  HI! Totally new to WordPress so this may be an easy thing to fix…anyway… I keep getting comment notifications via email but once I go to my blog it says I have no comments! I know I have these comments because well of course the email but also my Facebook friends posted on my timeline that they commented on my blog.

  Please help!

  Thanks so much!

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

  I have the same issue. I am receiving comments by email. But they are not showing in my Pending. Any ideas anyone? And now I”m trying to get these comments on my blog, but I don’t know how to fix the original problem and I don’t know how to transfer these comments back to blog.

  They could be in the Spam file or in the Trash as well. Take a look there and see. If the comments are not in Pending they might be posted already.

  Note taht you can’t see comments from the front page of the blog. You have to go to the specific post page.

  Raincoaster thanks for the tip about comments not being on the front page of the blog, didn’t know that. Unfortunately the comments weren’t there either. Nor in Trash or Spam.

  I am now manually adding the comments I received by email into my blog post.

  I had added a ‘comment form’ to my blog post, I have since removed that. I think somehow that comment form messed things up.
