  • It looks like you need to go into your Comments settings to allow people who aren’t logged in to comment as well.

    On your dashboard go to Settings>Discussion

    Make sure that
    ‘Allow people to post comments on new articles’
    ‘Anyone posts a comment’
    are checked –

    Make sure that
    ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment’
    ‘A comment is held for moderation’
    ‘Comment author must have a previously approved comment’
    are un checked until you see that comments start to populate.

    I would make sure your email is correct in your site because I like to make sure that I am in control of what is being posted on my site by checking ‘A comment is held for moderation’. It will email you when someone comments so that you can moderate it – if not you can check the Comments tab in your WordPress dashboard.

    Here’s a great overview of comment settings in the WordPress codex…
