  No registration for like or comments. I have got all the boxes unchecked for registration in the discussion settings, but it keeps asking it

  Click the title of any post or the comment links and it will open on its own page. At the bottom you see the like button and the comment box. Example http://dasdanjammer.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/liefde-ii/

  This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.

  Other comment settings
  _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
  _Users must be registered and logged in to comment
  

  Note that the prompt will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required. You can post instructions for your visitors in a text widget if you wish. That’s easy to do. You copy and paste this into a text widget:

  Readers: Note that the email address and logging in prompts do appear for comments but providing an email address and logging in are not required.

  P.S. if you set up the blog for anonymous commenting then do be sure to set up full comment moderation ie. “An administrator must always approve the comment” because anonymous commenting is bound to increase the amount of spam your blog will receive.
