    Someone emailed stating they needed a password to leave a comment on one of my posts.

    How do I change the need to enter a password before a user can enter a comment?

    Not sure how this new requirement was tripped!

    Thanks

    Is this a wordpress.com site or a self-hosted WordPress install?

    Not sure what you are asking /-:

    I’m guessing it is a WP.com site using Thesis (rickdiffleyphotography.com).

    Actually it’s a self-hosted WordPress install. 🙂

    Navigate to Settings -> Discussion and uncheck “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” – then save your changes.

    Thanks, but when I checked, that option is already unchecked.

    Have you tried logging out and commenting on one of your own Posts? I cannot see anything on the site that indicates a requirement to be logged in before you an comment.
