# Users cannot comment

 * I’m new to WordPress (blog went live in late December) and very nontechy. Users
   used to be able to post comments and now they can’t. Friends who have been registering
   as users in the last several weeks have not been able to comment. The person 
   who was able to comment back in December can no longer comment. I have looked
   at topics that are the same and I’m not understanding references to code.
    My
   site is [http://www.thedressat50.com](http://www.thedressat50.com) I have checked
   and rechecked my settings for comments and nothing has changed since my one friend
   was able to post back in December.

 * Have you reviewed the setting in admin dashboard>settings>discussion> for how
   much time a comment can be made (the time from post date to present)…by default,
   your statement would hold true for an old post with default settings…settings
   which can also be modified by a theme or plugin…or by a user.

 * I have the same problem, users are not able to comment from my page.
 * I have checked all settings for comments and also in admin dashboard>settings
   >discussion and time is unticked. So there should be no problem for people to
   post…
 * My site is: [http://www.bpetersen.dk/blog](http://www.bpetersen.dk/blog)
    Any
   advice?
