I got an email yesterday from Regular Reader Kentucky saying he tried to leave a comment and only got an error message. Can’t help noticing that the newest comment on the blog is two days old and I was expecting more.
I have, of course, proven completely unequal to the task of tracking down any comment-related problem with WordPress. Everything has been updated, I swear. This is discouraging and tiresome.
So do me a favor, will you? If you have found yourself unable to leave comments on TUAK, don’t respond to this post. 🙁
Loud and clear!
I can’t comment from the reader or via the WordPress email subscription set anymore, but the website works fine. And those aren’t limited to TUAK, it won’t work on any of the WP blogs I follow, so I assume it’s a WP issue.
“No commnent”
I’ve not seen this message before, it is at the top of the page above the blog title. Hope it means something to someone:
Deprecated: Hook custom_css_loaded is deprecated since version jetpack-13.5! Use WordPress Custom CSS instead. Jetpack no longer supports Custom CSS. Read the WordPress.org documentation to learn how to apply custom styles to your site: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/styles-overview/#applying-custom-css in /home/joelsgul/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6078
Yeah, my fault. I made the mistake of accepting all the recommended updates and now the software doesn’t like something about my header or something. WordPress is pissing me off, but at least I’m comforted that the comments aren’t completely broken for everybody.
🙂
Giving it a try.
From the mountains in the NE ie behind enemy lines. Seems to work fine
OK from N AZ
So, did your ‘spy’ lizard move on, or were his little feet stuck to the new paint?
Testing, testing
Had not noticed any issues
From what I can tell, commenting on WP blogs is dependent upon the theme. Some places I can comment, others I can’t. Yeah, not much help, I know.
Trying again, different browser, different settings. Some WP blogs, I can comment on, others not. Makes me think it’s dependent on the template. Shrug.
Good evening, Joel. We’re here as usual.
All good here.
Looks fine from Montana
OK, buddy, you’re asking for it.
I doubt this will be all that helpful – but I do notice a difference now on the blog starting this eve when I dropped in.
It was about a year, maybe a year and a half ago when the comment form stopped loading when I’d drop by with javascript off and cookies disabled – prior to that I could comment with my usual browser settings. Since there wasn’t anything that I needed to comment on I didn’t bother changing my browser settings to see if the comment form would load.
So tonight the form is out there plain as day and I’m using my usual config of no javascript or cookies. So ~something’s~ different!
Now we’ll see if the comment will post…
A few months (or was it years?) ago, there was an issue with posts not posting at TUAK. Seem to recall it too was after one of those “oh so not helpful” updates. Yet here we are, plodding on.
Just trying again.
It occurs to me that on the previous attempts I was not presented with the format to fill out.
I’m a bit late replying to this one, but I was able to see other people’s comments, but apparently couldn’t post any of my own, and I didn’t get e-mailed updates of new comments either. Your new posts showed up in my e-mail just fine.
Looks like I wrote too soon. Looking at your actual site, there are plenty of posts that never made it to my in-box either:-(.
