***Third post today already about issues with WordPress.***
I am now receiving blog comments from followers who are shown as ‘Anonymous’.
WordPress is picking and choosing who and where I am allowed to leave a comment.
I have over 40 posts in my inbox from blogs I follow that I cannot comment on, though it is allowing ‘Likes’, for some reason.
These regular glitches are not acceptable to me, especially as I have a paid plan for blogging on WP.
I am refusing to get stressed about it, but I am also sick and tired of WP doing this stuff.
They have little regard for their bloggers and ‘customers’, and never bother to let us know when they are experiencing these issues, or messing around behind the scenes and creating problems.
A message to you all at WordPress. “NOT GOOD ENOUGH. DO BETTER!”
I haven’t had a problem that I’m aware of, and your posts and comments appear as they always do. How frustrating for you. Honestly, that one hundred dollar a year expense for the WP update has been fabulous, because I can live chat with them on anything and everything. And they stick with you till the problem is fixed.

I only pay £50 a year for the Personal Plan. But once I remembered that gave me access to live-chat, it did indeed sort things out very rapidly.
Best wishes, Pete.

When I got through to live chat today, Maranda, they did actually admit that the problems are at their end. It would be nice if they had put out a message telling us that!
Best wishes, Pete.

I’ve had these problems – not being able to comment -on one or the other blog once in a while, and I know at least one blogger had problems – for a while – to comment on mine. I never really did anything about it, and after a while, for no reason I know, everything worked fine. It is certainly annoying, but there’s hope for you get. Old Father Time will possibly fix it.

Thanks, Pit. Because I have had the paid Personal Plan for over a year now, I used the ‘live-chat’ to get it sorted. On a free plan, I can tolerate the odd glitch, but not when I am paying for the service.
Best wishes, Pete.

I am commenting but linking to your blog through the WP reader. It is only when I try from another browser that it asks me to logon.

I found the live-chat today, which come with my paid plan. That worked, and sorted things out in around 15 minutes.
(Once I had discovered how to access it)

🤔 Hmm. That is one strange glitch.
Since you are a WordPress Premium customer, you might as well lodge your complaint with the Happiness Engineers.
I do hope that your technical issue is sorted out in a timely manner.

Thanks, Renard. I finally found out how to access my ‘Live Chat’ on the paid plan. They sorted it out, and told me it was a fault at their end.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

I tried that on Sue’s blog this morning. Despite having all the details, it insisted on a verification code being sent to my phone. When I entered the code after 10 seconds, it said ‘Session expired, log in again’. I did that four times before giving up!
