, so now how can I change it back into workable condition? I cannot remember anymore where I made the original change to "share". I looked all over the ATA theme options and could not find the place where that change can be made. And thanks a lot for looking into it.

I'd go look at the files on your server and look at the date modified. That should give you an indication of what file you changed. Oh, and taking good notes if you modify the code will make it easier to redo the change the next time the theme is updated.
