Trouble With Your Comments?

Don’t tear your hair just yet–we’re looking for a solution.

Some of us–well, not me, because I’m at the other end of this line and I don’t see what you see–have been complaining about WordPress not posting your comments. I have contacted WordPress about this and am waiting for an answer.

Meanwhile, Phoebe thinks she’s got it figured out. You should read her comment on yesterday’s post, “Kitten and Ducklings.” If she’s right, the comments in question are merely being subjected to a delay and will appear in two or three minutes after being posted.

Trust me, the last thing I want here is posting problems for my readers. I’ve sunk from 300+ views a day to only 200 or less–which I think has been caused by algorithms installed by Big Tech to suppress Christian and conservative sites. I don’t need a lot of technological bumbling added to the load.

So please bear with us. We’re trying to get it fixed.

Struggling Along

Getting Stuck in Quicksand - YouTube

My blog is broken, but still struggling along, trying to get out of the quicksand. Comments I approved yesterday were unapproved this morning so I had to approve them all over again. That’ll get old fast.

I’ll be forward readers’ complaints to the WordPress Happiness Engineers in hopes that they will finally solve the bleedin’ problem. I’ve spent hours on this already (this is not how books get written!) and expect another siege today. *Sigh*

Please be patient! Rest assured I want your comments posted! So far no one’s figured out what’s wrong.

 

The Comment Fiasco, Chapter 2

Frustration Jigsaw Puzzles | Fine Art America

All the pieces in this jigsaw puzzle have the same shape! I wonder if WordPress designed it.

If your comments are still getting blocked (*sigh!), I’m still working on the problem. Here is the latest word from WordPress.

It’s “required that the commenter be logged in, or fill in the name and email fields when leaving the comment. If any of these fields is empty, the comment won’t post and they’ll get the filling-out-all-fields error.” Then they turned off a setting, whatever that means.

If you’re still blocked, please email me “with as much detail as possible” so they can keep working on this problem.

Your comments are very important to me! Please stay with me, I’m doing all I can to straighten our this mess.

About Your Comments

Readers are miffed because it seems WordPress won’t let them post their comments. I spent practically the whole afternoon yesterday with the WP Happiness Engineers, trying to fix this. We thought we had… but were quickly proved wrong.

If it were all the readers all the time, a problem like that would be easily identified and put to rights. But when is anything easy? No–some readers have no problem at all. Some can’t get their comments up no matter what they do. A few are able to do it sometimes. There’s no pattern here!

You can hardly post comment that says “I can’t post a comment.” You could email me about it, and I could forward your email to the Engineers: that might help.

I’m miffed, too. I want to read your comments! I want us to enjoy fellowship and conversation! I just don’t know how to solve the problem. I mean, if it stumps “Unknowable,” what chance have I got?
