    Twice today alone when I try to leave a comment on someone’s blog, I can’t. Why you ask? Because when I log into post the comment, the first time WordPress asked me again to log in keying in my password then taking me back to the blog site with no post of mine visible, awaiting moderation! GONE!!! – again. The 2nd time, different blog, after clicking on the WordPress logo at the bottom, it told me I was logged in as myself and could post my comment and when I clicked ‘Post Comment’ was taken to a page that said I had to be logged in to post!!!!!! and between these two, I was able to comment on another separate blog. This keeps happening is very, very frustrating. Any answers?

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

    We are unable to assist unless or until you post the URLs of the posts you tried to comment on. Please do that now, so we can determine what software they run on and where they are hosted.

    I also want to mention the fact that there are two types of wordpress so to speak, and your login is for WordPress.COM blog post commenting only. It is not for commenting on WordPress.ORG software installs.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins (passwords), features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Note also that we bloggers determine exactly what to require to be able comment on our blog posts. WordPress.ORG bloggers can require that you register either with their blog, or with wordpress.ORG in order to comment on their posts.
