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 http://expecting.theukedge.com/%5ehttp:/xx.xx.xx.xx/, 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!

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.

OK, I figured it out. 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:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*doitwithwp.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]Posted 6 months ago #

Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
