    People want to comment on my blog but are being asked to enter a password i.e. to join wordpress. I can’t find the answer to this question: How can someone just leave a comment to my blog?

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

    You can allow only registered WordPress.com users to comment, or you can allow anyone to comment. If you allow anyone to comment, you can choose whether the name and email fields are required or not.

    Thanks, galois, but that hasn’t solved the issue. My wife has tried sending a comment from her Apple desktop and from her iPad but although she fills in her e-mail address and her name but leaves the website box blank, she keeps getting a message:
    ” You are being asked to log in because (e-mail address) is used by an account you are not logged into now.”

    I had already changed my settings to allow anyone to comment but to leave a name and e-mail.
