Why can't I use my wordpress account to comment on a blog with domain mapping?

  I purchased http://www.theburnedhand.com for my wife and we upgraded her theburnedhand.wordpress.com account to use domain mapping. The mapping works great. The problem is that when I try to make a comment on one of her posts, logging in with my WordPress.com account, it takes the username and password and switches to “authorizing” and just hangs there indefinitely. Others have been able to comment, but I don’t think any of them are using wordpress accounts.

  Can you please make sure that you have both first and third-party cookies enabled?

  That did the trick. So who’s the third party in this case? GoDaddy? Just wondering.

  Technically, it’s us. Since you have a mapped domain, cookies from WordPress.com are considered third-party.
