How to Stop Appearing as Anonymous When Leaving Comments on WordPress
How do you stop showing up as ‘Anonymous’ when leaving comments on WordPress?
It can be frustrating not only for those leaving comments on blogs when they appear as ‘Anonymous’, but also for the blog host, who won’t know who left the comment unless there are clues to the person’s identity.
Are you ‘Anonymous’ when leaving comments?I see many comments from ‘Anonymous’ on other blogs saying they don’t know why they are showing up as ‘Anonymous.’ Many go on to blame WordPress for it.
However, it’s not always WordPress’s fault!
What are the reasons for your comments showing as ‘Anonymous’
The most likely reason is that you are not logged into a WordPress.com account. But there are other reasons.
Here are the main reasons and fixes for appearing as ‘Anonymous’
Missing Gravatar: WordPress uses a service called Gravatar (Globally Recognised Avatar) to display your profile picture and name. If you haven’t set up a Gravatar with your email address, WordPress defaults to ‘Anonymous.’
How to fix it: – Set up a Gravatar account. You can create a free account at gravatar.com and associate your email and name with a profile picture. You must use the same email address for your Gravatar account as you use for your WordPress blog, so it connects to your blog.
Not Logged In: If you are not logged into your WordPress.com or WordPress-connected account, the site treats you as a guest, often defaulting to ‘Anonymous.’
How to fix it: Ensure you are logged into your WordPress account before commenting.
Site Configuration: The blog owner may have set up their site to permit comments without requiring a name or email address. This is because not everyone wishes to disclose their name or identity. I respect my readers’ privacy, so I have configured my blog to allow comments without revealing commenters’ identities.
How to fix it: Ensure you are logged into your WordPress account before commenting.
Browser Issues: Cache/Cookies: Old cache or cookies can prevent your credentials from being recognised.
How to fix it: Clearing your browser’s cache and cookies often solves this problem. I’ve noticed this method works whenever I encounter issues with any website, not just WordPress. I clear the cache and cookies on my desktop computer at least once every few months, but the frequency depends on how often you use a device. If the problem persists, try a different browser or open a new window in your current browser in ‘incognito‘ mode to see if that resolves it.
App Glitches: Like everything else, the WordPress Jetpack app will cause problems if you don’t update it.
How to fix it: Try updating it, logging out and back in, or reinstalling the app. If your device is not set to automatically update apps, consider changing the settings so you don’t have to remember to update them. If you don’t have the latest updates, you’re likely to encounter problems.
Outdated themes: When WordPress retires a theme, it ceases support for it. This means that any bugs, including those affecting how your comments appear, will not be fixed.
How to fix it: Switch to a current WordPress-supported theme.
Privacy Settings: If your browser is blocking third-party cookies, it may prevent your profile from appearing correctly on other people’s blogs.
How to fix it: Change your browser’s settings to enable cookies.
Theme bugs: Some bugs may only affect certain WordPress themes. ‘Anonymous’ comments are one such bug.
How to fix it: If you have tried everything else and your comments are still showing as ‘Anonymous’, report the bug to WordPress, and ensure you inform them of the device you are using and the name of your blog’s theme.
Summary:
- Create a free Gravatar account at gravatar.com and associate your email and name with a profile picture. Ensure you use the same email address so that your Gravatar account connects to your blog.
- Always ensure you are logged into your WordPress account before leaving comments.
- Clear the cache and cookies in the browser on the device you use to browse the internet.
- Try using a different browser or leaving a comment while in ‘incognito’ mode.
- The blog’s host may have set it up to allow comments without requiring a name, email address, or WordPress login. Therefore, ensure you are logged into your WordPress account.
- Ensure the WordPress/Jetpack app is up to date by downloading its latest software.
- Change your blog’s theme if WordPress have retired it.
- Change your browser’s settings to allow third-party cookies.
- Tried everything in the above list, but still encountering the problem. Report the bug to WordPress.
Have you encountered issues with your comments appearing as ‘Anonymous’? What steps did you take to resolve your ‘Anonymous’ comment problems? Did any particular solution work best for you?

I don’t use the WordPress Reader nearly as much as I should.
I get email notifications when new blog posts are published by the bloggers I follow. This makes sense as I only follow around 55 blogs, most of which publish no more than a few times a week.
Am I missing out on not using the WordPress Reader? I think so, yes! But why?
Tell me why you use or don’t use the WordPress Reader.One of the reasons I stopped using the WP Reader was that when I was following over 500 blogs, I felt like a hamster constantly running around a wheel in my endless battle to reach the top of the reader. I never reached the top, so I thought I was missing out!
