 * Hi,
 *  This is very frustrating so I really hope someone call help me with this problem.
   On a lot of my posts, comments are showing up as pingbacks, but they’re comments
   and the comments aren’t showing. Here’s a few examples:
 * [http://fromjoetojack.com/time-management-tips/](http://fromjoetojack.com/time-management-tips/)
 * [http://fromjoetojack.com/attract-women/](http://fromjoetojack.com/attract-women/)
 * I’ve tried other reset the theme options and even tried another theme. I’ve tinkered
   with all of the discussion options and nothing is working. Any help is greatly
   appreciated. Also, I’ve disabled pingbacks entirely because they’re awful in 
   my opinion but they’re still showing up despite changing the settings.
 * Thank you!
 * Eric

 * I believe this happened with the last WordPress update.

 * Have you tried deactivating ALL plugins and switching to the default theme to
   see if any are causing that?

 * Yes, just deactivated all my plugins and switched to the 2013 theme. The problem
   still persists.
