Comments not working - unknown_tag

I can’t get comments to work. Anyone have any idea what I have broken?

I don’t get option to comment blog posts and when I try to preview comment_form I get list of tag errors. It looks like every comment tag is broken:

tag_error <txp:comment_name_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_remember/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_email_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_web_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_message_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_preview/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_submit/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_name_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_remember/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_email_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_web_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_message_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_preview/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_submit/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_name_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_remember/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_email_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_web_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_message_input/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_preview/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag
tag_error <txp:comment_submit/> -> Textpattern Warning: unknown_tag

I’ve tried to compare this Textpattern installation on web server to my playground installation on virtual machine, but I can’t find what is wrong. I’m no expert, but database looks fine to me and so does comment.php and txp_discuss.php.

Re: Comments not working - unknown_tag

I don’t think comment_form can be previewed (like it says in the forms tab: “only article forms can be previewed”).
You have to set ‘Accept comments?’ to ‘yes’ (Admin > Preferences). On the same page, scroll down a bit and you will see ‘Automatically append comments to articles?’. To understand how this works you’d better read this FAQ first: Comment display confusion.

Re: Comments not working - unknown_tag

Ok, just that I did not get those error messages from my test installation on virtual machine.

I made pile of copies from my changes and installed Textpattern again. For now comments seem to be working. Maybe those errors were not part of the problem, but what ever was, it’s gone now. Thanks anyway.
