starting over from scratch - comments aren't displaying?
hi ~ i’ve used textpattern for a few years now, but my setup was pretty patched together using old plugins, wonky forms, and crazy complicated styling, so i decided to ditch the whole thing and start new.
i kept my database as it is, with the several hundred articles and hundreds of images intact but any deleting of forms, styles, pages, sections, etc. was down from the txp admin interface. so far things are looking ok – particularly categories are working for me, and they haven’t for a while now, so that’s exciting – except for one big exception: the comments aren’t displaying.
the comment form isn’t a problem – i can get new comments, i receive them in my email, can see them in the admin section, but they don’t display on the public site. what’s weirder is that the boxes where they should be displaying show up – like if i have six comments for a post, then i’ll have six empty little boxes. also, i get this message repeated a handful of times for each comment: ‘Warning: tag does not exist in /users/home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 983’.
i’m on textdrive, so i assume they have everything set up to run textpattern fine. my comments_display and all other comments forms are set to the default that came with the txp installation. it doesn’t change whether i have comments set to popup or nopopup. i’m really not sure what to do now. any help with this would be really great ~ thanks very much.

There’s a txp tag you are using that is unidentifiable. Best to look at your comment forms to see if there is a typo or something.

It might possible be that you are using the really old comment tags that have been renamed.
