In the past few days, I have been having a fit with my blogger. I have not been able to comment on others post nor could I reply to comments on my own post without being anonymous. Even when I would choose “Google”, It would resort right back to anonymous. I was fed up.
I checked all my settings on Blogger and Google. Everything was good. I could not figure out what was wrong. Then I just searched my question and hoped to find where someone else had the same problem and I could figure it out that way.
I learned that Blogger comments are through a third party and I must have third party cookies enabled to comment of blog post. “What does that even mean?” So I went back to my settings and tried to find out where I could turn this feature on which only led me in circles. No answers.
I finally found a thread in Google with others having the same problem. I still could not get answers but one answer led me to IOS settings. IOS is an iPhone or iPad operating system.
I finally fixed it! I am a happy blogger again. It was not a problem with Blogger or Google. So, If your are anonymous and want to know how to fix it. Grab your iPhone or iPad and go to “settings”. From there, go to your “apps” and scroll down and click on “Google or Chrome” and turn on “Allow Cross-Website Tracking”. I can not promise this will fix your problem but it fixed mine on both devices.
I guess when I did a phone update, it turned off this feature by default.
YES! when something like that happens it drives me up a wall. Many times I get things fixed and don't know how. I will try to keep this in mind. I am glad you found the problem. I know the feeling of relief.. Our weather is much better since you guys closed the door. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe best,
JAck * sherry!
Glad you're getting some better weather. It's been in the 60's here this week.
DeleteWow good for you for figuring that out. I've been lucky and haven't had that problem. Comments I receive sometimes go to spam, but I check it every day and then I can publish the comments.
ReplyDeleteI need to check my comments more for spam sents.
DeleteWell Lisa I think you are a genius to have figured that out lol . that’s why I only read blogs and don’t have one. It’s hard to figure out all of this tech stuff. If only it was easier. Thank goodness I can at least read them. Don’t even get me started on having to have apps on our phones so we can get discounts at the food stores when they don’t work as they should anyway. When did things get so complicated??? Sharon K
ReplyDeleteRight? Those shopping apps are a pain!
DeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteThank you😊
DeleteCrazy all the hoops we have had to jump through over the years with blogger. If they were all for improvement that would be one thing...but...sadly, I don't see postive changes. Glad you got it figured out. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I wish they would improve. Make blogging fun again.
DeleteI've had many problems like that when it comes to commenting. Such a headache, like y'all I wish blogging was fun like when we all first started. xoxo Love ya
ReplyDeleteI've piddled with other platforms but so much to add
DeleteInteresting. I have quite a few blogger I know that always leave anonymous comments. I approve them because they have been commenting on my blog for years. They may have this same issue and just haven't gotten around to fixing it like you did.
ReplyDeleteThats could be possible.
DeleteI have few too.
