  Hello,

  I have been searching through your help section and can’t seem to find an answer to my question.

  it seems that somehow I have a blog that only allows comments if the person who is commenting is a member of wordpress. How do I change this?

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

  Hi there. Go to Settings ->Discussion in the dashboard to change this. You can see the different options here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/who-can-comment/

  I would advise you to keep at least the email and username requirement, as completely opening up your comments for anyone will make it much easier for spammers to post comments to your site.
