Comments not working

I was able to resolve this. Turns out jetpack still makes an entry in the comments table even if jetpack comments are enabled, and somehow my comments table auto-increment was missing on the primary key comment_ID, so no comment was inserted and thus jetpack did not record any comments as well.

Outstanding, I’m glad you found a fix! ??