However, I occasionally use the WordPress Reader to search for posts on subjects I enjoy reading. In my opinion, this is where the WordPress Reader is at its best!
For example, I recently entered the word ‘WordPress’ into the reader search bar and was presented with a long list of blog posts in which ‘WordPress’ had been used as a category or tag (this shows how important categorising and tagging your posts is).
But before I discuss some of the search results, let me first say that, unlike some bloggers who seem to think WordPress has deleted the ‘Reader,’ the WP Reader has moved.
Where is the WordPress Reader?
If you’re using a desktop computer, the WP Reader is now located in the top right corner of your blog. Look for the pair of spectacles icon.
The WordPress Reader icon has changed and moved.Click on it, and you’ll be taken to the WordPress Reader.
On mobile phones and tablets (using the Jetpack app), the WP Reader icon (spectacles) is located at the bottom of the screen.
What I found in the search results!
I was delighted to see some of my posts appear in the search results. However, I was more interested in the posts from blogs I don’t currently follow.
One of those posts that grabbed my attention was from Mitch, who blogs at The Power Of Story. Mitch’s post, ‘What’s Up WordPress?‘, was about the sudden ups and downs of his blog’s number of subscribers/followers. Indeed, I’ve noticed the same thing happening with my blog.
My subscriber/follower stats have become like a fairground rollercoaster ride. Some days, I lose a lot of subscribers/followers, and then the numbers suddenly return, although not the same subscribers.
I did some digging and found that WordPress are now actively deleting spam blogs and blogs run by spambots. That’s a good thing, especially since I’ve been manually unsubscribing them for many months. WordPress is unsubscribing these blogs for me, although I will unsubscribe any I find myself.
Have you noticed your subscriber/follower numbers going on a rollercoaster ride recently?
Another post that grabbed my attention from the results page was from Kevin, who blogs at Chef Kevin Ashton. Kevin’s post, titled ‘The Thorny Issue Of WordPress Likes.’ touched on a subject I’ve often written about – the ‘like’ button!
Love it or hate it, the ‘like’ button is something just about every WordPress user and visitor will use. However, Kevin touched on the subject of ‘guilt’ by not using it, especially when he doesn’t have enough time to visit and read blogs.
I’ve been there, Kevin. Many bloggers feel guilty or stressed about not clicking ‘like’, visiting blogs that follow them, or leaving comments. Yet, in my opinion, nobody really cares that you can’t always visit their blog. I’ve discovered that leaving one engaging comment occasionally that shows you read the post is much more appreciated than leaving short, non-engaging comments just to prove you visited. However, you may not have read their post.
I’ve written many posts about blogging guilt and stress. In my last post on the subject, ‘Stressed Or Feeling Guilty About Blogging? Please Read This Post. Let’s Keep Blogging Fun,’ many readers spoke up about how bad they feel when they don’t have the time to read blogs, click ‘like,’ and leave comments, often resulting in blogging feeling like a chore rather than something that should be enjoyed.
Nobody should ever feel obliged to read posts, click the ‘like’ button or leave comments. Keep blogging fun.
How do you deal with blogging stress or guilt?
The happy and sad sides of blogging!
It was also lovely to see blog posts celebrating milestones on WordPress in the results. From celebrating 15 years of blogging on WordPress to publishing their 100th post and some folks being notified that their blogs had achieved half a million visits, these posts brought a smile to my face.
Of course, posts complaining about how bad WordPress is and the problems bloggers are having also appeared in the results. Although I only read a few, most of the reported issues were related to WordPress’s changes, and the author often confirmed in the comments section that the issue(s) had now been resolved.
Personally, I’m pleased that WordPress does make changes. If they left things alone, the platform would quickly become outdated and dull, as would all our blogs. WordPress would lose many paying customers, and we’d all lose our blogs if they went out of business. I used to hate change but learned that adapting to it is much less stressful than fighting it
Are you encountering any issues with WordPress? My recent post, ‘WordPress Problems: Don’t Panic! How To Solve Issues Quickly,’ may be of some help.
Are your blog posts appearing on the WordPress Reader?
I always check that my blog posts appear in the WordPress reader. To do this, I follow my blog and check the reader immediately after publishing a post. If it’s not there, I know there’s a problem.
There are several reasons why your posts may not appear in the WordPress Reader. The main reason is that you add too many categories and tags to a post. WordPress allows up to 15 categories and tags combined. Your post could be marked as spam and won’t appear if you add more, so ensure you do not add more than 15 tags and categories (combined).
There may also be technical reasons why your posts don’t show in the reader. If you don’t see your posts, contact WordPress. They’ll be able to help.
That’s it for today. I’ll share other interesting posts when I do more searches on the WordPress Reader.
