Commenting Glitch

Posted on October 2, 2020 by sheila

I am aware that many recent comments have vanished AND that people can’t leave a comment. Hell, I can’t leave a comment. You can see all the recent comments over in the right side-bar – they’re showing up there – and I can personally see all the comments that have “disappeared” in the dashboard, so they are, indeed, still there in the backend. WordPress did have a recent “upgrade” so I imagine that’s why this has happened. Very irritating. Working on it.

    I’m glad your comments are working again. For a time period earlier today (or it may have been last night), all of the images on your blog were gone as well. I don’t know if you happened to see that. Good ol’ WordPress and their “upgrades.” Battling them behind-the-scenes on my site, too. Might be time to crank out an old-school paper & ink newsletter and snailmail it. Oh wait, even that isn’t working so well… hmm…

      the photos too? weird! Dammit WordPress! Apparently it was some quick fix – Mark is amazing.

      I’ve been wanting to actually upgrade the lOOK of this joint – I love it but it’s pretty 2008, honestly – and I don’t think it’s made for people reading on their phones. Like the font is small, the layout is fine for laptops but looks really small on phones (unless you choose “Reader View”) – and that right hand nav is just so … huge, it takes up so much space.

      I keep meaning to figure it out but I am not technologically inclined. and WordPress frightens me – they’re so whimsical – they wipe out my comments AND my photos? Clearly it was my problem, I didn’t update what I was supposed to update – but whatever.

      Thank God for the Mark Lipperts of the world.
