On Friday, I happily relayed the news that I installed the Jetpack (wordpressdotcom) comment form, to make it easier for those using the WordPress reader.
Best of all, I was excited to introduce a new edit feature! We’ve all wished we could correct a typo in a comment, yes? Well…
I’m sorry to report, it didn’t work out! 😩 The edit plugin is incompatible with the Jetpack comment form. It was causing various technical problems, so I had to remove it.
Disappointment number two: For years, I had a plug-in that would notify people by email if someone responded to their comment. Well, damned if that isn’t incompatible with the new form too! 🫤
I guess it’s okay if you’re on WordPress, because there’s the “Notifications” drop-down. How are people on other platforms like Blogger going to know if their comment was answered?
Can anyone tell me if there’s a way to set that up? I couldn’t find any answers. 🤔
Anyway…
Wishing everyone a good week!

Excellent video choice.
Sorry to hear it’s not working out that well. I can’t help with other platforms unfortunately, I’m often still struggling with WordPress!
Best wishes, Pete.
Sorry to hear it didn’t work out, Debbie 😞 that sucks, I wish I could give you some kind of direction but I’m totally clueless when it comes to this stuff!
I am sorry to hear that it did not work out. Incidentally I am having problems with commenting today (on everyone’s blog posts) despite being on wordpress.com. Let’s see if this one will work.
I was so reluctant to install this commenting system for that very reason, Thomas. Too many problems! Your comment came through, though.
Things don’t always work out the way you want them to. 🫤
