  Hi mates,

  does anyone have encountered this issue?

  I’ve done some customization on theme’s comment form.
  I added a new textfield to it however it’s not saving

  this is the code I have in functions.php

  $custom = $_POST[‘custom’];
  add_comment_meta( $comment_id, ‘custom’, sanitize_text_field($custom[‘use_case’]), true )
  or update_comment_meta( $comment_id, ‘custom’, sanitize_text_field($custom[‘use_case’]), true );

  this is working in my self hosted wordpress but it’s not working here in wordpress.com, are there some sanitizing requirements in order for it to work?

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

  I’ve been able to solve the issue, I think there’s a problem on setting a unique to true, it’s now working after removing the boolean from the arguments

  add_comment_meta( $comment_id, ‘custom’, sanitize_text_field($custom[‘use_case’]) )
  or update_comment_meta( $comment_id, ‘custom’, sanitize_text_field($custom[‘use_case’]) );
