Can they submit comments if you switch off Jetpack’s Comments module at Jetpack -> Settings in your blog’s Dashboard?
Good suggestion but no luck – still got the same error when jetpack comments were deactivated.
Any other ideas?
Ok, try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue.
So, today it seems that with Jetpack Comments still turned off, the commenting is now available on my blog.
Why would that be, when jetpack comments worked until two days ago? Is it ok to turn it back on now (or ever)? Anything I should do to prevent this in the future?
There is probably something in your configuration blocking it.
At this point, I recommend asking at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/jetpack#postform so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

Recently discovered that I’m getting this message for all comment submissions:

and the following message when I’m logged in:

I’m not literate in code or editing – hired someone to design my theme. Really unsure how to uninstall/reinstall themes or make edits in editor. Please advise the naive user-friendly way I can address this new problem ASAP.
Thanks!
