I donno why comment box in a self hosted blog post [Jetpack enabled] disappears from the mobile devices [phones, tablets or ipads].
Though comment box is not shown up in mobile wordpress app for self hosted blogs, it appears in desktop page.
Its really frustrating when you are unable to leave a feedback after reading a post of your choice.
A few solutions which I have seen are
- Go to the direct web blog URL as in wordsandnotion
- Tap on the Gravatar icon which will take you to the reader view of whole blog posts and there tap on the required one to comment
- Tap on the post link if it appears along with your notifications
While I tried to contact Jetpack team, they told like ‘this commenting feature is yet not fully implemented.’
And interestingly one more thing they informed me. That is if you follow more than 1K or 2K blogs, self hosted blogs wont appear in your reader even if you follow them.
So only option is to subscribe on self hosted blog like wordsandnotion [ not the regular wordpress follow]. Then you will get email notifications on post updates. [E-mail notifications wont be getting for wordpress followers from self hosted blogs, you will get emails only if you subscribe]
If this specific post comes to the notice of Jetpack team or wordpress team, I wish some workarounds to happen at the earliest from their side
Also if you already know any solutions for these issues please let me know… [ so if you are on mobile devices and if you dont see comment box along with this post in your wordpress app, please tap on my gravatar icon or go directly to wordsandnotion to leave your comments]
Very true. U echoed my words. I miss commenting on ur blogs often bcas of this
Yeah… it’s s a big issue actually
Great work
I have mentioned this before, but since I use a desktop always to go through posts, it is okay.
Hmm…some workarounds are required
Thank you for this post. I struggle with the app. My issues also include the like button which never works
But i thought you are on a free WordPress site and not a self hosted one..if you are running a wordpress site, it would be good to ping their community stating your problems..i suppose normally free wordpress sites are well supported.. By the way still you are managing a good number of readers with lot many likes and comments..hatsoff…
Thanks for the compliment.
I will contact them about these issues. Thanks
