For some reason, on all posts done today (04/27/11) comments are being turned off. I keep trying to turn them on, but they won’t come on. I’ve checked the discussion settings, and they are set to allow comments. I specifically turn on the ‘allow comments’ button on each post, but no change. It seems some default ‘comments off’ setting has been activated, but I cannot find it. Please help!

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

I’m having the same problem, and have been pulling my hair out . . .or whats left of it. I hope someone at wordpress figures out what’s going on. I did contact Tech Support and await their wisdom.

Same problem here! I think I’ve added a few more gray hairs trying to figure it out. Apparently I’m not alone.

The WP team said they are working on it, just FYI. Please let me know if anyone finds out it’s been resolved! :)

ps I’m pulling my hair out too, I just spent a long time making a new post, and I had to delete it! But the Happiness Team got back to me fast, so hopefully it will be resolved fast!

I am having the same problem. I have a post ready to go but can get comments to turn back on. I don’t want to post if my readers aren’t able to discuss the post. When will this be resolved?

Quick edit fails to retain tick (to allow) after clicking ‘update’.

Adding my “Same problem here” :)

@emmiscafe – great advice! Worked for me, thanks! I wasn’t aware of this until I started receiving emails from friends telling me they can’t comment :)
