  I read your post on it and it said I wold find it under Settings: Discussions and it’s not there. I’ve looked through all the Settings possibilities and can’t find it. I’ve also tried Customize but it doesn’t work either.

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

  Hi there,

  You can change the “Leave a Comment” prompt under Settings > Discussion in the WP Admin dashboard. At the very bottom of that page, under “Comment Form,” you can enter a custom prompt.

  I see you’ve entered the prompt “What do you think?” in your settings there, so it looks like you found that setting. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that!

  There is no “Comment Form” at the bottom of the page.

  Hi there,

  I double-checked and made sure that setting appears at the bottom of the page, just above the Save Changes button: https://cloudup.com/cNU5wgcRQrp

  You can get to that settings page under Settings > Discussion in the WP Admin dashboard at this link:

  https://bhalsop.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  If you still aren’t able to see that setting on that page, please let me know so I can investigate that for you.

  The link you gave me is not the way it shows on my account. I can change it from your link but that is not the link I get.

  To clarify, the link I gave is to the Discussion Settings page in your WP Admin dashboard. If you start at https://wordpress.com/ you can get to that page in the WP Admin dashboard with these steps:

  1. Click on My Sites in the upper left
  2. Click on WP Admin in the left sidebar
  3. In the WP Admin dashboard, hover on Settings and click on Discussion in the settings sub-menu.

  That will take you to the same place I linked to — that settings page is a bit different from the page you can get to by clicking on Settings in the sidebar on the My Sites page. Sorry for the confusion!
