MY blog https://9east71home.wordpress.com/ has issues with the comment form not working.

Also – this Help Center form should have a drop down list of my blogs, not just the flyingcuttlefish.

I also have a broken comments form on this blog:
https://lasinkhole.wordpress.com/

When you hit the Reply button the comment doesn’t go in and you get this awful message: ‘Never miss a beat!’ ask person’s e-mail address.

The same malfunction happens at this blog:
https://ysamok.wordpress.com/

WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: Yes

Also – your bot tells me to use plugin to clear the cache but I am not paying for plugins.

Google already gets free ads and data mining.

Please repair my blogs you broke.

Comments are an important feature as I use them for updating topics.

Hi there, fellow blogger here. I tried doing a test post in your comments section.

It looks like you have the defaults enabled, which requires either someone to be logged in to their own WordPress account or to provide a name and email address before they can post a comment.

You can change the requirements in your WordPress Dashboard. In the Settings menu, click on Discussion and scroll down to the Comments section.

You can toggle off some of these settings to make it easier for people to post without identifying themselves if privacy is a concern for your reader base.

These settings can also be helpfully adjusted if you are getting hit with SPAM comments. I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot, Park Dan –

I know about Settings and mine were not changed. And now, e4ven I cannot post comments. And I am a previous user.

See –

Beats me how this page behavior could change so much.

I think I know the problem. This issue affects many WP blogs, not just mine.

On my broken blogs when I want to edit a post and I go to

/wp-admin/edit.php

a new squib shows up saying “Promote with Blaze”.

I feel this new feature broke the blog.

Blogger.com comment sign in also all screwed up. Maybe Google is just inept.

Hi @flyingcuttlefish, I think the dashboard banner isn’t really related, but we did indeed have a bug with the new comments recently that’s been resolved. Are you still having trouble?
