  People say they can’t comment on my posts or like them! Is that the case? Did I do something wrong setting up?

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

  Howdy Charlotte!

  It looks like you’re working with Denise in a private forum thread here as well:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/private-support/my-followers-cant-give-feedback?replies=2

  Let’s address the comments and Likes separately.

  Regarding comments, currently, you’re requiring readers to give their name and email address. You can see that here:

  https://hemmahosblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  Specifically, the line “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail.”

  So, anyone should be able to leave a comment provided they fill out the correct details. What error message are they receiving? Please note, comment sections only appear on individual post pages like this:

  http://hemmahosblog.com/2015/01/13/ar-ni-inne/

  Not your homepage here:

  http://hemmahosblog.com

  As for “Likes,” are you referring to this button here?

  http://d.pr/i/1lxhe

  That’s a WordPress.com-specific Like button. So, readers will need to be logged into WordPress.com to use that button. Currently, your Facebook Like button (for Facebook users) is hidden. You can unhide it by dragging it as shown here:

  http://d.pr/i/NSJ6

  That would be done on this page:

  https://hemmahosblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing

  Can you give that a try?

  Jeremey!
  One more question! Now that I posted something I of course want that new post to show up on Facebook! But, instead its one from a few days ago that shows in the news flow. Why! Can you help?!
  Thanks again!
  Charlotte

  Howdy Charlotte!

  See below:

  Is the post displaying on your actual profile page just not in the news feed or is it not displaying in either?
