I’m still having problems with the recent comments widget; I’ve been getting the “There are no public comments available to display” message. I can see comments only when I’m signed in.

My blog is http://thepracticalpsychosomaticist.com/

Thanks for working on it.

The list with recent comments is only shown on my own blogs and when I’m logged in at WordPress (which I normally don’t):
http://ximaar.wordpress.com

It seems to be another facebook-stalking-trick by which visitors are forced to be registered and logged-in so they can be followed and exploited by WordPress.com.

Hopefully I’m wrong and this problem will be solved soon.

It’s also affecting wordpress.org blogs. As a random example …

is everyone who uses the WP software affected then or is it sporadic? Kind of massively inconvenient anyhow.

I am still having the same problem. The widget says there are public comments when they can clearly be seen in the posts.

If I log in to my site then the widget displays them as before.

To worldpress, I never received a code. Plese send it to my e-mail address.I have blogged nearly 4 years on VMJ. Now with new computer my codename and e-mail changed.I get too much mail,medical and NYTimes etc. I do not need to overflow my mail and computer with your suggesions. Once you re-instate me I will see.
Sincerely yours

Why did you repeatedly ask for change of password. Even sent my e-mail, congrats that I am in. No change followed.This constant changing of password confuses not only bloggers but you too.

It isn’t resolved on vindicatemj.wordpress.com either. Comments are displayed only if I am logged in.

Although I can see the recent comments on my own blog, several readers have told me this morning they see none. So I guess it’s still unresolved on my blog too.

Rachelmcr,

I don’t know if this info will help or not. This problem reminds me a similar issue that happened a year ago. Somehow it relates to the theme. Comment widget is working for vindicatemj, but not for radtrad and meetntalk. And partial working for mine – INove theme.

MACMANX was the last engineer who fixed that problem. You might want to check with him.
