Anonymous Comments noworking properly
-
I cannot seem to get anoynmous comments allowed on my site. I have the following options checked in my ‘discussion’ page:
1 Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article
2 Allow link notifications from other Weblogs
3 Allow people to post comments on the articleE-mail me whenever:
4 Anyone posts a comment
5 A comment is held for moderationBefore a comment appears:
6 An administrator must always approve the comment
7 Comment author must fill out name and e-mail“Comment author must have a previously approved comment” is unchecked.
Should this not allow users to add comments to my blog without having to login or register?
-
Yes, it certainly should. Have you tried it yourself when you’re logged out? Try that and report back; it could well be that someone is confusing leaving an email with registering for WordPress. Stranger things have happened.
Nope, just tested it. It insists I register.
Check the discussion options on the Edit page, on the right-hand side. They might be set differently for some reason.

Thanks for checking for me.
I checked the Discussion options on the Edit page of a post and they are set to Allow comments and ping backs.
Anyone any other ideas?

# An administrator must always approve the comment
# Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
I see those both checked at the blog linked from your name. -
Not sure if I’m on the right track, but I want users to be able to leave comments without having to log in (they have to leave name and email) and I want to approve them first. At present it appears a visitor has to register and be logged in to leave a comment.

Dashboard -> Options scroll down to
Membership: ____ Users must be registered and logged in to comment (is this marked?) -
I think the phrase I’m looking for is “Couldn’t see the wood for the trees”. Thanks for the correct answer to my problem timethief.
