  Lately, comments — even from people I recognize who previously used their names — are coming in as Anonymous. It’s very strange. What’s happening and how can I fix?

  Hi there,

  I understand how confusing it must be to see comments coming in as Anonymous, especially when they’re from people you recognize.

  This is happening because the comment settings on your site currently allow anyone to leave a comment without providing their name or email address.

  To adjust your settings, simply head over to your WordPress dashboard and go to Settings > Discussion > Comments. Here, you can modify the settings to suit your preferences, ensuring that commenters need to enter their name and email before they can leave a comment.

  For a more detailed guide on managing these settings, feel free to check this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/discussion-settings/#comments-settings

  If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re here to help.
