Contributor articles default to no comments allowed
-
I recently added new contributors, and their articles default to allowing no comments and no pingbacks. I can manually fix this, but it’s a pain. Contributors from before adding new ones do not have this issue.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s strange. I’ve never heard of it before. I tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

The contributors ought to be able to set each of their post to accept comments and pingbacks.

You’re welcome. Post again if you need help, as I have removed the tagging for Staff until we can confirm whether or not the contributors are setting their posts up to accept comments and pingbacks.

I ended up changing contributors to authors, which seems to have fixed the problem. They did not have the option to enable or disable comments, so I’m not sure why their posts defaulted to no comments. Thanks for the help!

I think Staff may need to know about this so I tagged this thread for a follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

I just ran a few tests by inviting another one of my accounts to be a contributor on a test blog. The contributor posts seem to follow the Discussion settings and Sharing settings set globally for the blog so I’m not sure what could have happened here.

The same thing is happening again now, even with the new writers set to Author. I have to manually go in and change the comments settings on their posts.

Hi!
The next time a contributor submits a post, could you let me know the title so I can take a look? If possible, I’d like to take a peek before you manually switch back the comments.
