Comments Have Poor Memory

I am having a problem with my comment forms not remembering name/email/website info even when the “Remember” box is checked. I know the cookie is being properly set with the correct info, but it is not populating the fields. What could be causing this issue? (I have checked this on Firefox on Mac OS X and Vista and Safari on OS X and found the same results each time.) Thanks for any help.

Edit: I should also note that, as far as I can recall, the only thing I’ve changed on the forms is the type styles.

Re: Comments Have Poor Memory

It’s hard to diagnose problems without a live URL ;).

Re: Comments Have Poor Memory

What’s this, I’ve got to provide some kind of helpful information? Where’s the magic wand???

I’m sorry. Actually, I just did something and the problem went away. I had the site URL in my prefs as “hoooey.com,” without the “www,” and when I changed the address to “www.hoooey.com” my comments forms started remembering who I was.

So that’s good, but now I’m wondering if there is some way to make it so users get remembered whether the address has the “www” or not — or does changing the site URL in prefs take care of that?

Re: Comments Have Poor Memory

Well, <txp:magic_wand /> is in the crockery branch unfortunately :).

For your second question, try no-www.org – use this in your .htaccess:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.hoooey\.com$ [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://hoooey.com/$1 [R=301,L]

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0
