Comments not Published
-
When I comment one particular WP blog, my comment does not appear … plus it can’t be found in the owner’s Spam folder. Owner and I are trying to find a solution, but don’t know what to do. Suggestions.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Check out the comments settings. Go to your WP Admin -> Settings -> Discussion.
Comments may not be appearing for many reasons. For instance if the comment has any links, you need to have the option “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks) on new articles” selected. You also need to verify if the settings require the owner to approve the comment, or if any words have been specified for holding up the comments. I recommend that you check out all the settings available in this section. -
Carla & others,
Thanks for the reply. Comments had no links … the owner checked the settings (thus no issues), I am not on the host’s blacklist, and the comment doesn’t include any words that would set it off from other. My comments are vanishing … not on the post, not to pending, not into spam – that’s is gone. Others can post a comment on that blog, but not I … however, I have not experienced this issue elsewhere. In other words, I can submit “Mary had a little lamb” and it would not appear. -

Post the exact URL of that site here first please so we can ascertain where it is hosted and proceed from there.

We discovered the issue on this post http://adelectablelife.com/2015/08/26/friday-fictioneers-lunchtime/
As a test, I also entered comments on the About page – unsuccessful.

Please always confirm the actual URL of the actual site, post or page referred to before diving in and commenting. I never assume that anyone posting here is referring to a wordpress.COM blog as my over 9 years of experience answering question here at wordpress.COM reveals that about 30% of them are referring to wordpress.ORG installs. If we fail to confirm the URL up front and dive in and provide instructions that don’t apply to the actual sites in question the bloggers become frustrated and angry and we waste their time and ours. -

Thanks for posting the URL. The comments are open on that Page and if yours are not received then I suggest using the Akismet contact link.

Select this please _ think Akismet is catching my comments by mistake -
@timethief
Ok, I’ll consider that thanks. I thought the blog referred was “afrankangle.wordpress.com” but I’ll confirm that with more care in the future. -
@carladoria
I’ve made same assumption so many times and was wrong that I wanted to give you some help with avoiding it. I try to make everyone confirm the exact URL before I answer, but even then I have forgotten and missed doing that, and regretted it. I hope you have a good day and thanks so much for helping out on the forums. :) -

@afrankangle , I see your comment on the About page, for what it’s worth.
While I can’t speak to whether your other comments were caught by any filter (the Akismet team can help with that), the site owner may want to check their discussion settings to be sure they aren’t automatically discarding spam, and are instead putting it in a Spam folder for review.
