 * Hello,
    the “store my data for later” checkbox that was introduced with (I think)
   4.9.7 is gone after I installed a plugin that was supposed to add some text below
   the comment field. I uninstalled the plugin, but the checkbox is still gone (
   I tested it in incognito mode).
 * I am a WordPress/webdev noob. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcomment-checkbox-gone-after-installing-plugin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@flizzywp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flizzywp/),
 * Could you tell me what plugin did you install, please? I want to try it on my
   end and see if I can replicate this issue. This way I’ll be able to check this
   out and see how to make things go back to normal.

 * Thank you for your help!
 * The plugin is called “GDPR Comments”

 * Hi,
 * Could you make sure that the _Show comments cookies opt-in checkbox._ checkbox
   from _Dashboard → Settings → Discussion_ area is checked, please? This is the
   option that makes the “store my data for later” appear in the comments section.

 * Damn, I didn’t know about that option.
    Now it’s back, thank you!
