   I just converted from WP.com to WP.org. I have not been receiving comments and when I did some researching I notice that on WP.com sites people can plug in their name/email/URL but on WP.org it says the user must be "logged in" to WP before they comment.

   Can I change this?

   Spend some time exploring your options when logged in -- you have a lot more now!

   Check the Discussion page under Settings. At a minimum, you'll want to uncheck "Users must be registered and logged in to comment "

   Hope that helps.

   Yes in the admin go to Settings then Discussion. You will find the options under Other Comment Settings.

   [x] Users must be registered and logged in to comment

   Chris, you're awesome, I am hoping unchecking that option will help!

   Thanks, I appreciate your patience as I try to navigate this new frontier :-)

   Dare I say it? Oh what the hell ...

   In the Codex - the first page you see for the forums - there is a link that says "getting started with WP". It is advisable that new WP users read it, or it would not be there.

   Saurus, yes, I have been reading through Codex - for days. Perhaps I missed that tiny piece of information? And while I understand the frustration seeing "obvious" questions, you could just, dare I say, refrain from answering.
