Hey folks. I have a strange problem that I haven't encountered before on any other drupal site I've built. On this one www.chelsealally.com the comments aren't showing up. They never have. It's weird because that site is an almost carbon copy of another I made and that one works fine. This site is running 6.13 core and as far as I can tell the permissions are all set perfect and everything is up to date. They don't show on the Bluemarine, Garland, or any other themes either. I am just out of ideas. Anyone have any others for me to try? I am using the Green N Black theme here but I don't think the theme is the problem...

Thanks in advance!

Did you force approval of the comments before posting? Take a look at the comments approval queue in the admin panel to see if they're there.

Queue is empty and the permissions are set anonymous can access, post, and post without approval.

Another fun fact I forgot to mention about the queue is even in published it shows nothing even though there are like 4 published according to the recent comments. Once is from me too and it acts like it publishes and then after it is posted you can't click it... This has been driving me crazy for days!

I have the same problem on a site with the French translation. I have reinstalled Drupal (6.13) only in English to no avail. Funny thing is that the comments are there when I look at the comment table in phpmyadmin. Old approved comments show up, but new comments waiting to be approved do not. Funny thing is that the comments do show up if I enable the recent comments block. Well, they show up on the block, I click, I am sent to the right article, but I cannot see any comment.

I have tried everything I can think about, even playing around with disabling modules.

This is a major pain.

I was having the same problem: Drupal knew about the comments in some contexts, but the comments didn't display on the relevant page. Following the advice in this thread fixed the problem for me.

The problem was that user 0 had been lost from the users table in the database. I went into PhpMyAdmin, went to the users table, and inserted a new row containing uid 0 but no other values. Problem solved. The comments show up normally again.
