 * Glad to help. USP does not provide any functionality that deals with comments,
   so most likely there is something else happening. The first thing that comes 
   to mind is, are comments enabled on the post itself?

 * I have just realised that there was an existing Page with the same name as the
   User Submitted Post so that when I edited the “Post” I ended up editing the Page
   
   This was why I could not add a comment to this post. I have deleted the Page 
   and now everything works What I don’t understand is how WordPress can allow that
   to happen Perhaps you would like to try it on your system I have ticked the “
   Unique Titles” box now but perhaps it is still possible to name a post with the
   same title as a pre-existing page USP is using the title of the post as the URL
   of the post If I create a post normally, it uses the date as part of the URL,
   i.e. [https://ebps.org.uk/2018/12/02/](https://ebps.org.uk/2018/12/02/) What 
   do you think?

 * I am getting more confused than ever!
    The USP post can be accessed using 2 URLs
   [https://ebps.org.uk/dryopteris-affinis/](https://ebps.org.uk/dryopteris-affinis/)
   [https://ebps.org.uk/2018/12/07/](https://ebps.org.uk/2018/12/07/)
 * I don’t understand what is going on, however I notice that this is true of all
   my posts!

 * Yeah I have no idea what you may be dealing with.. never heard of anything like
   that before. Let me know if I can provide any specific infos about the plugin
   itself. Glad to help however possible.

 * Hey Andrew, I hope you got this sorted out. Haven’t heard back in awhile so gonna
   assume all is well and mark this thread as “resolved” to help keep things organized.
   Feel free to post again with any further questions, feedback, etc. Thank you
