  Hi!

  Is it possible to disable the Jetpack comments on my wordpress.com blog and use the regular comment form from my theme?

  Jetpack

  I need a comments form that shows all fields without clicking on the comment area and without any social login options. I don’t like the comments form that you force on all sites, no matter the theme in use.

  Some plugins work only with the regular comments form in themes, so that’s why I need it disabled:

  Thank you

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there!

  Most sites on WordPress.com use a shared environment, meaning that they all run the same software. This is great because it allows us to update millions of sites at the same time. It means we can fix bugs or offer new features very quickly, which is a win for you as users.

  However, running multiple sites on the same software can also be dangerous. If we aren’t careful, one site can be used to take down the entirety of WordPress.com. This is why we limit some of the things you can do with your site without upgrading to one of our paid plans. Installing plugins, installing themes, or disabling core WordPress.com features like the comment form are all things that require a Business or higher plan on your site.

  I hope that clarifies things! Let us know if you have any other questions.
