Just to clarify, are you trying to post a reply or comment to someone else’s site or blog post?
Thanks!

manju571,
I’m going to suggest something based off you attempting to comment or reply to comments on other blogs.
Some sites have moderated comments so this could be the reason why your comments on other peoples sites are not loading. If that’s the case, they often times need to approve your comment before it shows. It wouldn’t affect “liking” things, though!
Additionally, sometimes your comments could be caught as spam. If you head on over here, you can select “I think Akismet is catching my comments by mistake”, and reach out to them to see if that is the case!
Let me know if this helps,

You quoted my prewritten response found in other threads as though those were your words and not my words ie. there was no attribution! Read this support doc first WordPress.com Volunteers – Pre-written Answers at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-com-volunteers/ Then please create your own answers or simply post a backlink to mine. -

Hi everyone :)
manju571 – Can you tell me which site you’re trying to leave comments on? Let’s make sure it is hosted with WordPress.com.

Hello,
Quite often, but not all of the time, when I send a comment to someone’s WP post that I’ve seen while browsing other WP posts, my comment will not go through. I will type my comment again into the comment box and hit “submit” and it goes through but this red comment shows at the top left of my screen.Could not add a reply to this post!
And sure enough at the end of my comment there is no “reply” option. How can I fix this? It doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens enough to be annoying.

Hi Paul –
Could you share a few sites where this is happening to your comments?
It’s possible that the site owner has comment moderation enabled. In this case, they’d have to approve the comment before it is displayed publicly.
Please try clearing your browser cache with these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
If that doesn’t help then I will ask that you head over to https://akismet.com/contact/ . Type “comments” in to the search bar and you’ll see a form to complete.
