Comments posted by anonymous users are no longer being displayed after I migrated drupal to a new server. I am using a new theme, but they are not displaying in a core theme either. Only the comments of logged in (authorized) users are being shown. The comment count is correct and includes both anonymous and authorized users.

I have already done the following:

  1. In Permissions, checked access comments, post comments, post comments without approval for anonymous users
  2. In Content types, selected "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information"
  3. Checked the database and all recent anonymous UID are 0, so the comments are being entered into the database.
  4. Checked the Comments approval que, and it only comments listed of authorized users. Anonymous comments are nowhere to be found

This is driving me crazy! I've searched for an answer in the forum and can't find anything. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Can you find the row in the {users} table with uid=0? Usually first line. If not then go to the status report page (admin -> reports -> status) and it should "self-heal" ...

uid=0 is missing from the user's table! I inserted a new row and changed the uid to 0, and now anonymous posts are showing up. Thanks so much!!!

Do you have another row in there that has a blank entry for name and pass and mail? If so, what now happens when you visit the status report page?
