I can't get any comments to show up in my wordpress blog. I completely deleted the theme (suffusion) and deactivated all the plugins, still comments didn't work. Harry from support helped me, below is what he did. However, when I tried again my wordpress I still can't get the comments to work.

Hello, I've gone ahead and removed all of your specific account information from this post as this is a public forum so you don't want to post private information such as your account name or any passwords of any kind. I took a look at your WordPress site, and it seems like you have quite a few issues going on that would be preventing you from leaving comments. Essentially your WordPress site isn't currently correctly configured, so when you try to leave a comment this is why it's failing due to the incorrect paths attempting to be used. It looks like you need to reset your WordPress Site URL and Home settings to match the correct location of your WordPress install. If your primary domain was example.com, you have it setup as http://example.com/CollectedHouse currently, and I see that you have a /CollectedHouse1 folder, but not that one it's currently set to use. You also have a wp-config.php file override that is setting your WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL settings to http://example.com/example.net Has this WordPress install functioned for you before, and you recently moved it to a new location? You might want to possibly think about starting with a fresh WordPress install and removing the current one to ensure you're starting from a correct setup. It also looks like your .htaccess file has this RewriteBase setting throwing things off:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /CollectedHouse1/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /CollectedHouse1/index.php [L]
So, as you try to hover over your Leave a reply link to leave a comment, you'll notice the URL in your browser at the bottom-left status bar looks like http://example.com/example.net/about/#respond Being that a fresh WordPress install on your account does successfully allow for comments, it seems like something has been mixed up for this install you're having problems with. - Jacob
