  Even though i’m logged in i can’t comment on other blogs.

  Using FF, cookies are all ok (checked with https://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/ )

  Please help!

  Hi there. Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? Having cookies enabled is necessary, but even then cookies can expire or get corrupted, and then they no longer work as they should. Deleting cookies usually fixes that. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  Are you having this problem on all blogs or only some? What happens if you try to comment on your own blog?

  Try a different browser and/or a different computer.

  @kokkieh: I have. No, i don’t have this problem on other blogs i visit, because i normally don’t visit wordpress blogs.
  I don’t comment on my own blog because i don’t have one.

  @fstat: I can’t and i won’t.

  Please, could an actual staff member help my resolve the problem?

  No, i don’t have this problem on other blogs i visit, because i normally don’t visit wordpress blogs.

  Even though i’m logged in i can’t comment on other blogs.

  These two statements appear to be contradicting each other. On which blogs can’t you comment? If “other” doesn’t refer to blogs other than your own, then other to what? If you don’t visit other blogs, then why does it bother you that you can’t comment on them?

  I don’t comment on my own blog because i don’t have one.

  What about http://calebtheheretic.wordpress.com/ that is linked to your username?

  Please, could an actual staff member help my resolve the problem?

  This is a peer support forum, which means the first level of support comes from other users who volunteer in this forum.

  I’ve tagged this for staff.

  Hi there,

  Can you please share a link to one of the blog you’ve had trouble commenting on? That way I can take a closer look at it for you.

  Also, what happens when you try to leave a comment there? If you get a specific error message, please copy and paste it in your reply here.

  Some users can’t comment on my blog https://jshaffner.wordpress.com/ It requires them to log in to wordpress, even though they leave their name and email address as required. Please tell me how to fix this problem, thanks!

  Hi jshaffner,

  Please start a new forum thread with your question, so it doesn’t get mixed up with the question in this forum thread. Thanks!
