Chiriqui Chatter Not Accepting Comments (Fixed)
Aug 2nd, 2007 by Don Ray
August 2, 2007 - My webhost has found the problem and as can be seen from the comment to this post is contacting the WordPress developers. Thanks to my Web host for all the hard work that they went through to diagnose this problem.
August 2, 2007 - My web host is researching the problem. I will be doing the same. Currently, the problem has not been resolved and comments are not being accepted
August 1, 2007 - I have had two readers send me an email and tell me that the site is not accepting comments. I will have to contact my web host and have them look for the problem. WordPress must be hosed.
I will update this post when the problem is solved.
it seems it started working and that the wp_redirect function is the cause of the problem… lets see what we can find about it by asking the #wordpress developers.
I suggest you use this for the moment until a wordpress update comes out.
For the record the only file i’ve modified is “wp-comments-post.php” and i have added the following lines at the end of the file in case someone else needs to work on this.
// CODE
// wp_redirect($location); // removed because it causes the blank page / page download error
// Nicolae.Socaci @ vistapages Hack
echo ‘<a href=’.$location.’>Redirecting… Please click this link if your browser does not redirect you.</a>’; // make the page output an error message about headers!.. ( required but i have no idea why!??!?! )
function redirect($url)
{
echo ‘<script language="JavaScript">parent.location="’.$url.’"</script>’ ;
}
redirect($location);
// Nicolae.Socaci @ vistapages Hack
// CODE
If this is ok with you i will leave it this way until we find a better way of dealing with it.

All appears well since Nicolae installed the hack. Hopefully all will remain well until WordPress comes out with their next update.
If you have a problem and your comment does not post, drop me an email and let me know.
