I found that when I changed my admin email address away from my AOL address (which had the wordpress generated address in the whitelist already btw), the comments went through. However, during testing I found that the WP Spam shield was overly aggressive and gave a spam message to the user if they filled in the website field in the comments section. Crazy, but a topic for another thread. Closing this one.

Thanks for answering, yes I do check that folder all of the time. No emails have come for comments or feedback since updating to 4.8

It seemed to be a system glitch where my blog and the Jetpack server lost connection. I’ve since posted successfully, so am closing this thread.

Turned out to be an extra ending div in one of my posts which was the culprit. So, if this happens, set your posts to single and check out post by post to find which is causing the issue.

Also, when I view the enhanced stats on WordPress.com the post in question has in place of the post title, #2391 (loading title). I’ve not seen this before. Related?

Just to let you know I had the same issue as well today. No subscriber emails or publicize posts today. Here’s the post link.https://dailyadventuretales.com/new-friends/
Any updates on what’s up?

Figured it out, here’s the code to set the number of characters in the menu. rough, not checking or adding ellipses, but works for me.

foreach ($posts as $post) {?>
<option value=”<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID);?>”><?php echo substr($post->post_title,0,20);?></option>
<?php }
