It was a rule in my htaccess file that was causing this. In an effort to block spam, I added a rule (below) to redirect people trying to access wp-comments-post.php directly back to themselves. I hadn't updated the rule to include this domain:</p> <p>RewriteEngine On<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*doitwithwp.com.* [OR]<br /> RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$<br /> RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L] </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-post-a-comment#post-85859 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:06:22 +0000 daclements 85859@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes, I only had 5 active plugins (none of them related to comments) and I just deactivated them all, emptied my caches and tried commenting again, but I encountered the same error. Not sure if this is a factor, but I'm on Multisite. Wouldn't think that that would be an issue, but I figured I'd mention it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-post-a-comment#post-85813 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 06:43:15 +0000 Dude 85813@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> Did you try to deactivate all third party plugins? Maybe a plugin hooks into the comments system and causes this error. </p> <p> Regards,<br /> Peter </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-post-a-comment#post-85749 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:18:12 +0000 daclements 85749@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I recently purchased the Sentence theme and I love it, but one of my readers just mentioned that she got an error when trying to post a comment. I tried it for myself, and had the same problem. When you click on submit comment, it tries to send me to <a href="http://expecting.theukedge.com/%5ehttp:/xx.xx.xx.xx/" rel="nofollow">http://expecting.theukedge.com/%5ehttp:/xx.xx.xx.xx/</a>, where xx.xx.xx.xx is my IP address... I'm baffled as to what would be causing this, but would really like this fixed ASAP! </p>
