If you’re seeing very recent comments, it’s the newer version. If you comment and then see your own comment right away, it’s definitely the newer version.

What a pain. I hope to get this solved before long.

Just now I tried to access the blog on my cell phone and got yesterday’s version. Even when I got rid of the old cached version and loaded the blog anew, it continued to happen. Then I turned the phone off and on again, and it still gave me yesterday’s version.

And then suddenly, with no warning and for no reason, it switched to the current version, with all comments intact.

That’s an improvement, but I’m going to have to get to the bottom of this and fix it so it works properly.

Hope this helps with someone recognizing the problem. FYI, I think the problem was existing for a period of time. I noticed the lack of comments but I thought it might be a stuck in moderation issue. Did WordPress change something in their comment process?

Good luck!

I checked via Kindle Fire and there was 2 comments listed, but again nothing showed. Refreshed and nothing came up.

For laughs, I’ll write a comment on the Kindle and I’ll hit send about the same time.

Thanks, but they were the first ones I contacted, and they claim it has nothing to do with them. We”ll see; I’ve still got a lot of angles to explore for a solution.

If your blog is on a shared service (don’t know the exact term for it), vs a dedicated server, then if one of the websites on that service is driving “excessive” traffic (could be their own spam problem, or denial of service), your website could be impacted.

Hosters should have the means to manage that, but who knows.

One potential area to look at, anyway.

If you haven’t already, might be worth contacting them.
