  Trying to comment on Climate Etc., and, after logging in to WordPress repeatedly, get the message ‘must be logged in to comment’. I have no problem commenting on other WordPress blogs. I’ve searched forums and have had no luck.

  Thanks, Spalding Craft

  What is the exact URL of the post you wish to comment on?

  Know that wordpress.COM account logins and WordPress.ORG account logins are different.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Url = https://judithcurry.com/2017/06/04/paris-accord-qtiips/

  But any post for this blog has the same problem for me. I can access the blog through WordPress.com’s reader, but I can’t replay to comments by other bloggers.

  Climate Etc. is a WordPress.com blog. Has nothing to do with WordPress.org.

  Thanks for your input. Hope you can help me.
