Hello,

I want to report a possible bug/problem with the Twenty Twenty theme on WordPress.com that impacts the box for the Notify Me Of Follow-Up Replies Via Email option when you want to comment/reply to a post/comment where the box does not match the one below it and it not clickable like it is supposed to be.

The screenshot was taken in the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10 desktop on my blog (https://johnjronline.wordpress.com/).

Thank you,
-John Jr

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this, that might actually be a bug, or at least, it looks like that to me :). Especially if every setting for comments and notifications is correct – https://wordpress.com/me/notifications and https://wordpress.com/settings/discussion , as I checked on my site, with Twenty Twenty theme enabled.

The checkbox for “Notify me of new comments via email” is disabled with CSS property -webkit-appearance: none;
If your site is on at least Premium Plan, to enable this checkbox you can add this CSS code in your site admin > Customize > CSS:
```
#comment-form-subscribe input[type=checkbox] {
    -webkit-appearance: checkbox;
}
```
This should be only a temporary solution, since I’m not a part of official WordPress.com staff support, it would be the best if they check this issue.
I added a modlook tag so WordPress.com staff can look into it.

Cheers

@johnjronline, thanks for bringing this to our attention. It indeed is a bug and I have already reported it to our developers.

@alensirola69, thanks for the CSS workaround. It may be helpful for users on plan Premium and above.

Thank you @alensirola69, I only have a free WordPress.com account, but those who do have a paid account can benefit from your CSS suggestion.

Have a nice day,
-John Jr
