Don

I am using word press Twenty Eleven theme (1.3 version)

Also using latest version of Word Press 3.3

Thank you.

Here is a copy of the main Dashboard-Settings-Discussion Panel.I’ve indicated which options I have Checked. I hope you are able to make some sense out of it and tell me which options to turn on or off. I guess this is what happens when you are on the bottom of the learning curve with WordPress.Thanks so much for your help.

DEFAULT ARTICLE SETTINGS:

*Default article settings Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article. (this is checked)
*Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.) (this is checked)
*Allow people to post comments on new articles
(These settings may be overridden for individual articles.) (this is checked)

OTHER COMMENTS SETTINGS: ( Which of these options should I check?)

*Comment author must fill out name and e-mail

*Users must be registered and logged in to comment

*Automatically close comments on articles older than days

* Enable threaded (nested) comments 2345678910 levels deep (currently checked)

* Break comments into pages with top level comments per page and the lastfirst page displayed by default (currently checked)

* Comments should be displayed with the oldernewer comments at the top of each page

E MAIL ME WHENEVER:

* Anyone posts a comment (currently checked)

*A comment is held for moderation (Currently Checked)

BEFORE A COMMENT APPEARS:

*Before a comment appears An administrator must always approve the comment

*Comment author must have a previously approved comment

Comment Moderation :

*Hold a comment in the queue if it contains or more links. (A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.)

*When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URL, e-mail, or IP, it will be held in the moderation queue. One word or IP per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.

Comment Blacklist

*When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URL, e-mail, or IP, it will be marked as spam. One word or IP per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.

Thank you for creating with WordPress. • Documentation • Freedoms • Feedback • Credits

Thanks for asking…….I just checked again and I have both boxes checked for comments and discussion. This is on the page where I create new posts.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I hope you can help.

Thanks again
