Unable to comment on WordPress sites

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have been using my WordPress identity for years. I had a short break, but came back to discover that my comments go to spam, and even when released by the blog owner do not publish.
    Help please.

  • Hi there,

    We have no control over whether or not your comments get published on individual sites. That is in complete control of the blog owner, so they decide whether or not to publish your comments.

    If you think your comments are being caught in spam you can contact Akismet support directly about that, but if your comments are not being published because individual site owners aren’t approving them, there’s nothing we can do about that.

    You can contact Akismet support here:

    Thank you. My comments are indeed being caught in Spam and even after the blog-owner released them they didn’t post.
    I will contact Askimet support a little later.

  • even after the blog-owner released them they didn’t post.

    Impossible. If the site owner marked the comments as not-spam, they will be published. They can’t do anything else as that’s what the unspam action does.

    So if they still don’t appear it means the site owner either deleted them, or manually marked them as not approved. That is the only way an unspammed comment still won’t be visible on the post.

    I am sorry, but that is what he told me. I have been following his blog for years and believe him.

  • In that case ask the blog owner to please comment here with a link to the post where you left the comments – that would indicate something is broken with comments on their site because that’s simply not how comments on WordPress.com work.
