# Subscriber can't comment

 * Setting up my first website with wordpress now. In testing how comments would
   work (I want to authorize comments before publishing), my daughter subscribed.
   I received the e-mail showing that she subscribed. BUT, when she goes to post
   a comment, WP requires her to log in. When she logs in, it rolls back to the 
   blog page requesting her to log in (without any option to comment on the original
   blog). I tried the same myself – it won’t let me comment, just keeps requesting
   that I log in (again). Help!

 * Is this a self hosted website with a WordPress theme, or, a site on WordPress.
   com?

 * ok, thanks.
 * Do you want all your users to create a WP account before commenting?
 * This might solve your issue:
 * Go to Settings > Discussion > Other comments settings.
 * Uncheck ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment’.
 * Then just make sure that ‘An administrator must always approve the comment’ is
   checked.
 * Also uncheck ‘Comment author must have a previously approved comment’
