Can't comment on people's posts
-
Hi there !
I can’t comment on any blogs I usually comment on. If I am not logged in, I can comment, but as soon as I log in it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve tried commenting via Laptop and mobile phone. Can anybody help me out?
The blogs I have issues with are at least
https://hangingwithamanda.wordpress.com/
https://bookwindowcom.wordpress.com/
https://drizzleandhurricanebooks.wordpress.com/
https://alwaysbooking.wordpress.com/
https://tinyobsessions.wordpress.com/I haven’t tried any other blogs, yet.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you please try completely clearing your browser cache and cookies and see if that makes any difference? It could be that the cookie which tracks your login to WordPress.com isn’t working correctly, preventing you from commenting.
Also see if it makes a difference if you log in using a different browser, or in incognito/private mode.

Can you also please tell me exactly what happens if you try to comment. Does nothing happen if you submit the comment, or does it submit, but the comment doesn’t appear afterwards?

I cleared my cache and cookies in two browsers and my mobile phone, but it didn’t work. Two things happen to me when I want to comment on a post. I also tried to comment when I wasn’t logged in and that worked just find so it has to be a problem with my account I think.
First and most likely: I comment, click on the Post Comment button, the three little dots appear that indicat that the comment is being published. The page reloads but my comment is nowhere to be found. The comment count on the post is still as though I haven’t commented at all. But if I try to comment the exact same thing again, a window opens, telling me I already ‘said that’.
Second, not happening that much: I write a comment and click on the Post Comment button but nothing happens. I can click as much as I want, it won’t publish it. The site doesn’t reload.

It seems that three of my last comments from yesterday were in the spam (alwaysbooking.wordpress.com). Previous ones weren’t in the spam or elsewhere. The blogger double checked for me.

Okay, this happens sometimes. If you find your comments keep going to spam you’ll need to get in touch with Akismet support so they can investigate, but if the blogger marked your comments as Not Spam it shouldn’t keep happening.
You can reach Akismet support here:

Ok thanks!
This is happening now for abou two weeks so I think I’ll contact them right away. -
If it’s been going on for two weeks there might be a problem, yes. Akismet support will hopefully be able to help you.
