    When people try to leave comments on my blog, they get the error message: “ERROR: The comment could not be saved. Please try again later.”

    I’ve disabled all plugins and tried to leave a comment. No change.

    I’ve tried using different themes. No change.

    The problem seems to be with WordPress and may have started with the update to 4.1.1

    Can anyone please help?

    My site is https://annelandmanblog.com

    Have you tried change your themes?
    If it work with default wordpress theme, it can be not compatible with your current theme.

    or maybe

    Check your database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), do you have an wp_comments table?

    While you’re in there, also check all of the tables and choose “Repair Tables” from the bulk actions menu.

    Yes, I tried it with several different themes, and had the same problem. Comments still did not work with default wordpress themes.

    My host is GoDaddy.

    How do I find out if I have a wp_comments table? What is the code for such a table, and can I insert it into my site myself?

    Will removing and reinstalling WP 4.1.1 fix this problem without wiping out all of my past blogs?

    Are you familiar with MySQL with phpmyadmin?

    If not, you should see https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5942/accessing-phpmyadmin-on-your-shared-hosting-account how to get there..

    Then by this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P_iaiw1III start from 7:17 browse your wp_comment and check is there any saved data of previous comments still in there?
    If you still have the wp_comment data, you can try to reinstall wordpress by backup all your files and database first.

    Search google how to backup and restore wordpress or keep posting here.
