Is It Just Me? — 1LinerWeds

As many of you know, I have been having a problem where my comments are being duplicated on your blog. Now, I know you love hearing from me, but I’m sure once is enough. In addition to apologizing after the fact, and pre-apologizing in some case, I have been working with the Happiness Engineers.

I sent the before and after screen shots, showing the empty comment box, and the duplicate comments.

On Sunday, I sent them a list of seven blog URLs where my comments were duplicated. It doesn’t happen every time, and, so far, it only happens once per blog.

Here’s the response I received on Tuesday morning:

I tested this from my end but wasn’t able to replicate the issue—comments only posted once. This was reported to our developers earlier, but so far, we haven’t been able to reproduce it, and we haven’t received similar reports from other users.

Happiness Engineer for One-Liner Wednesday by Linda G. Hill

Am I the only one inflicting this particular comment pain on my blog friends? We all know there are a lot of problems with WordPress comments, but please let me know in the comments below if you have duplicates from other readers, or if your comments have been duplicated. Anything you can add about comments might be helpful because I’m going to send a link to this post to the Happiness Engineers working on this issue.

If you are mentioning a comment problem, and if you don’t mind, can you add something to indicate where you comment from (Reader, Safari, Chrome – Apple/Windows – iPhone/Android/Tablet) – I’m sure the HEs would like to know — thanks!

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

    I’ve not had the duplicating issue, Dan (once is definitely enough of me) but I do still have disappearing comments on some blogs. It’s always when you least expect it, and have been lulled into a false sense of security. I comment via Reader. Happy Wednesday xx

    I haven’t had duplicates of your comments Dan. Nor have I had it happen to me. I sometimes get a message to say “It looks like you already posted that comment” or words to that effect. This usually happens if I think the comment was not posted and try to post it again.

    Although I use the Reader I always go to “visit post” to make the comment directly on the person’s blog. I use Chrome most of the time.

    Yes your first comments on my posts are duplicated. I use a PC on Firefox. I just delete the second comment
    No one else’s comments are duplicated and as far as I know, mine aren’t duplicated anywhere either.
    I am practising self restraint from doing a copy and paste for a second comment 😁

    I’m not experiencing any problems with comments, Dan. There are no duplications. I did encounter issues leaving comments via email notifications on some blogs, receiving a ‘Sorry, this comment could not be posted’ message. However, after reporting the issue to WordPress, they fixed it, although it took a few weeks. Other users had also reported the same problem.

    I hope you receive more examples from users who are experiencing the same problem that you can take back to WordPress.

        I got a message from WordPress last week saying the problem had been fixed. They kindly asked me to check that everything was working correctly again over a few days and to let them know if the problem was still occurring. But I’m delighted that a week on, there is no sign of the ‘Sorry, this comment could not be posted’ message, so they managed to fix the issue. Apparently, it was affecting 25% of users.

I no longer have the patience for it, as my past experience with reporting/dealing-with were less than satisfactory (I’m practicing my British understatement there).

      Thanks Ginger. I’m hoping the warm-ish rain will melt the ice that remains in our front yard.

      I’m sure the engineers will get through this mess, or figure out what I’m doing wrong.

      More green and less white is a good color change. I hope it stays moving in that direction.

      Arnold is such a brute. He’s one of only a few that ever stand like that, but you can be sure I tossed him a peanut 😉

      I walked today before it started raining. It was windy, so I got a great photo of Old Glory blowing over the Veterans Memorial.

      Have a good rest of the week, Ginger. Stay dry today.

    I have seen your duplicate comments on other blogs, but not on mine so far. I’m not aware of my comments being duplicated. I open posts via email on Chrome and have experienced the dreaded ‘error’ message and away the comment goes. So, I’ve been copying each comment before I actually hit the button. It has not been as frequent this week, so maybe they have made some progress.

      I forgot my latest WordPress issue. If I’m reading comments on a blog post, I cannot ‘like’ a comment unless I make a comment first. So, I have to read the comments, make a comment, and then go back and reread to find the ones I want to like. They certainly make something fun challenging and time consuming.

