Comments not posting to people's blogs
-
I’ve been trying to comment on other people’s posts, but when I click ‘post comment,’ their site reloads and my comment is not there. If I try to post the same comment again it tells me that I ‘already said that’. These are blogs I’ve been regularly commenting on for a long time, so I don’t see it being an Akismet problem or a moderation problem, though I have filled out an Akismet form. It’s like my comments are just posting to the ether.
This happens when I’m actually on the site of the blog on which I’m commenting, rather than on the WordPress Reader. If I try commenting using the WordPress Reader, it will look like the comment posted, but when I visit their site, the comment is gone.
This is happening not just on one blog, but all the blogs on which I regularly comment.
Please help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What are the URLs of these sites? We cannot assist you without them.
Note that you wordpress.com login information applies only to commenting on wordpress.COM sites with comments open. It does not apply to commenting on wordpress.ORG software installs.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

This is happening not just on one blog, but all the blogs on which I regularly comment.

Thanks for the quick response! Here are just a few of the URLS of blogs I try to comment on (it’s literally happening with all the blogs I follow, which is a ton, so I’ll post a few):
https://greenishbookshelf.com/
https://thesffbookshelf.wordpress.com/
https://theorangutanlibrarian.wordpress.com/
https://mysterydatewithabook.co.uk/
https://rosiereadstheworld.wordpress.com/I believe these are all WordPress.COM sites; I’ve never used WordPress.ORG before, but I’m aware there’s a difference.

The exact same thing is happening to me and alwaysbooking.wordpress.com Do you think the staff could help me out, too?

Hi there!
I see that you’ve been in touch via email. I’m going to close this thread and we can keep all of our communication in email.
@ribbonreviews – Please start a new thread. Adding the ‘modlook’ tag from the sidebar on the right will notify us that you need staff help.
