K2-lite: Logged in as .
-
Hello,
I opened a new blog, less than an hour ago, and activated the K2-lite theme. It seems to work fine, but it does not seem to let users log in.
When trying to reply to a comment (at e.g. http://blog.soczol.cc/2008/07/27/upgrading-the-stats-systems/) – it says:
“Logged in as . Logout »”
.. when you are not logged in.
I am allowing and do want to allow, users to reply without having to log in. But if users want to log in, that should obviously also be possible.
Did I misconfigure something or do something wrong?

You need to go to Settings->General and check the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”
The users will need to create a WordPress.com account at http://wordpress.com/signup/ in order to login.
-
Thanks. But, as I said – I do not want users to go through the hassle of creating yet another account, just to reply to the blog. Hence I want unregistered users to be able to reply – but registered users still need to have the possibility to login. Is there really no other way to fix this?
-
Oh, and enabling this setting seems to have no effect btw. I enabled it now, and still get the “Logged in as . Logout »” at the comment form, as a non-registered/not logged in user.
-
I’m sorry, I misread the request. You will need to uncheck that box if you want users to be able to leave comments while not logged in.
I have unchecked the option on your blog and here is what I see when logged out of WordPress.com:

Hi, that looks strange? If you unchecked it, it should not have required you to log in? :) Anyways – I’m still in the situation, when logged out:

If you don’t want to require users to login to comment, what you are seeing is as it should be while logged out.
-
Right, but as it is telling everyone that is not logged in, that they are logged in as ” ” (nothing) – there is no (easy) way to log in when you actually have an account?
E.g. I would go to my blog, not logged in, then I decide to comment, I can’t press any login link – I have to go to wordpress.com/some admin link to login. Sounds a bit clumsy.

If this is your first blog on WordPress, I think you may be misunderstanding the system. Everything is as is should be. When you are logged in, it just shows “logged in as” and the comment field whenever you visit the comment or contact form a WordPress blog. WordPress remembers your details, so you don’t have to enter them every time you want to comment on someone else’s blog (or follow up on the comments on your own blog). I am not sure why the message is still showing when you are not logged in, but I assume that is how the theme works. I get the same message when I switch my theme to K2-Lite.

Okay – trying this one more time:
If I am logged in everything is fine, and if I am not logged in, I can indeed write as an unregistered user, so that is fine too.
..but..
If I am not logged in, and I want to log in, to write under my username, there is no way to do so.
The theme claims you are logged in as ” ” – nobody, and only shows a logout link, while I would expect some login link to show up, allowing you to log in if you have an account, but not forcing you to create one.
-
I think I understand. But no, as far as I know, there is no way to log in at the comment field. WordPress doesn’t work that way. You have to go to the main wordpress.com website to log in.
-
Make sure the meta widget, which has a login link, is in your sidebar and all you would have to do is click on that link to log in and comment.
-
Thanks. Adding the Meta widget will solve it for now. Although it’s still some weird issue this theme seems to be having, I can live with it for now.
