I've found something out about responding to comments!!
-
I’ve noticed that in the new notifications, I can respond just fine to comments until all of a sudden I’m trying to respond to a comment and it fails. It won’t post. (I’ve submitted screenshots of this before to you on this.) What I realized that it always has a problem with people who’ve left comments on the photo itself rather than on my main blog page. If you click on the photo, you can leave comments underneath that and that’s when it all starts. After that I can’t respond to anyone via the new notifications format.
I’ve asked if I can delete this ability for people to leave comments on each photo but it’s a pain and I don’t want to deal with it everytime I make a post. If there’s a way to disable it on the blog itself, then great. But I can’t manage this every single time.
I think something needs to be fixed here. It’s 100% a problem.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Laura,
Aha! Good sleuthing.This is a comments on attachment pages issue.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to do this globally.

P.S. When it comes to image issues it’s justjennifer’s tips in our support forum threads that are the best. She also has a great image related blog.

I cannot figure out how to disable the comments. I went to Media Library and clicked on one of my images. The only thing I can see is to uncheck Likes and Shares. I don’t see anywhere to disable comments. Can you please give me instructions? Tnx. :)

lauramackey, thanks so much for tracking down this issue! It turns out that there was indeed a small bug preventing the proper behavior in the new notifications, but that should be working now for you.
Specifically, you should be able to reply to comments left on your attachment pages from within the notifications themselves.
Nice pictures, by the way!
Since computer bugs tend to be complicated animals, please respond here and let us know if this doesn’t resolve your issue – there could still be something we missed.

Thank you about my pics. :) Just fyi, someone else responded about this in another thread somewhere. I had to change my discussion for each image so people can’t respond to them. The problem still seems to be out there.

lauramacky, I should have been clearer on what bug was whacked and what wasn’t. I did not add the ability to disable comments across the board for images and other media.
However, hopefully the changes should now allow you to reply to comments people leave on your images.
When you say that the problem still seems to be out there, do you mean that you still can’t reply to those comments, or that you still want to be able to disable comments on all media pages with one switch but can’t?
Thanks for your persistence!