    No duplicating of comments for me, Dan. Sorry it happens to you at times. But occasionally my comments disappear when I try to post on other people’s blogs. I try to remember to copy them before clicking the “comment” button; they always post on the second attempt. I use Chrome on a laptop when doing WordPress.

    Your double comment came up just yesterday on my blog, Dan. But that is the only time I can remember. I hope the HEs can help. Kind of makes you wonder what they are doing differently that they cannot duplicate the problem.

      As for what the HEs do differently, they work in a pristine environment. I know because that’s how I worked for over 40 years. The problems never affected those of us in IT, and saying “I can’t duplicate those results” was my standard answer forever.

    I have problems with WordPress sometimes not remembering who I am when I post a comment.

    However, on Esther Chilton’s blog I have found comments to enter before I actually press the “Comment” button. There I am usually formatting a poem and using Shift-Enter to get a new line. Doing that entered what I wrote so far as the comment. I thought it might have been that I pressed Ctrl-Enter by mistake, but I don’t know why anything but pressing “Comment” should work.

    Using the Reader to enter comments on her page worked without any problem.

    Here is an example although I think she removed the earlier errors: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2025/02/10/laughing-along-with-a-limerick-218/?jetpack_skip_subscription_popup

That happened to me on Monday. I haven’t seen that for a long time. It’s associated with a particular gallery view option. When I see that start, I type my comment in Notepad and paste it in.

    No duplicate comment problem, but with some WP blogs I’m not getting any indication via WP of replies to my comments. I don’t know if the bloggers have inadvertently [or on purpose?] turned off that feature OR if the system has gone wonky. Thus I have to return to see what was said to me.

    My comments are not duplicated. MY comment problem is that I’ll type a comment, push the “Comment” button and get a message saying something like “You comment cannot be posted…” I’ve not embedded links or anything, just typed a sentence, and of course the comment goes missing and I have to redo it. Often I have to log out and back into WP to get the exact same comment to post (or I give up). This is on my laptop, logged into my M.Oniker account, running Chrome. It is sporadic. Just when I think it is gone, it starts again. I’ve not reported it, because: WP.YOUR comments do duplicate on my site, but again, not all of the time. You mentioned it to me the once, I replied, and since then I just go in a delete the duplicate ones for you. I’ve deleted duplicates from you 3-5 times?

    I know that’s been bugging the Dickens out of you, Dan. Whenever l get that “we couldn’t replicate the problem” response (and I’ve gotten it dozens of times over the years) it infuriates me.
    WordPress gives me such a slew of different commenting problems that just listing them would hijack your post.
    I have gotten double comments from people besides you. And a few times my comments at other blogs duplicate.
    Whenever I get double comments I delete one of them. However, WP has also messed up the way I used to handle answering comments. Now its hard for me to see what’s going on, so I don’t always delete the duplicate.
    I enjoyed the critter pictures. Hugs.

    No, Dan…you are not alone. I’ve had a few commenters who’ve left duplicate comments as well. With the latest adjustments to the platform, there have been multiple issues but this is the least onerous. I subscribe via email notification and view posts through Chrome since WP has long seemed to dislike Safari. There is one blogger I can only leave comments through Safari. I almost need a spreadsheet to determine how to comment and where anymore.
    P.S. I’ve yet to have a HE’s duplicate problems. Mostly I’ve become used to work-arounds which seems like a stupid way to deal with things but it’s all so exhausting. And to think my blog is a paid business account 😬 Good luck.

      Thanks Monika. I may be switching to Chrome for WordPress. I’ve often considered Chrome to be the developer’s friend, as it has the least protection of all the major browsers. Developers like it because it doesn’t block certain operations (like third-party cookies) the way others do. I only use Chrome for research and social media. Maybe I’ll toss WordPress into that mix.

