How do I shut off the login requirement
-
When people wish to comment on my blog, after filling in the required boxes,,,email, name and url…they are asked to log in to continue. How can I eliminate the log in requirement?
Thanks

BTW…I have unchecked the box in my comment page under discussion to eliminate the requirement, but it is still there.

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

Unfortunately, if their email has ever been used for a WordPress.com account, they MUST sign in or they must use a different email.

Other comment settings
_Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
_Users must be registered and logged in to commentNote that the prompt will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required.
Frankly, there’s no way I would ever set up anonymous commenting on my blogs because I’m aware that:
the vast and overwhelming majority of all information on the internet is spam;
and that over 80% of the so-called comments submitted to free hosted wordpress.com blog every day are spam. -
