  I just found out that users cannot comment on my blog without logging in. After looking in the discussion settings of my WordPress account, I discovered that the box that says “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” is UNCHECKED. So that’s messed up and it doesn’t surprise me, considering how few comments I get on my blog. Can someone please explain how I can fix this so that people can easily comment on my blog posts?

  Thanks,
  Howell

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

  Literally hundreds of people have complained about this. As far as I know, there is no fix at the moment. WP.com changed something.

  This is my problem too! I have a giveaway going and people are trying to comment, but can’t. When is this going to be resolved??
