We all know how these things go, content creators create content, votes happen whether strictly or arbitrarily and then BAM! You get placed on a list!
It’s kind of interesting, kind of flattering, and well, I’m sharing it here because it happened! Here is the snippet of me, and behind the more there are the 99 other blogs mentioned and referenced! I do wish you the best in finding good content here and without! :)
There you are, sitting there posting an absolutely awesome blog post which is getting a LOT of attention. OMG THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING IN! EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING HOW AWESOME IT IS. Yet no one is commenting on it on the blog. WTF is going on here! So you take a moment to browse over to your blog post everyone is so enamored with only to find in the comments section.
And you start freaking out. WTF IS GOING ON HERE!?!? I DIDN’T CLOSE COMMENTS. It’s strongly possible, that you didn’t. But you can fix this.
When this happened to me just the other day I immediately started doing searches for “Wordpress Comments are closed” “Wordpress comments disabled” “disabled comments” and every other iteration of it, only to find… a whole REAM of absolutely useless and piece of crap posts and forum conversations which did NOT help. A lot of them refer to checking the “Discussions” area in the control panel of wordpress… Yea, that doesn’t change over night.
But I also recall some time ago having made a change from using Twitter Tools to “Social” because they claimed the tools I PREFERRED were no longer supported or would function, so upgrades will need to be done.
Here is the kicker, if you are using Social by MailChimp that could be the cause of your problem, so next steps involve visiting your WordPress Control Panel
And you may come across this little gem:
Turns out that Social has integrated it’s own Comment Display system… which I’ve never seen and could give a damn for since it essentially BROKE my comments. So by taking the next step and by checking the box….
All of a sudden my blog went from “Comments are closed.” to enabled and allowing people to COMMENT again! Hooray, right!
If you find this benefits or is useful to you, feel free to COMMENT and let me and everyone else know :) Also if you do come across other solutions you wish to share in the comments, don’t hesitate to make it known! Good luck and good commenting!
I want to make special mention of Vaughn Stewart of of the Virtual Storage Guy blog.
This guy is sharp, smart, and quite possibly one of the best resources you can tap regarding Virtualization as a technology for the past, present and future.
If you have virtualization involved in your datacenter, small, medium or large. I’d keep a close watch on what he has to say :)
So, welcome his re-entry to the blogosphere with a visit to his blog! :)
