Post info and comment link not showing BE 3.1

[edwardcampbellprojects]

Hi. I have modified and deployed 3 BlogEngine v 3.1 blog sites for a government client. The reception of the sites has been very good. First I would like to thank you for all the work you have done to enable this kind of development.

My problem is that recently I attempted to port the second BE 3.1 site to a new user as a .net 4.5 web application. This involved only changes to Title text, users, roles and adherence to mandatory header and footer text. On my dev box the sites look and behave as I expect. When I create a web deploy package and upload the site to our test and production servers, the post information line and comment link are missing. Dev is on Windows 10/I5/16Gb with plenty of disk. Production is on Win Server 2012R2 under IIS 8.5. The setups are identical, to the best of my knowledge

I have studied PostViewBase.cs, PostView.ascx and Post.cs and still cannot find a way to force (worst case) the post info and edit/delete links to show.

If you have any idea or suggestion how I can force (worst case) or cajole the code into showing the Post links I need, anything you can reply with will be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Edward (Ted) Campbell
