What’s going on with WordPress now?

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

What’s going on with WordPress now? Anyone else unable to comment directly on someone’s site? I can only comment via Reader. What the hell?

  1. I don’t have that one…but can I ask you one Nancy? I have had a ticket in for 2 months for this. You know when someone likes or comment on your blog? The little bell in the browser in the upper right hand side…mine doesn’t do a thing. I have to manually refresh my browser to get any alert on my computer. It used to do it automatically.

    1. That’s crazy, Max! I’ve never heard that one before but it doesn’t surprise me. I assume you’re getting your notifications without any trouble. I’d ask WP customer service; there’s probably a very easy fix, like clicking a box on your notification settings in your dashboard. By now I know their customer support email address by heart; it’s help@wordpress.com. Good luck!

      1. The only way I can get notifications is if I manually refresh my browser. In other words…your comment…it did not just pop in my paine on the right. I have to manully refresh…I usually chat with them.
        So your notifications are working fine? They automatically pop up?

    2. Sorry Nancy for two comments. Have you tried to use a different browser? If it does it in a different browser as well…it’s probably your account….if it works in the other browser…its probably the original browser.

  3. WordPress depends on AI. They will censor your post if it contains certain trigger words like M….r and such, it’s happened to me. I have that posting problem ever so often, it comes and goes. WP is getting as bad as FaceBook.

  6. I’ve had to juggle my comments for a while as with some I have to keep ‘signing in. I go through my reader though as I use a laptop, so probably not experiencing as much inconvenience as a lot of bloggers.

        1. Can’t say that I blame you. If you’re interested, they have a new system these days. You get an automated response to your inquiry so the answers are specific to the questions you ask. You don’t receive an email from a Happiness Engineer unless the automated response didn’t work and you need more help. I was annoyed the first time I got an automated response but my attitude immediately changed when I realized how helpful the info really was! If you need their customer service email, it’s help@wordpress.com. Good luck!

      1. I just heard back from the Happiness Engineer and he said, “Hi there! I understand your concerns about the comment section, thank you for bringing it up.

        There’s a known bug affecting this at the moment, and our team is already on it. They’ve identified the issue and are actively working on a fix, which should be deployed soon.

        We appreciate your patience, and I’ll be here if you have any other questions in the meantime.”

  18. Yes, and mine is one of them! I have no idea what it is, but it is only affecting some theme styles. I hope this doesn’t mean we are going to have to create new themes, because I sincerely do not know if I am up to that.
