  Is there a reason some comments appear from ‘Anonymous’ on my blog posts when those who leave them say they are logged in to WordPress?

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

  Hello!

  Thank you for reaching out! It seems like you currently don’t have a requirement for commenters to log in before leaving a comment:

  

  If you’d like to ensure that commenters provide their name and email address when leaving a comment, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Settings -> Discussion page.
  2. Check the option for “Comment author must fill out name and email.”
  3. Save the changes.

  With this setting enabled, anyone leaving a comment will need to provide their name and email address, which eliminates the possibility of anonymous comments.

  I hope this explanation helps clarify things for you! Let me know if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else.
