  hi,

  The option to amend Comment Prompt is being phased out and that is why you don’t see it anymore.

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  hi,

  For now, there is no option to amend/remove the Comment Prompt.
  This means the Comment Prompt stays at what it is now for you.

  You may post a feature request at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas/ to reintroduce the feature to amend Comment Prompt.

  The comment prompt is being phased out for new accounts. The site listed above is six years old whilst this account you are using is only a week old. There must be another older account attached to that site that will still be able to modify the comment prompt.

  I transferred the ownership to the new account recently. Old account is now deleted and has no access to this website.

  If it was deleted less than 30 days ago an account can be restored by staff. But I’m not sure if restoring the account would treat it as a new account or if it would still have access to the old settings. To ask a staff member to confirm if that would work for you or not then add the word modlook to the tag box on the right.

  Close Your Account

  Yes, I just did that. Recovered my old account. Then sent an invite to be the admin. Now in settings -> discussion, the comment prompt is visible again. Issue resolved.

  Thank you all.
