  Okay, my comments appear to be closed on my blog. I haven’t disabled them or anything and have read other responses to similar queries. Been into Settings-Discussion and it’s reading (ticked) that anyone can post a comment on a new blog so I don’t understand problem.

  blog is https://bashfulbadgersblog.wordpress.com/

  Thanks

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

  Thanks, timethief. I’ve checked the default settings and all seem to be okay. Ticked to allow people to comment on new posts; no time limit as to when they can comment on older posts. Also looked at the support doc. But all registering as enabled. Just a bit confused. Let me check my site again in case it was a glitch.

  Okay, it only seem to be on my latest post. I have a fair few pingbacks on it so could it be that that’s adversely affecting the comment facility?
