  Hi, I have a blog and a gravitar profile with WordPress.com, but when I try and leave a comment on a wordpress.org site it asks me to log on and they says I don’t exist. Do I have to set up 2 profiles for wordpress.com and wordpress.org?

  Hi @oyvargraael, is this happening just on one site?

  If you are logged into a WordPress.com account and the form seems to recognize that, they may only be allowing comments from people who are actually members of that individual site.

  You could test this by trying to comment on a different WordPress site, or send us a link so we can try a test comment.
