  Since October I’ve been unable to comment on blogs I follow using my WP identity. I can click the “like” button and it shows up with my WP id, but when I hit “post comment” my comment just disappears. A close friend who also blogs on WP has the same problem.

  I didn’t change any settings, etc. I simply wasn’t able to comment anymore. Help please.

  Thanks,
  Susan

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

  Hi Susan,

  Can you tell me which blog you can’t comment on?

  I can’t comment on *any* wordpress blog using my WP identification. This includes all the blogs I follow and had previously been able to comment on as 3kids2cats1divorce.

  Would you mind it I tried making a test comment on one of my test blogs under your username? I haven’t heard of this issue with any of our other users recently so I’d like to test this out.

  How about you post the test blog link here and I’ll try to make a comment?

  Yes, I was able to post a comment there, but when I tried on a blog I follow it’s still a no-go. I tried on the WP blog MyAbandonedSelf.

  Hi there,

  No I was able to receive it as seen in my email:

  Just a note, many blog owners manually approve their comments to be publicized, so it may be that they decided not to publicize your comment. But, try there and I can publicize it to make sure your comments can be seen when they are approved.
