  People are asked to register to WordPress in order to leave a reply or start a blog. Is there a way for them to do this without registering?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In order to start a blog or be added to a site in one of the User roles (Editor, Author or Contributor), one needs to register.

  In order to comment on a site, it depends on how you have set up your discussion settings, but I would like to encourage you to require at least a name and email.

  See here for the full explanation on discussion settings: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/ and let us know if you need more help with this.

  @anthony sorry. Are you replying to @lowell or to me?

  Please read the Support doc I linked to and let me know whether “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” is checked or unchecked on your site’s discussion settings.

  I am away from my computer and will check back later.

  @lowell77jgt were you able to resolve this issue on your site? Please let me know if you need more help with this.

  @anthonytornambestamford please be careful when replying to forum threads not to link drop your site URL unless it is pertinent to the discussion. Your username is already linked to it. Thanks.