        Good luck. As is always the case, there are pros and cons to Chrome/Google. You have to decide what hill is the least painful to die on. I haven’t been able to dependably and successfully draft posts on Safari since Block was introduced. I keep asking myself why is it so hard and then I remember Blogger is even more challenging.

          I started blogging on Blogger. I agree, it was much worse. WordPress moves too fast trying to change things. Blogger never changes anything. I always have both browsers open. I think I’ll move gmail into Chrome so that when I click on a blog link, it opens there. I worry about personal security on Chrome, but gmail is already part of that pit.

          My access to my WordPress account will remain through Firefox.

Also, every WordPress comment I make, I have to sign in. I originally thought it would be a one time thing per post but it now seems permanent.

      I had that same issue with Safari after years of flawless performance. Now I can’t draft posts on it anymore. WP suggested I use Chrome which I’ve done since the introduction of the Block editor. That said, I can only comment on one particular blogger’s post in Safari after she changed something on her end for security purposes, and I have to go through Safari in order to leave a comment. All this switching back and forth is such a pain. The duplicate comment issue is practically minor compared to all the other crazy stuff since the Block editor was introduced.

        I agree that the duplicate comment is a small part of what’s wrong with comments on WP. It could be the tip of the iceberg though.

      Thanks for the input, John. WordPress seems to have concluded that the problem lies with me. I’m going to try using Chrome for reading and commenting on blogs. It may work, but I feel it’s them giving up. When I was working, we tested web access from Windows and Apple laptops using Microsoft, Chrome, Safari and Firefox browsers. We also tested iPhones, iPads, and at least one Android device. You can ask my wife about the number of times I called and asked her to visit a website. I know a lot of developers who only test on the platform they run and in Chrome.

    Just a thought – Do you usually write and post your comment directly on each individual’s blog, Dan, or do you comment from the WordPress Reader? Just wondered if it makes any difference, or if both methods result in duplicated comments… Nowadays I always comment on posts via the Reader otherwise WordPress makes me sign in every single time, which drives me nuts! :-)

      I don’t use the Reader very much, Ruth. I mainly visit blogs I follow in email, and I open the link from the email. Comments in the Reader work well, as do ones I make from the Alert pane in the browser. The problems all seem to be with the browser, and perhaps, with Firefox in particular. Thanks for the suggestion.

        Oh – I use Firefox too, maybe that’s part of the problem… maybe two Firefox browsers and WordPress don’t mix…

      Thanks Sherry. This might be helpful because your comment was duplicated here. When I comment via Jetpack, I have no problems, but I like seeing the threads in a browser. I agree about the blue jays and cameras.

    I do get two comments from you on my posts. I don’t have a problem with it as I’d rather hear from you twice than not at all. And the second one is easy to delete. I find with WordPress, if I wait long enough, it fixes itself. I will add that your comments are the only ones that show up twice. I myself have no problem commenting on yours or anyone’s blog. Hope that info helps.

    I love Arnold! The perfect name for him.

    I have this issue at times too. I’ve given up on WP happiness engineers. They help sometimes but most often not. Have you tried changing the theme? I’m having issues with this theme as well.

    I haven’t had the issue of duplicate comments but have had them disappearing and have to enter them again. Sometimes I follow and comment on my JetPack app and other times in my desktop. Hope it gets sorted, Dan. Love the photos!

    I’d have jumped into this yesterday, but I couldn’t even log in to WP yesterday. Not too frustrating. But the problem might have been my computer. Your comments do come in duplicates, and at this point, I just laugh. It’s so emblematic of everything! I use Reader and Windows. I agree with everyone who says you should stay on the good side of Arnold; he does not look like the laid-back type.

    LOL! That stance Arnold has is serious non! :) Your blue jays are so pretty.

    I haven’t had a duplicate comment from you but, for several months now I’ve been having comment issues. I’m typing this in the comment box via your post that I received in my email inbox. If it doesn’t work I’ll go to the reader. Fingers crossed it works here. I am being asked to login every time I enter the comment box and I am logged in already! It’s beyond frustrating these comment issues we’re so many of us having.
