When I went to respond to all of today’s comments, I noticed that all of the posts had comments disabled. Then, I noticed all my settings were messed up. Somehow, comments got turned off. Maybe on all my posts. I found this thread talking about it. Anyone else having this issue? Ugh. What a pain in the butt this is going to be.
Update: the SQL command in the post I linked to worked! It turned ALL of my comments back on. But I just wasted an hour figuring it out.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
that sucks
de – Let me know if it happens to you. I was able to fix it through my powweb admin.
Yes, and I still have to check the ‘allow comments’ box for each individual post. Not the biggest deal, but I’ve forgotten to do that a couple times now. Thankfully, some kind soul usually gives me a heads up!
Sorry to hear. Does explain a lot though. Thought you’d gone the Dooce route. 😉
Catherine – I hope the wp people fix this! What a pain! It’s one thing to have to remember to check “allow comments,” but a whole other thing to have to go back and turn all comments back on!
kapgar – HA! Never!
