After upgrading to 2.1.4 beta, I was completely unable to add comments. I did’t receive any message, it just submitted the form and reloaded the page without adding the comment.

I reverted /system/expressionengine/modules/comment/mod.comment.php back to it’s 2.1.3 version, and I was able to add comments.

Hi, Trevor.

Tell us more about the site. Is it a local install, on a professionally managed server?

This was happening on my local build (powered by MAMP) and on the production site hosted with Webfaction.

I’m not at home right now, so I’m not sure on the version of PHP on my local build, but the production site is using PHP Version 5.2.11.

Hi, Trevor. I just posted 20 comments for a test on 2.1.4beta using the Agile Theme on a MAMP install..

Anything that I can provide to help debug?

This is my comment template:

{exp:comment:form entry_id="{embed:entry_id}" channel="{embed:channel}"}
    <h3>What do you have to say?</h3>
<p>    <ol class="forms"><br />
        <li><label for="name">Name</label><input type="text" class="required-field" value="{name}" id="name" name="name" /></li><br />
        <li><label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" class="required-field" value="{email}" id="email" name="email" /></li><br />
        <li><label for="url">Website</label><input type="text" value="{url}" id="url" name="url" /></li><br />
        <li><label for="comment">Comment</label><textarea id="comment" name="comment" class="required-field"></textarea></li><br />
        <li class="screen-reader"><label for="honeepot">Leave this field blank</label><input type="text" name="honeepot" id="honeepot" tabindex="999" /></li><br />
        <li class="inline"><input type="checkbox" value="yes" id="save_info" name="save_info" {save_info} /><label for="save_info">Can I save your info for additional comments?</label></li><br />
        <li class="inline"><input type="checkbox" value="yes" id="notify_me" name="notify_me" {notify_me} /><label for="notify_me">Can I notify you of follow-up comments?</label></li><br />
        <li class="buttons"><button type="submit">Add Your Comment →</button></li><br />
    </ol><br />
{/exp:comment:form}

Try simplifying your template - put the code directly in a single entry template outside of your exp:channel:entries loop. See if that makes a difference.

I grabbed the comment form from here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/comment/form.html

And I am still getting the same result on my local build.

Hi Trevor,

Did you try this on a template that is not embedded?

Cheers

Greg

Yep, the entire channel entries tag along with the comments and comment form are in one template now.

Trevor,

Yep, the entire channel entries tag along with the comments and comment form are in one template now.

And to confirm. The comment form is not nested in any other tag like the channel entries tag?
Can you disable your htaccess and try

If that fails can you quickly install another instance of the EE beta locally and this time install with the Agile Theme. Test comments there then please

The comment form is inside a channel entries tag. Is that not allowed? I disabled my htaccess and still had the same problem.

I was able to install another instance of the beta locally with the Agile Theme, and comments did post correctly.

Hi, Trevor. Take a look at the Agile theme, you’ll see that the comments form is *outside* the exp:channel:entries tag.

Is this something new with 2.1.4 though? I’ve had the comment form inside the exp:channel:entries tag going back to 1.6.8 and everything worked fine until this point.
